Video: Wingwan Gary Connery Becomes First Skydiver To Land Safely Without Parachute

Here's Gary Connery, 42, of Oxfordshire, England, jumping out of a helicopter at 2,400-feet and landing with out a parachute on a pad of 18,600 cardboard boxes 350-feet long, 40-feet wide and 12-feet high. Balls of steel, Gary, balls of steel.

Connery's buddy, Mark Sutton, filmed the feat with a follow cam until the last minute. Can't wait to see the second angle.
