"Oh my god," says Jeb Corliss, professional wing suit flyer as he lands in Zhangjiajie, China after coasting through a cave in a 1300m cliff. Watch this video, and you'll soon see that oh my god is really the only reaction appropriate, other than perhaps "awesome" or "how the hell?"
Like a sugar glider through the treetops, Corliss glides effortlessly from his Red Bull-sponsored plane, straight towards a cliff and then through the Tianmen Cave. The jump, or glide, occurred on Saturday, September 24 2011.

The world record for the highest ever wing suit flight is held by an Australian couple, Heather Swan and Glenn Singleman, who on July 24, 2008 jumped from 37,000 ft.
