Original Message A stuntman has made aviation history by becoming the first skydiver in the world to land without the use of a parachute.

Gary Connery , 42, from Oxfordshire, leapt from a helicopter a mile above Henley then glided down using a specially adapted wing suit before landing on a "runway" of 18,000 cardboard boxes.

"It was so comfortable, so soft. My calculations obviously worked out and I'm glad they did," he told Sky News afterwards.
