There’s been a lot of coverage of Gary Connery’s world record wingsuit landing, but not many of us have seen footage from Phase 2 of the wingsuit landing stunt. Following in Connery’s footsteps, Gary Davidson successfully landed his wingsuit on a much smaller pile of boxes. Impressive, Gary. If he missed that small landing area, the grass stains would’ve been a bitch to clean.

Gary Connery’s World Record Wingsuit Landing (Aerial View)

Check out this aerial view of Gary Connery’s world record wingsuit landing. On May 23, 2012, stuntman Gary Connery became the first skydiver in history to land a wingsuit without a parachute, with the help of 18,000 cardboard boxes as his landing strip. The people who helped set up all those boxes were probably a little pissed, considering more than 75% of them weren’t used… but probably not as pissed as Jeb Corliss (kidding, kidding). Congrats Gary!

Congrats to stuntman Gary Connery on making aviation history on May 23, 2012 as the first skydiver in the world to land a wingsuit without a parachute. The landing strip consisted of 18,000 cardboard boxes stacked 350ft long, 40ft wide and 12ft deep. Crazy, but way cool. What an amazing “first”… that’s beer Gary!
