Daredevil in a wingsuit makes the craziest basejump ever flying through a hole in a mountain just TWO metres wide

• The stunt took place in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland, three years after the base jumper came up with the idea
• Uli Emanuele is a professional wing suit pilot and won the Extreme Base Jump World Championship in Spain, 2010

With only two metres separating him from being crushed by the mountain face, one daredevil put his life on the line for a chance to achieve a daring stunt dreamed up three years ago.

Wearing a body camera, the remarkable footage shows Uli Emanuele, a professional base jumper wing suit pilot, soaring through the sky and passing through a mountain hole just two metres wide.
The video opens with an enthusiastic Emanuele hiking up to a rugged mountain, situated in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland.

Turning to the cameraman, he reveals his uncertainty about the jump: 'I think that is the largest section of the hole so it will probably be 2 metres and 60-70 centimetres.'
'I'm not sure. After yesterday's problem, I will try again from the other side of the mouth.'

Pulling on his blue wing suit, the daredevil adjusts his goggles before taking time to check over his kit for one final time before the jump.
With one big leap, Emanuele jumps off the edge of the mountain side and immediately the scale of his ambitious stunt becomes apparent as the small hole comes into site.

The wing suit immediately kicks into action and the spectacular views of the valley emerges.
Making a slight turn, the daredevil lines himself up for a near impossible flight through the cave and in a flash, he soars through the mini hole.
Several different angles are shown of the daredevil making the fiendish stunt. One slow motion sequence shot shows how close the daredevil came to crashing into the rock face.
Swooping over the lush green mountain side, the jubilant daredevil celebrates his remarkable stunt. Releasing his parachute, Emanuele lands safety in the grass, near an wooden hut.
Despite the adrenaline filled achievement, the relaxed daredevil is even seen at the end taking time to talk to several alpacas.
Emanuele told Geeky Gadgets: 'I found this hole three years ago. At that moment it was impossible to fly through.'
'After three years of hard training I was ready for it. I opened two different exits. I flew through the hole four times. That is the smallest hole ever flown through by anyone.'
The remarkable stunt was successfully carried out in September 2014, with the footage only emerging recently on to social media. The video has already attracted nearly a quarter of a million views.

Sponsorship once they get good at it....in the beginning i suppose they're probably just dedicated

[ocrage]

i could see the dudes who fly for redbull and gopro getting sponsorship deals, but thats like a small fraction of them. they have to be guys that were born into well off families who could afford to travel and spend thousands.

it doesn't cost a lot of money to travel to the alps if you live in europe...
