An American professional wingsuit flyer has successfully performed a jump and dive through China's Tianmen Hole - an actual hole through a mountain in Hunan province.

Jeb Corliss jumped nearly 2,000m (6,560ft) above the mountain before flying straight through it.

It was his second attempt as on his first the smoke brackets on his feet did not work properly.
