Birdman of Henley jumps 2,400ft onto a pile of cardboard boxes... and lives to tell the tale Stuntman Gary Connery 'flew' in a specially-designed wing suit for nearly a mile before landing on a pile of cardboard boxes Father-of-two made his terrifying skydive above Henley-On-Thames It marked the first time anyone has jumped from such a height without deploying a parachute and lived He has just jumped out of a helicopter at 2,400ft and is travelling rapidly towards us over the English countryside. Parachute? They are for sissies. Mr Connery prefers his sail-like 'Wingman' suit, which, everyone hopes, will allow him to steer towards a (relatively) soft landing on a bed of cardboard boxes. Ah yes, the landing. He admits that's the tricky bit.So as we wait for him in a sunlit field in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, all eyes are skyward. Standing nearby is his loyal wife Vivienne, who has spent the last couple of days helping her husband and an army of volunteers arrange a 12ft-deep layer of 18,600 boxes in a 40ft wide strip, about the length of a football pitch. Yesterday, as he clambered into the helicopter from which he was to make his leap of faith, the ex-paratrooper and veteran film stunt expert was confident he had left nothing to chance in his campaign to become the first man to pull off this death-defying stunt Jose Mourinho, Fabio Capello, Arsene Wenger, Sir Alex Ferguson, Harry Redknapp, Sven Goran Eriksson, Rafa Benitez, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle United, West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, Cricket, Rugby, Olympics, Tennis, World Cup, UEFA, Champions League, Premier League, Championship, Racing, Football, Golf, Formula 1 Wayne Rooney "Wayne Rooney (Football Player)" Champions Soccer Chelsea Manchester Highlights Goals United Arsenal Liverpool "Champions League" "Manchester United" Cup "Breaking News" "English Premier league" EPL Football "Manchester City" "Watch Rooney goal" Soccer Football Champions Norwich League Goal Arsenal Highlights Goals "Chelsea" Liverpool "Champions League" FA CUP "FA Cup" "Liverpool F C" Sports scores late winner Rooney "Semi Final" Tennis Match Torres "Fernando Torres" Live, video, Soccer, Streaming, EPL, Highlights, Premiership 2011/12, Barclay Premier League, Goals, Barclay Premier League, England Football German Bundesliga 1, Bundesliga League, Germany Football League 2011/12 Italian Calcio Serie A, Italy Premier League, Italia Calcio Mania 2011/12 France League 1, French Premier League, France Football League 2011/12 Spain Premiera Division, Spanish Premier League, Espana Football UEFA Champions League, UEFA cup, FA cup, Copa Del Rey, Copa Italia Link Wmp Sopcast Veetle Pcast PPlive PPstream Tvants TVU Justin TV
