There are a lot of spectacular ways to experience the Great Wall but this one might just take the cake. Jeb Corliss, also known as the “Human Arrow,” flew over the Great Wall on Sunday, successfully completing his signature stunt. 

The American base-jumper and skydiver performed his daring “human arrow” stunt over the Great Wall in Tianjin. Dressed in a wingsuit, Corliss jumped out of a helicopter from roughly 1.83 kilometers in the air. He managed to glide precisely through the air at a speed of 193km/h and nail a small, fist-sized target that hung over the Great Wall.

Corliss, 40, has performed similar stunts around the world, jumping from iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Space Needle in Seattle, the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro and the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur.

The Great Wall stunt was originally scheduled for Saturday but was postponed due to dangerously strong winds.
