He stands high up on a peak, spreads his arms, and jumps. This sounds life-threatening at

first, but actually it’s a popular sport for adrenaline junkies: flying through the air in a

wingsuit. But for Peter Salzmann, a pioneer in base jumps and parachute jumps, that's not

Together, they turned a risky idea into a stunt which had never been attempted before.
