MELBOURNE - An Austrian skydiver has pulled off a world-first stunt, swapping planes mid-flight, 2100m above the ground.
Paul Steiner changed flights at a speed of 130km/h.
The 47-year-old formed a human connection between the two aircraft, before leaping off and parachuting to the ground.
“This was an incredible stunt that has not been done ever before! We rehearsed it for a whole year, minimised sources of errors and practised every single step again and again. In the end it was all worth it,” News.com.au quoted Steiner as saying. (ANI)
