In a death-defying stunt that's bound to leave vertigo sufferers feeling queasy, the 40-year-old plummeted 6,000ft from a helicopter.

"Could a human being travelling in a wingsuit at like 120mph after getting out of a helicopter a mile away from their target hit an apple sized target with a GoPro? And that was the idea."
