It was a turn of events for the Brazilian after being hospitalised five months ago following a knife attack in the slums of Rio de Janeiro. He was shot in the back after bullets fired into the gap of his bulletproof vest.
He told reporters: ‘I am really lucky to be here today. I cherished every chance of flying.’
American Wingsuit jumper Jeb Corliss successfully hit two targets in one jump.
He jumped off a helicopter and around 25 seconds later he successfully hit one target near the peak of the mountain.
Following that, he dived downwards for around 1968 feet (600 metres) and made an S curve at the speed of 200 kilometres (124 miles) per hour, successfully hitting the second target.
