Austrian wingsuit pilot Peter Salzmann completed a record flight in the Bernese Alps last weekend.
The 37-year-old set world records for the longest base flight time of 5:56 minutes and the longest base flight distance of 12.5 km with his innovative wingsuit foil.
With an altitude difference of 3402 meters, the flight also set a new record for the greatest altitude difference of a base jump. Salzmann landed safely between Lauterbrunnen and Interlaken after taking off from a rocky outcrop on the Jungfraujoch.
Salzmann and designer Andreas Podlipnik were supported by engineering teams from Red Bull Advanced Technologies in the development of the new technology.
