Luke Aikins

Jeb Corliss
He leaped into fame (Excuse, please), after jumping from structures like the Eiffel Tower and Brazil’s Christ Redeemer. In 2013, he did a jump called the ‘dagger’, as part of which, he jumped out of a helicopter and wearing a wingsuit, flew through a tiny crack in Mount Jianglang in China. This passage was only about 15 feet wide. He was even the first person to fly through a waterfall!
