Extreme athlete Roland Brunbauer successfully jumps with a paraglider from a 65-meter Ferris wheel, located in the very heart of Vienna, NOVA reported.

The 31-year-old Austrian says that he “just wanted to challenge himself”.

„This was something new for me. "To fly in urban conditions and land on busy streets," Brunbauer said after the jump.

Preparation for the extreme jump took him nearly a year. During that time, he and his team made hundreds of wind speed calculations to determine the perfect conditions for the venture.
