Skydiver hangs on to wingsuit pilot flying at speeds of up to 145mph in incredible footage

A skydiver has completed a UK first by hanging onto a wingsuit pilot, flying through the sky at 145mph.

Dan May, 36, and Lee Rhodes, 56, completed the stunt to “push themselves.”

Rather than falling downwards like a regular skydive, May wore a wing suit, which meant he fell across the sky horizontally, with Rhodes holding on to a handle attached to the suit.

The pair fell through the sky in this manner for around three miles, before Rhodes let go of May’s suit to fall in a regular skydive.
