Daredevil paraglides from Great Wall of China

An American daredevil has filmed himself paragliding off the Great Wall of China.

The unidentified man, known as Pittsburgh Paragliding on YouTube, claims to be the first to have jumped from the UNESCO World Heritage Site, while also suggesting his feat set a new world speed flight record.

The video shows hi leaping from a high section of landmark before gliding over the wall, enjoying stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

Despite his actions, the fearless daredevil doesn't seem to have been reprimanded by Chinese authorities, triumphantly shouting, "The guards are laughing, we're good!" at the end of his jump.
