The world famous base-jumper and wingsuit pilot Jeb Corliss has successfully performed the "Human Arrow" stunt at the Great Wall in north China's Tianjin.

On the morning of May 29, Corliss dropped from a helicopter at a height of around 1.83 kilometers, flying through the air at around 193km/h and hitting an apple-sized target suspended over the Great Wall.

The flight was originally scheduled for Saturday but Corliss has to postpone it due to strong winds at the site.

40-year-old Corliss is an American professional skydiver and base jumper.

He has jumped from sites including Paris' Eiffel Tower, Seattle's Space Needle, the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro and the Petronas Twin Tower in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
