Daredevil Anthony Martin has performed an amazing escape while jumping out of a plane.
The escape artist was handcuffed and chained to the inside of a coffin and then pushed out of a plane, 2000m up in the air.
He escaped from his shackles whilst plummeting to Earth at 130mph. The 47-year-old thrill-seeker then deployed his parachute to glide safely back to the ground.
Anthony said: “I didn’t feel any force, but what I felt was lot a of jostling.”
Anthony first performed the skydive escape in 1988
Everyone involved in the stunt landed safely – but don’t try it at home!
