Check out Heather Swan and Glenn Singleman wingsuit jumping from the top of Mt Brento, Italy.
Super mom Heather — part of the only husband and wife base jumping team on the planet — is incredibly a world record holder in the sport after taking up the sport at 38 years old.
In a sensational new book yet to be published in UK, the daredevil mum tells her astounding story of how she went from regular woman to adrenaline junkie after marrying extreme sports-loving husband and doctor Glen.
Together the pair, from Sydney, Australia, have conquered some of the world’s highest peaks. After climbing the dizzying heights in locations like the Himalayas, the married couple launch themselves off wearing ‘wingsuits’. Jumpers fly further distances by simply increasing drag as they soar through the air use the specially designed body-wear.
The duo’s exploits have now lead them to become a base-jumping family. Their children all face a skydiving induction when they reach their 14th birthdays.
