This 25-year-old Swedish daredevil claims he broke two Guinness World Records for wingsuit piloting in a single day
Anton"Squeezer" Andersson, the daredevil who in 2017 became the youngest wingsuit pilot to fly through a solid target at 250km/h , has been back on the record-breaking trail.
The 25-year-old, from Skövde in the south of Sweden, attempted two new record-breaking jumps in July: the longest distance wingsuit flight from a cliff, and the smallest target hit from a BASE jump.Andersson's double achievement involved two grueling climbs, the first beginning in complete darkness in the early hours of the morning.

He describes the descent, and being lowered down by his colleague, as one of the scariest moments of his life."It's this incredibly deep, deep feeling of fear," he explains.

"To control the fear, I always have to go into the same 'jumping mode,'" he added."It's a ritual, a technique that I do before jumping off, I'm taking deep breaths and getting my body fully connected to what I'm going to do.
