This lad must have a sore back from carrying around his massive balls of steel all day long…

Alexander Polli is a professional wingsuit and BASE jump specialist and he recently completed one of the scariest wingsuit jumps you’ll ever see.

The jump took place at the Roca Foradada Mountains in Montserrat, Spain, and Alexander reached speeds of up to 250km/h as he went through the tiny mountain cave nicknamed ‘The Bat Cave’. Check it out below…

Here’s what it says on YouTube: “Winguit / BASE-jump athlete Alexander Polli does the never before done – a tactical flight through a narrow cave on a rugged mountainside.

“The flight starts with a jump from a hovering helicopter, Alexander reaches speeds of 250 km/h (155 mph) while following a precise trajectory leading to the cave opening, he then fully commits and flies directly through the narrow opening of the “Batman Cave!”

“Shot in full HD, this extraordinary flight exceeds the level of commitment most fliers would ever consider – there can be no attempting, the only option is success!

“The narrow cave, no wider than Alexander is tall, is located in Roca Foradada Mountains in Montserrat, Spain – a location that has inspired this professional Italian Norwegian athlete’s flying dream his whole life.

“Alexander hopes his success will inspire others not only to ‘climb over their mountains,’ but to also fly right through them!”

Now, as they say, if it’s too good to be true it probably is, but we’ll give Alexander the benefit of the doubt… for now. So fair play Alexander, you crazy b*stard.
