STUNT: 70-year-old man flies hot-air balloon out of 200-metre deep cave



Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/ODNsubs A 70-year-old Austrian adventurer flies a hot-air balloon in and out of a 200-metre deep cave in southern Croatia. Ivan Trifonov, an experienced balloon pilot and holder of four Guinness records, decided to fly down, touch the cave's bottom and fly out of the cave, in a never before attempt at flying a hot-air balloon underground. Trifonov's flight on September 18 came exactly ten years after fellow Austrian adventurer Felix Baumgartner had pulled off a parachute base jump on the same spot. This historical hot-air balloon flight took about 25 minutes, from the initial take-off on surface, through touching the bottom of the cave, and flying out and landing back on surface.
