Wingsuit one-upmanship just got taken up a notch.

While we've seen people fly through caves, jump off hot air balloons and soar over New York city in the suits, few have been this daring.

Chilean wingsuit pilot Sebastian Alvarez placed two people holding his national flag on top of an extinct volcano in Santiago de Chile, set his compass to kamikaze, and blasted through it. The slightest error could have been fatal but he managed to pull off the feat, to cheers from his colleagues.

Watching from a distance is hair-raising enough.
