Hungarian Man Dies In China Wingsuit Jump

A Hungarian man has died while performing a 700m (2,290ft) wingsuit jump in central China.

The body of Victor Kovats was discovered in the Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park in Hunan province on Wednesday, the day after his jump, according to state broadcaster CCTV.

More than 200 rescuers spent the night searching for him.

The extreme sport involves people gliding long distances using a special jump suit.

Reports suggest Kovats, a three-time Hungarian national wingsuit champion, died from head injuries after crashing into a cliff-side.

State media said the death may be related to equipment failure or gusting winds.

In footage of the jump, Kovats is seen suddenly veering off course and disappearing into tree cover.

Kovats was carrying out a practice run ahead of the second World Wingsuit Championship being held in the park this weekend.

The competition's mountainous backdrop was part of the inspiration behind James Cameron's alien landscape in the Hollywood blockbuster film Avatar.
