Last week, a team of skydivers pulled off a stunt that has never been done before - Fly over the Austrian Alps at an altitude of 13,000 feet, alongside two engine-less gliders.

The five wingsuit divers who are part of the Red Bull Skydive team were led by their leader Paul Steiner, who guided them so close to the planes that they were able to make eye contact with the pilots.

Following the historical flight, the daredevils agreed that while scary at times, it had been one of the best experiences of their lives.

                  That is just crazy and scary at the same time. I would never do that if some one dared me to do it at all. My mom and dad would say you could die that way. I would be very scared.
