If you are afraid of heights, then you may want to look away now, because these daredevils are jumping from dazzling heights in a wingsuit flying trial in China's Yunnan Province.

More than 50 daredevils from 20 countries, including the United States, Germany and South Africa, participated in the trial flight.

They jumped off a mountain-top platform at an altitude of some 2,800 meters.

The trial is to get the teams familiar with the flight route and the geographic features of the site. The actual contest will be held from September 25 to 27.
