The stunt was one of the most memorable parts of the London 2012 opening ceremony

Briton Mark Sutton, 42, died during a wing-diving event near Martigny, Switzerland, on Wednesday.

Police said they did not yet know the cause but it is thought Mr Sutton died after crashing into a ridge⁴ of rock.

Mr Sutton doubled for Daniel Craig's James Bond as he and another stuntman playing the Queen memorably⁵ entered the Olympic Stadium from a helicopter.

Wing-divers wear special suits that are designed to allow them to glide⁶（滑翔） through the air at high speeds, before a parachute is opened for landing.

Mr Sutton, a former army officer, is thought to have dived from a helicopter flying at 3,300m intending to land at a village just across the border in France.

But reports say the stuntman hit a ridge of rock, suffering fatal injuries. Rescuers believe Mr Sutton died on impact.

The stuntman had been invited to take part in the three-day wing-diving event with 19 other experienced wing-suit pilots.

The accident happened on the first day of the event, which involved the wing-divers being filmed jumping from helicopters.

Police said a formal identification of the body was under way and an investigation⁷ had been opened.

Gary Connery, the stuntman who played the Queen during the Olympic ceremony, tweeted what appeared to be a grieving message following his friend's death.

He wrote: "All you jumpers/flyers out there, stay safe, make wise choices and know your limits and your locations. Live to tell your stories. One love."
