Halo — which in this case stands for high altitude low open — is a stunt where a person jumps out of a plane at 25,000 to 35,000 feet and then pull his parachute at the closest he possibly could to the ground without being killed. In Mission: Impossible – Fallout_,_ Tom Cruise can be seen performing the exact stunt.

The makers of Mission: Impossible – Fallout posted a behind the scenes video of the halo jump across their social media account. You can watch the actor’s death-defying move in detail here.

Our stunts keep getting higher in altitude and lower in oxygen.
