Jeb Corliss is his name....and he will die if he continues this.  He already had one wreck that broke his legs.  Unreal how fast he is going....and how close to the ground he is while going that fast.

You can only tempt fate so much before it cashes in.

That video is of a fizzling idiot who is already dead and he doesn't know it.  You just don't tempt fate like this and continue to get by.  I had 8 years military experience jumping out of airplanes both static line and freefall. I  saw my share of not so bad and just terrible incidents under very controlled envirement.  The fun just won't last forever for this guy!

One day he will hit a tree, a rock ledge, etc. He is addicted to the adrenaline rush. If he dies doing something he loves, I just hope he does not leave dependents behind that cannot make it. Although I consider what he does as stupid, he has the right.

I totally agree with you 73...as long as he doesn't leave anybody behind missing their husband or dad!

was there to witness it. I'll never forget seeing his strike the iron of the bridge structure going God knows how fast. Needless to say he was dead on impact. I jumped out of airplanes many years ago, but this stuff and BASE jumping are crazy.

I have a severe paranoia when it comes to heights, but that just looks freakin' fun to me. The initial jump would probably make me wet my pants or pass out but the gliding down the canyon...yeah, that would be a blast.
