Title: Human flying squirrel....if you have not seen it..... Post by: Hollerboy on February 08, 2013, 05:15:35 EST 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYMkn07wPso&feature=player_detailpage Title: Re: Human flying squirrel....if you have not seen it.....

Title: Re: Human flying squirrel....if you have not seen it..... Post by: LouisVOL on February 08, 2013, 11:20:58 EST I watched the crash video also, this is what crazy looks like.
Title: Re: Human flying squirrel....if you have not seen it..... Post by: RIPLEYVOL on February 09, 2013, 12:00:30 EST 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!
Title: Re: Human flying squirrel....if you have not seen it..... Post by: Hollerboy on February 09, 2013, 01:17:48 EST He was on Letterman after the crash and was asked if he would quit....he said he would die diong it....a wnd he will. Just one little gust of wind and bye bye.
Title: Re: Human flying squirrel....if you have not seen it..... Post by: 73Volgrad on February 09, 2013, 03:27:22 EST 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.
Title: Re: Human flying squirrel....if you have not seen it..... Post by: RIPLEYVOL on February 09, 2013, 05:39:07 EST I totally agree with you 73...as long as he doesn't leave anybody behind missing their husband or dad!
Title: A few years ago one of his buddies hit a bridge while flying and Jeb............ Post by: PanhandleVol on February 10, 2013, 12:03:19 EST 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.

Post by: Creek Walker on February 10, 2013, 02:53:03 EST 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.
