Did you see where that base jumper hit the ground?

The video posted a couple months ago of the guy in the squirrel suit thing actually hit the ground last month and lived to tell about it. Broke both of his legs and has been in the hospital for the last five weeks. Posted a video of it on YouTube.

Jeb Corliss is his name

Sooner or later he will end up dead....A guy named Weston hit the Royal Gorge Bridge and didn't quite make it...Guess he was flying with Weston when he hit the bridge? Corliss, you would think he would learn...

Ever since the video "Grinding the Gap" was posted here, I became mesmerized with Corliss. The guy has balls the size of watermelons.

Anyway, he clipped the rocks during a jump at South Africa's Table Mountain. The last time he attempted to BASE jump Table Mountain, he got sucked into a waterfall, and broke his back in three places. This was supposed to be his redemption jump. He broke his left leg (in a few spots) and toes on his right foot.

His ultimate goal is to land (using a wing suit) without deploying a chute. He has worked with engineers to develop a canvass landing strip that he wants to place on the Vegas Strip and attempt to land on New Year's Eve (no date has yet to be determined).

Just thought I'd add a little back story.
