Jeb Corliss crashes into Table Mountain while flying with a Wingsuit


Jeb Corliss is one of the best known base jumpers in the world. Some of his previous web videos have garnered thousands of views on Youtube. But, in a sport that pushes the boundaries of safety like this, you are never guaranteed of a safe landing. Yesterday, while filming on Table Mountain, he clipped the edge of a ledge while proximity flying over the mountain. Miraculously he survived, how is a question he will be asking himself for a very long time. When you watch the slow motion replay, try count how many times he flips and then realize how fast he was going when he impacted. I wish Jeff a speedy recovery and hope he will return to what he does best - namely freaking us mere mortals out!
