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!

Base Jumping Progression with GoPro
What amazes me more than the actual madness of what these guys do, is that every year it seems to get more and more popular. At one point in this video there are literally a pack of jumpers going off the same cliff. It seems Norway has decided to make Base Jumping part of their tourism drive and they are making it super accessible for all jumpers. Pretty crazy I have to say. Great video for the guys at GoPro...
Shot 100% on the new HD HERO2® camera from http://GoPro.com.
