Jeb Corlissis a seasoned wingsuit flyer : he ’s jump off the Eiffel Tower , the Space Needle , and even the Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia with just flap of material to keep him aloft . But when he jumped off Table Mountain , he polish off one of its outcrops at full stop number . Somehow , he subsist .
You ’ll have to follow until the end to the see the impact because this is in fact a trailer for an coming HBO documentary film about the entire event . When you get there , you might struggle to consider that Corliss is still alive . He is . Just . Posting on his Facebook wall , he says :
I was going for a black balloon that was fundamentally laying on the rocks and was going to try and kick it with my foot . to do this I had to fell crushed and two-dimensional between boulder . My left-hand foot clipped a boulder that dragged me into a flat ledge that I took at the waist at full speed . If I had not nip that boulder I might have made it , I might have still impacted . It ’s very severe to tell from the footage . Everything happens very tight . But when you go for a flight where inches are the difference between making it and not nominate it well impact is very possible . I jazz this and took the risk and paid the cost for promote way to hard . I take full province for my actions and am just well-chosen I still have legs to do rehab on .
I ’m amazed he still has legs to do rehab on . Get better soon , Jeb ! I ca n’t help marvel , however , if his helmet had something to do with the incident . At 0:20 , we see a blastoff of it and it has so . Many . Cameras . Six , by my counting . Maybe pare that apparatus down next clock time Jeb . [ Jeb Corliss ]
