Jeb Corliss, the daring wingsuit man whose exploits have entranced fans everywhere, has survived a terrible crash flying off Table Mountain in Capetown South Africa.. Corliss bounced off rocks as he rocketed along at 120 miles an hours. He broke both legs and had numerous other injuries. He is in stable condition following the January 16, 2012 crash. Undaunted, Corliss insists he will fly again. “That’s what I live for,” Corliss told Dan Harris of ABC News from his hosptial room. The daredevil has released the video (may upset some) from his ill-fated ride. It shows Corliss taking off in one of his specially designed wing-suits and zipping down the mountain before misjudging the size of the mountain’s ledge, slamming his lower body into the rocks and then spiraling into the air and crashing into bushes. His successful run in China is seen in video (here). It’s a dramatic feat that has thrilled hundreds of readers of the South Bayview Bulldog. He “threads the needle” of Tianmen Mountain in China. Picture above shows (top) Corliss through a helmet camera on a gooseneck as he speeds through the sky. Lower right, the “needle’s eye” as Corliss barrels towards it.
