  • Why not instead of using the slide he just land in a large pool with lots of gas bubbling around in it surely this would absorb more energy than just water alone and could work

  • @mattread1000 water you kill you at such speeds

  • ON THEIR FACE!

  • this project like many other projects seems like yet another poor excuse to run away from the responsibilities of this life (reality)

  • @nonchalant1985 really? I think this is his life in reality. What do you think he should be doing? raising kids, mowing the lawn?

  • @CrimelabS 'raising kids' 'mowing lawn' you go directly for the mundane and it should not necessarily be perceived as mundane. I think the flaw in all this is people's beliefs are a misconception. 'you only live once' but not really we live forever. Though the proof is in the pudding we see who goes in next. Seeking glory, but who knows of lasting glory?

  • @nonchalant1985 I didn't say anything about those task being mundane. I even found raising kids overwhelmingly difficult. I don't even think this guy is even after "glory" it is the people who likes this activity or amazed with his rare skills that gives it to him. If you seek ways to perfect your skills it does not necessarily means you seek glory from others but mainly because you are driven to improve imperfection.

  • good luck with reaching your goal Jeb. i have faith in you. break a leg!

  • This dude sounds like major league douche

  • @RayThrushwood the reason he sounds like that is because you can discern he is forceful, forceful in seeking out his own glory. Whoever tries this will find no glory.

  • People who say, "it can't be done", should get out of the way of those who are doing it

  • Comment removed

  • I guess the first person to land with a wing suit would be a person with a parachute malfunction!!

  • Mucho nutsacko

  • I used to land without a chute. Than I took an arrow to the knee.

  • It's easy to land a wingsuit. The hard part is doing it again.

  • call up red bull im sure they would sponsor something like this

  • One day, we will jump into tornados with a wingsuit, then land on a halfpipe....AND DO IT AGAIN!

  • I'm curious if he still lives, knowing that alot wingsuit jumpers died this summer

  • Ha ha ha nick your a fag you obviously know nothing of the sport

  • this guy sounds like such a douche

  • Strap a skate board to your chest :D

  • I've always wanted to fly when i was a kid...do u know anyone who can help me? PLLEEEASE :) lol

  • @xxxEMINENTxxx ur local skydiving club is a good way to start

  • @loccnut ok thanx :)

  • When is he going to jump? Or has he done it already?

  • can't wait to watch him try

  • but who was camera?

  • Jeb is the fuckin man. He's got a Thor Hammer and a Captain America Shield so don't talk shit.

  • I never knew Matt Damon was a base jumper, cool.

  • Hey its that guy!

  • If a quasi-black man is in the White House, Jeb can land without a parachute, I'm sure. So where's the money? Come on Red Bull....step up to the plate. Red Bull's got wings...sometimes.

  • If anyone can accomplish this FIRST.... Jeb is the man.

  • hmm... i doubt this very much k9feces. im not trying to be rude im just saying, i dont believe you...and no sign of a video yet....

  • are there any rules in the design of the wingsuit, or could you incorporate some wing like blades on your forearms that increase lift and manoeuverability? For example you're not wearing gloves, so.. design some gloves that have a rigid blade you can control in the palms of your hand. Use of a windtunnel to see where you are generating drag. It's going to take a lot of science to figure out how to do this

  • his shirt is so appropriate

  • If you combine wingsuite landing with buggy rollin you can do it.

  • I had no idea that people had trouble landing these without parachutes, I will post a video of me landing one when I get the chance.

  • @k9feces ......huh? YOU HAVE NEVER LANDED A WINGSUIT WITHOUT A PARACHUTE!!!!

  • @k9feces lol

  • @k9feces hows that coming?

    

  • @CouchPotatoe97 been reallly busy lately will post a vid soon

  • @k9feces lol who's gonna post the video of your death?? 

  • That's KL Tower in Malaysia not Seattle's Space Needle

  • I want to like this guy, but he comes off as a complete douche.

  • so landing at around 120 miles an hour is gonna take a heck of a swoop and serious control....hope he does it someday, who knows how many goes at it anyone will get as it doesn't sound at all safe.... amazing

  • ask batman for advise.

  • Yo Jeb I'm really happy for you and Imma let you finish this wingsuit landing deal but batman is the best wingsuit pilot of all time

  • @merv0 Jeb secretly IS batman lol

  • So many fucking armchair experts.

  • My idea of the runway: It would have to have a large entrance so he can aim for it easily and it should be curved upwards so the impact is completely absorbed by the material, not the friction. Kind of like what happened in Rush Hour 2 or 3, when Jackie Chan used that long piece of material to slow the fall of Chris Tucker, allowing him to slide to safety...

  • Comment removed

  • I dreamt runway would be a long ass air mattress with soap and water like slip n slide.. Wanted to see if it could be done, youtubed it and found out jeb is doing this project.. Wow

  • In order to land that thing, you are going to need a much better glide angle. You also need to have control over your downward velocity, this would mean being able to "swoop" like a bird.

  • How have they not solved this yet? Disconnect the part between the legs and use a metal frame to keep the tail rigid. The wider it is, the more control you'll have.

    For landing, flare up 90 degrees with your feet out front. Viola! Just like a bird.

  • the average motorcycle racing suit can withstand sliding on asphalt at up 200mph and protect its rider from any injury. So all he has to do is combine that technology with his flying suit and land on a regualr airplane runway. Your welcom

  • Inflated bottom body to his suit would be much more cost effective, and for now landing on a body of water would be much easier. Less critical calculation, less prone to aproach area error. Its actually very tough to line up your decent to a guied line, and lots of things can go wrong trying to line up on target, too, short, too far, wrong angle, wrong speed, wrong pitch etc. It dosnt take much. Example, a thermal updraft could throw off his aproach, but he has no power to correct.

  • I know how it can be done. An inflated pontoon on the belly, landing in watter. It may not even have to be that big, and if shaped right, may even reduce his stall speed and lend itself to better flight charicteristics and ease of his glide ratio. I dont, know though, Im no jumper but I like to design model airplanes. That being said, I think that if he was sure to stalbize his neck to his shoulders, a landing is possible.

  • attach a bigass pillow to ur belly and land on that

  • If that shit was real, the army would be using it. FAKE and he is a douchbeag.

  • So, what about the friction between him and the runway? I wonder if they are developing a kevlar chest/knee shield.

  • @sharbian Don't think kevlar would help the heat buildup from that friction... the amount of energy that a person traveling at 110mph would generate sliding along the ground would be astronomical.

  • a ski jumping ramp and no 2 mil is ....

  • should try it into water 1st, might get a second chance if you fail

  • he tried and died :( R.I.P. buddy

  • @jamalak74u really?

  • lol hes got 1 chance to get it right...

  • Comment removed

  • 1:50 "seeya guys" lol

  • ON THEIR FACE!

  • @JSCincorporated LMAO This is Madness. ON THIER FACE THOUGH! 

  • great stuff...

  • "This will be the first time someone has landed on their face after reaching terminal velocity"

    1. That's not an achievment thats a death sentence.

    2. Lots of people have done that - they're now dead.

  • so when he was 16 his parents funded an 8 month long shark diving trip and then he saw basejumping and he started doing that... if we could all just go sharkdiving and skydiving when we were 16 i bet there would be alot more jebs

    am i jelous? ofcourse

  • Well, he never did it. This video implies that he will do it, but I watched the whold fucking thing and he never did the landing . . . just talked about it.

    Just don't do it man . . . life is beautiful.

  • This guys friends have died he has jumped with people who have also died on the jump I dont understand why he would want to try and land without using anything

  • I understand the desire to be first to do a wing-suit landing, but wouldn't it be quicker, cheaper, and safer (well, as safe as something like this could be), if everyone trying to achieve this human first collaborates on the engineering and funding?

    Having said that, watching Jeb wing-suit fly is amazing. Fly on...

  • you kinda have to be cocky to match the sack that it takes to do this stuff

  • 3 years later and it still hasn't happened? we're sill wailting jeb

  • This guy pussyed out by the way, hes not going to do it anymore

  • Why not land in a giant wind tunnel and have a net catch you?

  • heres my idea: u tie a skateboard to ur chest and make a really big ramp.. the rest is pretty straight forward

  • Excellent !!

  • this guys badass

  • Can anyone here provide contact information for the groups working on wingsuit landing projects? I'm a scientist and have a simpler idea that is much easier and cheaper to construct than the huge 2-million dollar LV landing ramp currently envisioned. What I have in mind should be roughly 100 times cheaper. BTW, this has nothing to do with water landing like the idea I mentioned previously.

  • why hasn't any one thought of roller skates . so simple .

  • Jeb is a spoiled brat

  • forget this top secret crap everybody put your idea's together and make it happen

  • if only I could grow up rich

  • How about a "cheat" for an intermediate timeframe. I used to cliff dive (mostly from dams though) from up to 210 feet. To switch from semi-horizontal angle of attack to a [near] vertical dive should be feasible during the last 3~5 seconds.

    I understand the best sites in Switzerland and Norway are impractical, because you might freeze to death before you were recovered. Nonetheless, why has nobody done this before?

  • You know, those speedskiers travel at at least the same speed. And they fall frequently without even injuring themselves, so I'd land in a speedskier slope. : )

  • You would not be able to land on water due the surface tension ripping you apart at near terminal velocity but theoretically, you could flare like a fixed wing aircraft does which slows your momentum and causes lift and dependent on how high you are at stall, you could fall down into the water but it's all about reducing speed and this is the problem faced wether it be with airplanes or wingsuits, you need to slow down.

  • dude,i am totally behind you on this,love what your doin,i hope you get the funding for your runway,i will keep watching all your videos.

  • This guy would be cool if he weren't such a cocky jerk.

  • @CoChicken1337 if he wasnt a cocky shit he would be dead...

  • @bennycasson

    Where the hell did you get that idea?

  • @CoChicken1337 a lot of the stuff he does you have to go for it 100%

    if you flinch, ull fuck it up.

  • @bennycasson

    That has nothing to do with being a prick you moron. God damn you are stupid.

  • @CoChicken1337 wow, name calling, good way to make ur point about other people being a prick.

    secondly, of course being a prick has to do with confidence, it leads to arrogance and arrogance leads to being a prick.

  • @bennycasson

    Only if you're a douchebag. I know plenty of people who are confident without being arrogant. You really need to stop riding this guy's dick.

  • @CoChicken1337 you know what mate, you have fun insulting people and picking fights on youtube, i have no desire to be a part that kind of thing.

  • @bennycasson

    Thanks. I will.

  • @CoChicken1337 y ya say that?

  • @tatazike

    Because cocky jerks aren't cool. How can you not figure this out?

  • @CoChicken1337 lol cocky jerk or not he's a crazy motherfucker.. that's 4 sure!

  • @CoChicken1337 but yh I kinda agree with ya, he's weird

  • @CoChicken1337 Why you say that?

  • @CoChicken1337 it's called self confidence.

    you would be cool if you weren't so insecure.

  • @bovinicusdivinicus

    People can be self-confident without being a cocky douche. What don't you get about that? Also, why are you trying to make this a personal matter? You do not know me and never will. Go away, child.

  • @CoChicken1337

    you called him a cocky jerk.. that's kinda personal. so.. childish as it it sounds.. you started it.

    then again. as i continue to read your responses to this video i realize that you are just , again... preaching to the choir.. your acting more of a child than i did when i WAS a child.. im done with you.. thanks for playing .. you fail.. bu-bye now.

  • @CoChicken1337

    perhaps you should go cry to mommy, because crying at me just makes me laugh.

  • @bovinicusdivinicus

    You're not a very good troll. Try harder.

  • @CoChicken1337

    not trying to troll... if i was i would be mush ruder, much more stupid.. and wouldnt be logical about it.

    read the rest of the responses to your comments.. you seem to be the minority here.

  • @CoChicken1337 He did not seem cocky or jerkish at all...

  • @CoChicken1337 Dude jumps out of fucking airplanes he can be as cocky as he wants.

  • @CoChicken1337 I think he's deserved bragging rights

  • @CoChicken1337 Jeb is cool. I don't know what you're talking about. If he were "normal," would he be able to do these incredible feats?

  • @CoChicken1337 hes not a jerk, hes a guy who pushes him self. something 99% of the humans cant.

  • @CoChicken1337 I think to take on that kind of stunt you NEED to be very self assured; cocky. I don't really see the "jerk" side.

  • @CoChicken1337 what makes you think hes so cocky? hes not cocky at all. being cocky is what gets you killed in base jumping, wingsuiting, and skydiving and he hasnt died yet has he?

  • @CoChicken1337 well, if cocky is what it takes for someone to try it, i could not judge them until i'm standing on the cliff they once stood and see how i feel about jumping after all.

  • why not have a parachute open at all times. a paracute maybe 5 times smaller than ordinary ones that makes you glide at slower safer speed instead of fly at the speed this guys do. maybe human flying will become widely accepted in the future.

  • Has This been done yet? i dont see his name on the fatality list so guess not . Please dont try this jeb lol

  • Comment removed

  • @stigg46 this cracks me up

  • @stigg46 The point is to land without a chute. They'll get there eventually.

  • its so possible. RIGHT ON! when others say quit, keep on pushing.

  • just build an enormous slide.

  • I know a way to land a wing suit that only costs 1500 bucks. Its called a parachute.

  • 3:40 ..."and landed, on their FACE..."?

    Dude. I'd rethink that one.

  • Next he will be stopping speeding bullets with his teeth; Good luck with that.

  • I would add an air foil to the wingsuit to add more surface area. Or land in a huge pile of cool whip.

  • what about landing on the water ?

    I think if you can recuce your speed you can safelly land in the water

    (noob talking)

  • I dont think its possible without a special runway.

    The point is: even if youre abel to turn your vertical speed to zero and only have horizotal its still deadly. Imagine that if you hit the ground with a very flat curve you are still around 100+ miles fast (horizontal) which is extremely dangerous.

    A human has not the massive strength that a bird has (compared to its weight) and has no chance to slow down using the wingsuit.

    Skijumpers are too 80 miles+ fast and have to land on a slope.

  • hehe just my two cents and I may be way off but that's how I see it being done. GOOD LUCK IN YOUR SEARCH!

  • Maybe have actuators that can open/close these pockets as needed.Then all you need is those gates from redbull aircraft racing as a practice platform. Using a hd camera to study the speeds and angles necessary during practice jumps you end up better understanding how to adjust the pockets.

  • 2 mil for a runway is not practical. Imo you should keep searching for a way to do it on any type of surface. The suit flies like a flying squirrel but any type of bird lands at those angles by altering it's attitude and wing position to increase resistance at the last second then touching down with both feet and using leg muscles to absorb what little energy is left. Perhaps some kind of material that can flex be released inside the webbing to accomplish this.

  • i think at first the landing must be tried on falling water. and maybe the expensive runway is about that!

    any updates yet ?

  • 1. Get i HUGE SPONGE type thing, land in it

    2. Attach a spike to your helmet, and dive into water at a blunt angle.

  • its easy.. think happy thoughts dumb ass.

  • A ski jumper could land one now, just hard to have those skis on in FF.

  • didn't know that was corliss that got pinched at the empire. sucks for him

  • any update on this ?

  • I'm sure you already know that part as birds do it all the time. But I think the difference between a bird and you is your wingsuit isn't efficient enough to grasp the wind and actually propel you in the exact direction you want more 90% of the time. You need to stay fast until the very last second (not deploy your wingsuit and slow yourself down as soon as you jump or halfway down).

  • I think you have a problem with the efficiency of your wingsuit. From what I see at 2:14, your legs are bent turning your body partially aerodynamic. That being said, your still going to have vertical speed which you won't want when landing.

    I think in order for you to land, you will have to go in an arc; speed towards the earth as fast as you can (ya if you fu*k up, your dead), but at the last min and assuming your wingsuit is efficient enough to catch the air, go skywards.

  • i was thinking about landing onto a really huge low density sponge 

  • surely the wings need to be bigger and more importantly, has to be able to create lift. maybe some lightweight inflatable ribs to create a laminar flow.

  • I don't think he'll be the first, in fact i think he'll never do that, he's the king of communication like his freinds from NASA, selling things before doing them. The first reason is that he jump nicely but he flies like a constipated frog. Many wingsuiters over the world have much more talent and technic than him to tempt a wingsuite landing (in powdery snow i guess).

  • Hmm.

    3 to 1 glide ratio is not enough,you need more surface area.

    More like a bat,not like a squirrel.

    Look at the way their wings bend,

    like a hinge.

    More surface area and you could land all over the place,especially with a snowboard.

    Just to practice,of course.

    Why land on your face if you don't have to?

  • why not try a hard metal slide plate on the back and a soft soil runway(like potting soil soft) and when you near landing flip onto your back and use the skid plat to skim across the soil to a complete stop

  • One does not simply walk into Mordor.

  • Once this is done, we are one step closer to flying

  • the tower at 1:35 is not in seattle.. it's in kuala lumpur Malaysia

  • hes at perris skydive in california!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • eh why not land of a down hill ski run - screw jeb needing a 2 million dollar runway - thats ridiculous

  • damn...

    i was thinking to do same :)

  • Dude , your balls outgun your dick !!!

  • This guy, my new hero..

    Controlling fear, amazing.

  • landing on a built runway is kind of like cheating. i would like to see some sort of reverse thrusters that will slow him down for the landing. that would be more in keeping with the spirit of the stunt.

  • I mean once this is done then they are going to be like well how can I get up there to come down. Iono same thing with planes. First it was gliders now it's jets. Who knows, this guy could make some crazy stuff.

  • "This will be the first time that a human being has reached terminal velocity...and landed...ON THEIR FACE...at over 110 mph and gotten up and done it again...you know that's a very special thing." Hahahahahahahaha I love this guy not only is he a comedian but he has DRIVE. That would be dope if he did that, but What the hell do I want to try landing without a parachute for. If he needs to make up something, it should be to ascend and not descend. Now that would be the shizznit.

  • I'd start feeling invulnerable after a while and then it would get me killed. On the other hand, the same can happen with my motor bike or even with my car.

  • I put forward to 3:08 and thought that was it...hahahaha

  • The runway is going to be at an extreme angle rather than flat. Thats where the slowing down part comes into play. He'll glide down to the surface of the runway and slide down it causing friction and stopping himself. However, he as to do it head first sooo. Helmet.
