BASE Jumper Jeb Corliss Flies In Switzerland

Tearing towards a gap in the trees the width of a football goal, white-knuckle adventurer Jeb Corliss is literally flying through the air. Soaring at more than 90mph just five feet above the ground, Jeb, 34, completed his death defying flight using only a wing suit to guide his movements through the air. BASE-jumping from a secret location in Switzerland on August 10, 2010, Jeb's latest extreme exhibition of skill and daring began from the precipice of a cliff 5,500 feet up. Jumping off the cliff edge, Jeb used his 11 years experience in wing suit flying to descend towards what he called 'the crack' in the cliff and trees at a rate of descent of 2.5 feet to one.

@epifawno no, the angle would be too steep, and it would be hard to guide your movements

Brilliant, excellent superb, the stuff of dreams.

The man wears huge underpants....he needs them for his huge balls of steel.
