WOW thats all I have to say. I saw another vid some time ago they had these guys flying through a hole in a mountain... I think it was in china... Crazy sh1t! 8-)

About a minute into it, I realized I had both of my hands over my mouth with my eyes wide open . . . then I laughed. That looks exhilarating! He looks like a flying squirrel or a sugar glider. Wow.

**Marat** · 10-17-2011, 11:48 PM

Here is one that went BAD.

**hoarrimilsora** · 10-17-2011, 11:55 PM

The guy with the balloons at 1:44 is trying to get them both killed I guess....

**hoarrimilsora** · 10-17-2011, 11:57 PM

Sui, that is the kind of shit that will happen if you get into this stuff.

As amazing as it is (to fly), when things go wrong, there is no recovery.

**toreesi** · 10-18-2011, 12:08 AM

That really was insane....

That dood has a death wish... and eventually- he'll get his wish.

Right there on the thin edge for sure.

I've parachuted out of an air plane before, and I thought that was sick,
but this is a whole nother experience. That balloon shot from the ground was awesome.

**hoarrimilsora** · 10-18-2011, 12:11 PM

The most amazing thing about watching these guys in their flying suits is that while you are watching their helmet cameras, they seem to be moving so slow, but when you see them from the ground, they are just SCREAMING by at the speed of light!!

**quack!** · 10-18-2011, 07:24 PM

I am sure that he is a pretty laid back decaf kind of guy.

I mean hell if you do that for fun, it would be pretty hard to get excited over being stuck in traffic.

Must feel like superman to fly like that.

Guess there's a weight restriction on those things?

Jump that went wrong
Avery Carpenter
THE internationally-renowned base jumper who crashed on Table Mountain, suffering severe leg injuries, could now face charges for attempting the illegal jump.
American Jeb Corliss, 35 – who is in intensive care in a city hospital – has gained an international reputation for completing more than 1 000 successful base jumps around the world.

Base jumpers freefall until, just before landing, they open their parachute.
Base is an acronym for the surfaces from which one can jump: building, antenna, span (bridge), and earth.

Corliss has jumped off far-flung locations such as the Eiffel Tower, Golden Gate Bridge, Angel Falls in Venezuela, the Petronas Towers in Malaysia and into a cave in Tianmen Mountain in China.

He has also been known to push both physical and legal boundaries – an attempted jump off the Empire State Building in New York resulted in his arrest after he failed to get the necessary permission.

But yesterday, when attempting the feat off Table Mountain, he clipped a rock, tumbling 60m into Contour Path.

Corliss had been jumping with fellow American adventurer, Joby Ogwyn – the youngest person to climb Mount Everest at the age of 24. The men had previously completed the Table Mountain jump last week for a television special on American network HBO.

Speaking from his hospital bed in ICU at Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital, Corliss relayed a spirited message through the hospital’s marketing officer, Michelle Norris. “I feel better than I’ve ever felt,” he quipped. Story @ Cape Times
