wingsuit crash

[Roscoe]

Saw it in a post accident interview a while back, I can try and dig it up here in a bit when I am back at a computer....

I've seen many-a Jeb Corliss video and he's never spoken a foul word about Dwain by any stretch, to the best of my knowledge. There was speculation that it was intentional, but those two traveled the world together for quite some time.

On 16 January 2012, in an accident while proximity flying off Table Mountain, Cape Town, South Africa, Jeb broke both ankles, three toes, and a fibula, tore his left ACL, and sustained a gash in his skin that required skin grafts to close. He struck his legs approximately halfway between the hip and knee on a rock ledge he was attempting to skim over while aiming at a target balloon. The impact caused him to tumble forward one revolution before he regained control in order to clear some additional ledges. He then deployed his parachute.

Didn't realize the video was a year old practically.

This is all I could find. It was a lot longer, and he generally actually like he did not give two shits...

sounds like Jeb is pissed they said, "theres not even a close second to what he was" lol

Corliss was following that guy, ended up getting showered in his blood and almost crashed into one of his legs. Man what a terrible way to die.

While i imagine it wasn't fun I couldn't think of a better way to go out than doing something you love. Id take that over a nursing home any day of the week.

I also understand the sentiment, but he was cut in half at the torso by a handrail, pulled his chute and floated down bleeding to death. That sounds pretty terrible.

Agreed! Would have been different if his chute wouldn't deploy and it was just wing suit flying head first to an instant death. To hell with being Ripped in half and bleeding to death while dangling from a parachute...
