Jumper plummeted 200ft and broke both legs

A base jumper who almost died after crashing into a cliff during a botched leap from Table Mountain in South Africa today posted incredible footage of the accident on his website.

American daredevil Jeb Corliss, 35, broke both of his legs and was airlifted to hospital following the horrific 120mph smash last month in Cape Town.

The world famous stunt artist was being filmed for a television documentary when he careered into a rock face after leaping from the famous landmark wearing only a winged flying suit.

    Those pushing the limits, to find the limits, ultimately make things safer for others and should be admired and respected.

    Care factor zero. Sympathy... zero.

    Why would anyone want to watch 'the horrifying moment'?

    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving is not for you.

    I wonder how much this guy pays for his health, travel and disability insurance?
