Jeb Corliss Crash Video During Table Mountain Jump Prompts Possible Charges

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – The Jeb Corliss crash video on Table Mountain is prompting fines for the base jumper and possible charges. Jeb Corliss recorded video tape of his jump from Cape Town’s Table Mountain. But South African officials confirm to news that Corliss jumped despite their denial of his permit to do so. In the crash, Jeb Corliss suffered two broken legs.
Jeb Corliss tells news that his spirits are good and he is resting well. But park officials also tell news that may prosecute Corliss for jumping without a permit. Jeb Corliss hit a ledge during the jump, flipping on the way down.
The 35 year old had to be airlifted to a local hospital. Once in the hospital, Corliss sent a message to friends. He said “I feel better than I’ve ever felt.” Another jumper on the scene told local news what went wrong. Joby Ogwyn indicated to the Cape Times that “It could have been a strange gust of wind, it could have been that he got too close to the mountain.”
Jeb Corliss previously made news for being banned from the New York’s Empire State Building. He’s also jumped from the Eiffel Tower and the Petronas Towers.
Corliss has applied for a permit before jumping from Table Mountain. The permit was denied. Now officials tell news they may press charges. “The danger associated with base jumping does not allow us to issue permits. He did not have permission. We will definitely fine him and possibly press charges,” spokeswoman Merle Collins said in a news statement today. The video is located HERE.

Jeff flew a little low, smacking his legs. If you’ve seen his other videos, it was bound to happen sometime, and to such a nice guy.
