Wing suit fliying/racing video

I watched it - thanks for posting it. Sorry to hear one of the competitors died, but it does not surprise me.

This video is a couple of years old, but it is absolutely insane: Jeb Corliss " Grinding The Crack"

Edit: here's a short video of Jeb Corliss where he hits the edge of a mountain. The video is brief and only shows the impact. I read that he had "shattered" his legs.

Here's a snapshot from Wikipedia regarding the crash and injuries

"On January 16, 2012, in an accident while proximity flying off Table Mountain, Cape Town, South Africa, Corliss broke both ankles, three toes, and a fibula, tore his left Anterior cruciate ligament, 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. He was airlifted out by the Red Cross Air Mercy Service. He has recovered, and plans to return to life as usual. A video of the accident has been released.[12][13]"
