I think that if I was diagnosed with a terminal illness, flying in one of those 'squirel' suits would definitely be at the top of my 'bucket' list. By he was close!!!

Good old Jeb Corliss.One craaaaazy man I would have thought he might have put his squirrel suit away after the stunt with his friend Dwain Weston went fatally wrong... Still,if it's his drug he's always going to be chasing the rush.

The word 'rush' comes to mind.

It does make me chuckle that probably billions has been spent improving impact protection and all sorts of various different materials and substances created.
And the stuntman's material of choice is still 'the cardboard box'.

It is an amazing stunt no doubt, but can he really claim to have been the first man to skydive and land without a parachute? I would say he strategically crashed without a parachute and lived. There have been other recorded instances of people living after skydiving and the parachute not working because they crashed into trees or water, which to me is similar to what this guy did techincally. Obviously this guys did it deliberatly and did it with skill, but I'm not sure I'd techincally call it a landing.

Kids stuff, Flt Sgt Nicholas Alkemede did it from 18000 feet in 1944 on his way back from Berlin. There were others around that time too.

We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.
