Wingsuit Madness

March 17th, 2008 Wade

You may have seen the wingsuit video over on Epic Weather. But if you don’t subscribe to Outside Magazine you may not have seen that a wingsuit pilot is prepping for possibly the craziest stunt ever performed.

Jeb Corliss (Former “Stunt Junkies” host at Discovery) is going to attempt to jump from a helicopter 2,000 feet up, glide with a wingsuit at over 100 mph, and land in a tube. You can read more about the story over at the Outside site. The diagram below shows the plan.

This stunt is sure to end in instant fame or instant death. I’ll be wearing my adult diaper while watching this one.

We spoke with Jeff, and he’s certain he can pull this thing off. The real question remains: is his coverage iMULTISPORT-Certified?
