This is a little old news but I just saw this full video. This dude is crazy... finally caught up to him a bit breaking his legs. He did this run multiple times perfecting his angle until he finally got a little too cocky. He'll be back in no time though doing it all over again.

Apparently he is just starting to attempt to walk again. His twitter is amazingly positive for a guy that has to go through more rehab than anyone else I have read about lately. He says that he "has spent more time in South African hospitals than out of them"...pushing the limits has its price.

I watched a special on this dude he's nuts. He has a goal to build a ramp in vegas that he can jump out of a plane and land on this ramp with no parachute, just glide in and ride down the angle. Kinda like a reverse dirt bike ramp.

Fuuuucccccckkkkkk. That hurt like a sonnofabeyotch, I'll bet. Hate to know what speed he's gliding at
From what I've read, flying speed in a wingsuit is somewhere in the range of 120-130mph.

I saw a post on a basejumping forum that said Jeb is one of about 2 or 3 people in the world that could have survived that. Pretty unbelievable
