Jeb Corliss is the premiere BASE jumper in the world. At 36, years of age, Jeb has been skydiving since 18 years of age and finally got certified as a BASE jumper at 22.
He’s jumped from the Eiffel Tower, the Space Needle and the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur. He even tried to jump from the Empire State Building but was arrested and detained when he attempted it.
No stranger to the dangers of BASE jumping, Jeb has witnessed or been a part of 3 different accidents including one where his jump partner Dwain Weston impacted a bridge and immediately disintegrated due to the force of collision. Luckily, all of Jeb’s yet have not been fatal and he continues to entertain, thrill and amaze us with his death-defying antics.
