Wingsuit Crash
Stuntman Jeb Corliss has filmed countless of his wingsuit “flights”, but this was his closest call yet. He survived crashing into a cliff at 120mph, but broke both legs and spent several weeks in the hospital.

Thanks for this Video, showing the dangers of this wonderful sport.
I gratulate Jeb Corliss for his surviving and wish him all the best.
But I think, all those Wingsuit-pilots should be aware, that they have some responsibility for the continuance of this discipline. As I found in the internet, basejumping costs a lot of deaths and finds more and more enemies as in Lauterbrunnen, where the population can see many deaths life from the valey. See e.g. the german video:

I like wingsuits because they are the most archaic kind of human flight and I would be sorry, when this sport should be restricted by laws. So please, dear jumpers, take proximity-flying a bit wider and take care, that your sport gets better reputation.

Doesn't seem that fast till you see it from the ground. Lucky.

I still think he handled it great. He tumbled and tried to fly on, and when nothing could be done he tried to open the 'chute.
Things would have gone otherwise if he lost his conscience though...

1. The music.
2. The repetition.
