Bonsoir tout le monde j'ai fais un exposé sur Jeb Corliss est ce que quelqu'un pourrait me corriger s'il vous plaît :

Hello everybody today i will present you Jeb Corliss,a renowned extreme sportsman. Before presenting his exploits to you and showing you how extraordinary this man is, may be just like Felix Baumgartner, since he has defied death more than him, I will give you an introduction on the base jumping and the wingsuit jump for those who know only vaguely. Then I'll explain why I chose this character.


First, what is BASE jumping? it is a very extreme sport of jumping from fixed objects between 50 to 1500 meters high, equipped with a parachute and not from aircraft, to clarify the dangerousness of this practice, which does not remain less exciting, sportsmen who jump do not usually have time to find an emergency solution if there is a failure in their parachute .. clashes often occur against mountains or buildings, and, unfortunately, thirty Basic jumpers are killed every year in the world, despite the 10,000 practitioners, who justify in part this number. the base jump would be 10 times more dangerous than the classic parachute jump, That's why you have to do 100 individual parachute jumps at least.


Winged flight is a type of jump made using a combination of soft wing-shaped jumps. The latter is used in extreme sports, especially by paratroopers to reduce their speed of fall by converting it into horizontal speed. It almost always ends with the opening of a parachute. As with BASE jumping, Wingsuit makes emergency procedures more difficult because of the cumbersome combination in the air. The technicality increases greatly because you have to know how to move in the sky, which is why it is recommended to carry out at least 300 to 400 prior jumps in planes.



but there is always more technical and dangerous than these two practices .. it is their combination! And Jeb Corliss is the specialist! The practice of basic jumping accompanied wingsuit suicide is assured for some. indeed hovering over 150 km / h while grazing a few meters trees and mountains is often fatal. Only virtuoso paratroopers keep a chance to stay alive higher than to die. It is essential to control the movement in the air to perfection. this is why according to the association of paralpinism, it is recommended to make at least 200 jumps in cliff, in addition to 300 to 400 preliminary jumps in planes, before launching in wingsuit on fixed objects.



Jeb Corliss was born on March 25, 1976 near Santa Fe, New Mexico. It's probably the best jumper and paratrooper base alive and is the greatest practician of wingsuit flight in history.

Jeb Corliss does not perform any type of basic jumping, since he performs in Wingsuit. he made himself known thanks to spectacular videos seen millions of times on the net. He was noted for his jumps from buildings such as the Eiffel Tower, Space Needle and Petronas Towers. In one of his youtube videos, he goes through the Tianmen Arch, an opening in the cliff of Tianmen Mountain or a fault less than ten meters wide in Mount Jianglang still in China. in another called "Grinding the crack", he is close to balloons positioned at ground level at more than 160 km / h. Hallucinating!

His popularity in his discipline has allowed him to create his brand of clothing "3 triple 7" and become the original host of the series Stunt Junkies, he will be returned after his arrest for trying to jump from the Empire State Building in 2006.But Jeb is far from stopping there and we can say that his courage is indestructible. His temerity is even more so because during his career, he lost his friend Dwain Weston in 2003 who miscalculated the strength of the wind and its distance from the bridge during a jump where they planned together to execute a figure near the Royal Gorge Bridge. He came into violent contact with the latter at an estimated speed of about 160 km / h and died instantly.

In 2012, Jeb injured himself by jumping off Table Mountain in South Africa. According to his friend witness, Jeb Corliss may have made a mistake or be thrown to the mountain by a gust of wind, mainly affected by the legs, but conscious after the accident.

This will not stop him from continuing, Jeb Corliss says to work on a plan to perform a wingsuit flight from a helicopter with a landing without a parachute, we can count on the fingers of the hand those who did.



I chose this man, already because I admire him, what he did is incredible.Secondly because he is brave like me but not only.What Jeb Corliss has achieved is my dream since childhood and even if embracing a cliff, although this does not seem to me impossible given my lack of vertigo and fears in the face of this type of danger, is not what I wish.My real goal since childhood and at least once in my life of Wingsuit. I always dreamed of flying, and I want to feel the closest sensation. That's why Jeb Corliss is my model, and a model for others who would like to go beyond all their fears.
