When Jeb jumped off of Table Mountain, he sure as hell wasn’t planning to hit one of its outcrops at full speed. Sadly, on the way down his foot clipped a rock whilst he was traveling at 120mph.

As the video shows, despite the collision, he still managed to open his parachute. That alone is how he survived. You are a lucky, lucky man, Jeb. [Jeb Corliss]
