Test flying of wing-suit aims to revolutionize skydiving—assessing the possibility to land safely without a parachute

 

WHAT: - Professional B.A.S.E. jumper Jeb Corliss, will jump from a helicopter—test flying his wing-suit Superman-style in a 3-day stint to prepare for his first-ever world record landing attempt. Test piloting of the wing-suit is critical as no one has ever survived a landing attempt minus a parachute. Come watch Jeb push the envelope—exploring, showcasing the evolution of the sport of skydiving.

 

WHEN:

  • Tuesday, November 9th - through Thursday, November 11th   9:00am – 4:30pm
  • Test piloting and aerial performances, plus interviews with Jeb and Luigi!

 

WHERE:

Perris Valley Skydiving Center

2091 Goetz Rd.

Perris, CA 92570

 

HOW: Outfitted in a high-tech nylon wing-suit designed with inflatable fabric wing surfaces Jeb’s  "wings" will allow him to fly across the sky for several miles—freefalling three times as long as a normal skydiver. Jeb Corliss will be working closely with Go Fast!® -sponsored test pilot Luigi Cani who successfully landed the world’s smallest and fastest parachute last July.  With Luigi at the controls, the bed sheet sized VX-39 parachute has the performance to fly with Jeb in free fall at speeds in excess of 100 mph! Jeb and Luigi’s team-up is necessary to gauge the speed at which the wing-suit could potentially be landed without a parachute.

 

EDITORS: B-roll and helmet-camera footage will be available.
