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:
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.
