A base jumper who almost died after crashing into a cliff during a botched leap from Table Mountain in South Africa today posted incredible footage of the accident on his website.
American daredevil Jeb Corliss, 35, broke both of his legs and was airlifted to hospital following the horrific 120mph smash last month in Cape Town.
The world famous stunt artist was being filmed for a television documentary when he careered into a rock face after leaping from the famous landmark wearing only a winged flying suit.
The stunt man, who has spent more than five weeks in hospital since the January 16 accident, today posted a chilling video of the smash on the internet.
The incredible video lasts almost three minutes and is entitled Table Mountain Crash All Angles.
It starts with a black screen containing a warning message 'May be disturbing for some viewers', before showing Corliss fearlessly starting his stunt.
The video, which can be seen on YouTube, shows the daredevil leaping from the flat surface of the mountain and soaring towards the sea.
But seconds later the accident can be clearly seen as his legs smash into a rock face, sending him spiralling towards the ground.
The horrifying moment of impact is repeated several times from multiple angles during the video, which is played out over upbeat rock music.
Michelle Norris, spokeswoman for the Christiaan Barnaard Hospital in Cape Town, today said he remained there under observation and was due to be discharged on Friday.
She said: 'Mr Corliss needed extensive surgery on his legs and also needed skin grafts to repair the damage. He suffered serious and injuries and remains in the hospital, although he has been making good progress in recovery.
'One of the reasons he is still with us is that we needed to check how the wounds would heal from the skin grafts, but we hope to be able to discharge him on Friday. After that he plans to return home immediately to America to be with his family.'
Corliss' video record of the incident concludes by offering thanks to those who helped rescue him following the smash.
