Many moons ago Jeb Corliss attempted to base jump off the Empire State Building, but was caught just before he could make the leap. This was followed by a legal battle, and a lot of criticism for what could have happened. Many believed he wouldn't have control of his jump, and end up injuring people on the street because of it. Well... the human glider just proved his accuracy ten fold in his latest stunt. Check out this incredible footage of him jumping out of a helicopter and flying through a small hole in the side of a mountain in China. more ›

Is Peter Vallone Jr's favorite daredevil, Jeb Corliss, back at it? While he's facing misdemeanor charges from his 2006 attempt to jump off the Empire State Building (the Daily News notes that he's still fighting to get the charges tossed due to missing evidence), Corliss may already be planning his next move. He told The NY Post that he would "absolutely" take advantage of the new law passed that allows urban stunts like parachuting off buildings with a police permit, and he added, "I love Mayor Bloomberg" (who signed the bill). Back in July Philippe Petit, who walked a highwire between the WTC towers in 1974, told us, "I continue to have in my mind some illegal walks. But we live in a different time now, and suddenly in a big city like New York, if I'm caught by the powers that be at the top of a building ... I would be shot first and asked questions later." more ›

In the wake of a judge dismissing charges daredevil Jeb Corliss for his attempted jump off the Empire State Building, Mayor Bloomberg is very upset.

"If I understand the ruling, just from reading the headlines, the judge said the guy did nothing wrong and should be able to jump off buildings with a single bound or whatever - I don't know where the judge is coming from. Whether it's legal, that's up to the court system to decide. But we do not need people jumping off of tall buildings in New York City - certainly [not] without a permit."
