The American was just a minute or so into his flight when he misjudged his trajectory over one of the many ridges on the South African landmark. He smashed both his legs as he clobbered into the mountainside, but managed to save his life by quickly deploying his emergency parachute to slow his descent onto the rocky terrain below. Corliss is still in hospital, but it hoping to be released later this week: "Mr Corliss needed extensive surgery on his legs and also needed skin grafts to repair the damage," said a hospital spokeswoman. "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." Still, at least he's got his laptop to entertain him in hospital, as he has now posted this latest video to share his excruciating moment with the world. |

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me i didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life.

Missed quite a few of these first time round.
The dining dog and the car crash song guy were brilliant.

That was fake? Couple were. The 2 basketball shots from the other side of the court was an advert with LeBron James, 100% faked. The golf shot was also faked (Like the Tiger Woods 2012 game trailer where he walked/made a shot on water, very similar one). Mostly real though. Absolutely amazing stuff |
