Looks like he got off lightly considering.... two broken legs and intensive care!

His jumps are so breath takingly close to the edge it give me clammy palms just watching...the margin for error is minuscule

"The danger associated with base jumping does not allow us to issue permits. He did not have permission. We will definitely fine him and possibly press charges."

Just what he'll want to hear, I'm sure!!

I challenge anyone who hero-worships this guy to google 'BASE fatality list'.

Be prepared for a lengthy and saddening read when you do

I assume you are referring to the documentary he took part in a few years back. I agree he didn't come across at all well in that, but its years on and he's doing the same thing, just ten times more amazing things that, in my eyes, earns him genuine daredevil status.

For example.

In my opinion, the world would be poorer without people like Jeb and I wish him a speedy recovery.

No doubt about it. Helmet can footage will cover that no problem.

It would cover his lifelong medical and personal care needs if he'd been made paraplegic? I doubt it somehow.

He has two badly broken legs no spinal damage. Expensive but repairable.
