I've known a number of skydivers and BASE jumpers. A couple of traits they all have in common are a love of life and a love of flight. This isn't a deathwish at all, it's the exact opposite. It's a lifewish.

Although to be fair... Jeb is crazy and has stated in interviews he got involved in BASE jumping because it seemed like a way to come close to killing himself, but still stay alive. So he isn't exactly the sport's greatest spokesman, ya know? Don't judge all divers by him, please.

Skydiving six years ago I had a very bad landing and broke my back. In another few years I should be healed enough to get back out there and fly again. So very much looking forward to it. It doesn't feel like falling; it feels like flying. Flying like Superman. Nothing on Earth can compare.
