No further proof necessary! Total nutter IMHO.....see my earlier post above.

2012
On 16 January 2012 in an accident while proximity flying off Table Mountain, Cape Town, South Africa Jeb broke both ankles, three toes, his fibula bone, tore his left ACL, and sustained a gash in his shin that required skin grafts to close. He struck his legs approximately halfway between the hip and knee on a rock ledge he was attempting to skim over while aiming at a target balloon. The impact caused him to tumble forward one revolution before he regained control in order to clear some additional ledges. He then deployed his chute. He was airlifted out by the Red Cross Air Mercy Service Agusta 119. He has recovered, is up and walking and plans to return to life as usual. A video of the accident has been released.
