Yea that guy is nuts. I saw a documentary on him and another bat suit pioneer last year. Evidently they jumped out of a plane together and tried to fly somewhat horizontally under a bridge before deploying shutes. When he passed under the bridge, Corliss said he heard a loud noise and then saw a leg flying past him. The other guy impacted the bridge at terminal velocity. In this case it was terminal.
