JEB CORLISS MAKES HISTORY - SOARS WITHIN TWO METERS OF
CHRIST THE REDEEMER
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (April 26, 2007) | Check out a videoclip of this skydive!
Earlier today, residents of and visitors to Rio de
Janeiro witnessed something never seen before, when
Jeb Corliss of 3 triple 7 and Brazilian native athlete
Luigi Cani soared under their own wings within two
meters of Christ the Redeemer, atop Corcovado
Mountain. Further etching this amazing spectacle into
the minds of onlookers.
"I am hoping that the imagery captured during this
flight will convey the sense of freedom, emotion and
awareness of everything around you; especially when
you only have control over certain elements in life."
Cani continued.
This momentous flight took place less than two weeks
after Brazil launched a campaign for Rio de Janeiro's
iconic Christ the Redeemer statue to be named one of
seven new wonders of the world, Cani hopes with his
legendary flight to embody his country's vision, which
believes that the outstretched arms of the statue
represent a feeling of national pride.
After more than a year of planning this event, the
guys were able to freefall past the statue, which
stands 38 meters (125 feet) atop the 710 meter
(2,330-foot) tall Corcovado Mountain in the Tijuca
Forest National Park overlooking the city and its
world renown beaches.
