This was my first time jumping Table Mountain in South Africa after almost dying there 7 years earlier. I had impacted a flat granite ledge at over 120mph and some how didn't die. I went through 6 surgeries, two skin grafts, two ACL reconstruction, 4 months of intravenous antibiotics to fight infections that threatened to take my leg away. The recovery took years. I came back to BASE jumping doing some of the most dangerous and complex flights of my life after. I thought I had gotten over the mental trauma that happened that day on Table Mountain. But for some reason when I went back to South Africa to jump the mountain again a fear welled up inside me I didn't fully understand. As I stood their looking over the edge all I wanted to do was step back. I didn't want to jump, every nerve ending in my body was rejecting the idea of doing this again. I began question my life choices and why I felt I needed to do this. It's complicated and I actually ended up writing a book about it. To make a long story short I jumped and this is the VR 360 footage of that jump. So get your VR 360 goggles ready and see me almost crap my pants with fear. It was strange because the jump was actually much safer then 99% of the jumps I had been doing the year before. But because of this mountain taking a massive bite out of me I just couldn't shake what had happened. Some how I pushed through the gut wrenching horror and was able to push forward and get to the other side...
