From a press report:
"The accident happened in January, and Corliss has been in the hospital ever since.
The Daily Mail reports:
Michelle Norris, spokeswoman for the Christiaan Barnaard Hospital in Cape Town, today said he remained there under observation and was due to be discharged on Friday.
She said: “Mr Corliss needed extensive surgery on his legs and also needed skin grafts to repair the damage. He suffered serious injuries and remains in the hospital, although he has been making good progress in recovery.
“One of the reasons he is still with us is that we needed to check how the wounds would heal from the skin grafts, but we hope to be able to discharge him on Friday. After that he plans to return home immediately to America to be with his family.”"
To paraphrase Dirty Harry; people who want to pursue what is, by any rational standard, an obviously life threatening endeavor have to ask themselves a two part question before undertaking it: "Do I feel far luckier today than anyone else in the history of the planet", and, "If this thing 'goes south', is the 'thrill' I'm seeking worth dying for?" Regardless of one's answer to the former, the only sensible answer to the latter is "NO".
Obviously, Zarathustra and I have much in common...
