I knew about an indecent where two wing-suite fliers were trying to fly under/over a bridge, and one of them struck it. But I didn't know one of the was Jeb Corliss, and the other was Dwain Weston. Nor did I know who Weston was (in the video below (at 27:56 mark) Jeb calls him "crazy" and "indestructible"). In the video, Jeb describes how he got splatterred with blood, saw body parts flying though the air, etc... Video also features Karin Sako, who dumped Corliss for Weston.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Gorge_Bridge
In October 2003, while performing a proximity demonstration, wingsuiter Dwain Weston was killed attempting to fly over the bridge. [...] Weston struck a railing while traveling an estimated 120 mph, killing him instantly and dismembering extremities. Cleanup from his impact took two full days, and many parts of Weston's body were never recovered.
