Jeb Corliss, a daredevil who nearly died after crashing into Table Mountain in South Africa, has posted footage only of the accident.
Corliss broke both his legs when he hit a outcrop of rocks while hurtling down the mountain in Cape Town at a speed of 120mph.
Corliss, 35, was being filmed by US network HBO and was performing his second jump from the Cape Town landmark when the accident happened at 10am on Jan 16.
A spokesman for Table Mountain, Merle Collins, said Mr Corliss was lucky to be alive after he fell more than 200 feet from the 3,500 foot mountain before landing on a sloped side known as Africa Face.
He managed to release his emergency chute and we believe he would have died without it, she said.
He was recovered from close to the base of the mountain by air ambulance and taken to a private hospital in the city where he was admitted to intensive care.
The stunt man has spent more than five weeks in hospital since the accident.
