Daredevil Jeb Corliss can go take a flying leap — but not off the Empire State Building.
In a ruling made public yesterday, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Jane Solomon barred Corliss — who was arrested trying to do a BASE jump from the building’s 86th-floor observatory — from ever setting foot in the landmark again.
That means he’ll never get to fulfill his dream of parachuting off the city’s tallest skyscraper.
“It would have been nice,” the saddened stuntman said.
The judge also allowed the ESB’s civil suit to continue against Corliss for interrupting its business with his failed stunt.
Corliss, then the host of the Discovery Channel’s “Stunt Junkies” show, had gone to the building on April 27, 2006, dressed in a fat suit that hid his jumping equipment,
He ditched the suit, and, wearing a black jumpsuit, parachute and a helmet with a camera on it, climbed a wall and a fence. But security guards grabbed him before he could take the plunge.
He was convicted of misdemeanor reckless endangerment and sentenced to three years’ probation.
Corliss’ lawyer, Mark Heller, suggested ESB managers are heartless bullies by continuing to go after his client.
“This comes at a time when they’re already getting tremendous [negative] publicity for refusing to honor Mother Teresa” with special lights for her 100th birthday, Heller said.
A rep and a lawyer for the building did not return calls for comment.
