Buddhas Hand Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 That's nice. Still doesn't make him an effective capcom, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrawfull Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 39 km isn't that much actually. That's like driving from Vancouver to Maple Ridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucklax Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 There's something beautifully ironic that a man with claustrophobic fears jumped from the edge of the vast, emptiness of space http://www.wired.com/playbook/2012/10/felix-baumgartner-claustrophobia/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobble Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Anyone else think of Iron Man as he dropped that fast? Freaking Amazing! Now who and HOW is someone going to one up him as the greatest stunt ever? (imo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Freakin' sweet. Next, someone will have to free fall from SpaceShipOne. Record high ceiling for fixed wing aircraft: 112kms up. That's outer space. Woooo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:D Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Missed it, need to find a high res file... Reminds me of that jump in the recent Star Trek movie. Intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbo Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 That's amazing! Mach 1.24 and 119,000 feet in free fall, 128,100 feet total altitude. That's courage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrels.Gone.Wild Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Just saw the video. It takes a special kind of crazy to do what he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Why is that courage? Was he forced to do it? Did he do it to help somebody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainly Mattias Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 So apparently today is also the 65th Anniversary of Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbo Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Um, it's courage because he did it while most would be terrified to do it, hence it taking so long for somebody to actually do it. Willing to bet that you, unforced, would pee in your pants instead of jump out. And that doesn't really help anyone either. Does it hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jägermeister Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I'm curious to know whether he got paid for the stunt or not? Not that it matters, I would be willing to shell out boatloads of cash for that opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
