Red Bull Skydiver Jump

[95 Vol Alum]

I wouldn't know my east from my down after that.

 

[SyxxSynse]

He should do dance moves while he parachutes down to break more records. Maybe the record for the highest altitude Macarena?

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Boom!

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Incredible.

 

[Cdywolfe]

Who paid for all that?

 

[therealUT]

Yeah I wondered what prompted the chute that early

I have to think he was shaken up between that vicious tumble and his visor being completely fogged up.

Hell of impressive, though.

 

[milohimself]

can't even phathom that, unless that stabilizing chute was used

The gravity field from his balls re-oriented him

 

[Obsessed]

Who paid for all that?

red bull i think

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Who paid for all that?

u srs?

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Did anyone catch the girl-on-girl action in the celebration?:naughty:

 

[Burhead]

That was amazing to watch.

 

[TOP]

That was awesome.

After all that though, I was disappointed he didn't break the free fall record so I'm sure he will be too. Did they say if he broke the sound barrier? I was hoping he broke every record he was out to get.

Would still be an awesome experience so I'm sure he won't be too bothered. But with all that time and money spent, I know I wanted to see him get the records.

 

[milohimself]

I think he broke the speed record but did not achieve mach 1.

 

[Obsessed]

I think he broke the speed record but did not achieve mach 1.

mach is around 768

first reports as he fell were as high as 729

but data is needed from his suit

 

[Cdywolfe]

u srs?

Yeah.... I mean looking back it was a stupid question. Happens to the best of us.

true but it differs based on how high you are. I believe they said he needed to hit around 680

Red Bull was the lead sponsor but I'm sure they didn't pay for it all

NASA pitched in.

News from The Associated Press

Felix Baumgartner hit Mach 1.24, or 833.9 mph, according to preliminary data, and became the first man to reach supersonic speed without traveling in a jet or a spacecraft

 

[vol_in_ar]

wow, he shattered the sound barrier

I'm was still talking about it a dinner with our waiter
My wife was rolloing her eyes, she thinks he's an idiot

 

[golfballs]

News from The Associated Press

That's nuts!

 

[vol_in_ar]

After reading it, I'm glad he left the free fall record to Kittinger

Just read his bio, he had an impressive career, and was also a POW at Hanoi Hilton

This also happens to be the 65th anniversary of Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier. He commemorated it by doing it again in an F-15. The USAF still flight qualifies him
