Felix Baumgartner is going to Die..

[Graham]

...probably.

[Anusiya]

Why, what, how? Complications? :O

[Graham]

I know, my Scottish senses are tingling.

Live death on BBC News.

[Lábaru]

Some day, sure.

[Graham]

This is mental! so far so good.

[Graham]

SOOO AMAZING!!

[Tabiti]

One is sure: he's going to die rich...

[Corvus]

It was calculated risk, I knew he is going to survive,
anyway very couragious attempt

[Annihilus]

Damn I missed it:mad:

Great achievement:thumb001::thumb001:

Baumgartner for president :)

What Joe Kittinger did was in a way far cooler because it was done with sixties technology. He had a leak in his glove but didn't want to abort the jump so he duct-taped it and didn't tell anybody.:eek:

Good job, Mr. Baumgartner! I'm glad that records are still there to be broken. BTW, Mr. Kittinger, the previous record holder, was asked to be part of Baumgartner's team (a consultant). I thought that was a classy action, to include the old man.

[Leliana]

No, he wasn't going to die because we Austrians and Germans know what we do and how we do it. :cool: Good plannings and preparations and precise actions are our profession!

First man faster than sonic without plane: Achievement unlocked! :thumbs

Austrians are not the same with Germans.

[Leliana]

Austrians are not the same with Germans.
Uhm, how about to shut the crap up, unknown type from the unknown place of 'Yunanistan' at the a** end of nowhere? :picard1: I'm Austrian and German and our people belong together in culture, ethnicity, language and considering the historical context.

Felix Baumgartner did a great job!

Sorry, actually I meant to say "Austrians are not the same as Germans."

Yes, he did a fantastic job.

Austrians are South Germans, no one can deny that

I do not understand this universal masturbation on this event. Technically, this jump is not harder than a normal parachute jump. The only difference is in height. Impressionable topic was named this topic: "Death in the air", although less likely to die than a conventional parachute jump. Months of preparation and millions of dollars invested in security, could not prevent the death of Felix. Therefore, I believe the jump from 4 kilometers far more dangerous than the jump from 40 kilometers. Any regular army paratrooper has much larger eggs in this regard. Paratrooper parachute and he puts his safety depends only on one person. Felix followed for hundreds of people.
There is a difference between a jump of 4 kilometers and a jump from between 400 kilometers. But there is no difference between 40 kilometers and 4 kilometers.
With regard to the complexity of the jump, then cope with this task, even a monkey or a dog. Ordinary pop, which happily eats stupid impressionable and uneducated rednecks.
For these people, are these "events." However, as always..:)

Well, Americans first put monkey in space and you put first human in space but you did pr too, pretty face. But people behind it was awsome, technology was was awsome, the race was awsome.

And now, really I should cry, wtf is this. When I was a little kid I was dreaming about man in space. Fucking parachute jump, you are right.

[Graham]

Fucking Killjoys! :mad:

[Annihilus]

Fucking Killjoys! :mad:

No really, we should be ashamed that after what this man did, we can only repeat it for a publicity stunt. All we did was building better bombs:picard2:

Fucking Killjoys! :mad:

I expected that someone would write something like that. Go back to your twitter.(Or facebook?) and continue to write nonsense and "very valuable" comments.
The jump was crap. It's not even a "leap from space" - as the ignorant journalists write. Cosmos is much higher than 40 km.
Although, maybe I envy this guy. If I had a lot of extra money, I would have committed such loud and unnecessary event.

If it is so easygoing try it yourself

[Svipdag]

Of course, he is. Who isn't ?

Seriously, though, I did not expect him to survive. It was a very long and dangerous free-fall. It is clear that he knew the dangers in advance and was prepared for them, though the spin seems to have caught him by surprise.

Still, "The best-laid plans of mice and men......". Something can always go wrong. It was very risky, and whatever his motive in undertaking it, undeniably required great courage. I say "BRAVO !"

[Anusiya]

His stunt was so planned that if something went wrong, would top FAILBLOG's charts for decades to come.

Nonetheless (here-here, ehem..) it's a new top record. Congratulations to Red Bull. :D
