Better than the ones photographed at the Olympics this year, at least you're just peeing in the ones you posted.




No thanks, I'll hold it.

Remember Felix Baumgartner? The guy who went up in a baloon and jump out from 26 miles up? Here is a new video that was released from GoPro.

This view shows him from the camera mounted on him during the fall. None of this was aired on TV when he jumped live. Even the spin he took was not shown from the live camera but you see it here. Pretty cool.

I don't remember this, but that looks like something I'd really like to do.

Saw that the other day. That spin was scary. I can't believe we didn't hear about that until 2 years later. I'm so surprised there weren't any active or passive aero bits on his suit to help stabilize his descent. You'd think they would've known that there was an extremely high possibility of a spin like that, especially considering his small mass (compared to say a plane, which at that altitude and speed will almost always enter a spin like that when they experience a power cutout) and expected speed. Maybe there wasn't much they could do even if they did expect the spin.

There's not much that can be done. They knew there was a large probability of a spin, but being that high, there's no atmosphere to stabilize against. To get enough "lift" to be stable, he'd have to wear a plane.

Exactly what I was thinking as I was typing that haha.

His is not a rigid body; any alterations made by someone other than Baumgartner himself would have been countered by his own movements--arms, legs, core, etc. Only a rigid frame can be altered predictably in those conditions. It's why this is a dangerous proposition.

It goes back to October 2102. It was televised and like a 6 hour special. A lot of build up for a 4 minute jump. I still have it on the DVR.
