Felix Baumgartner killed

[DJMK4]

The edge of space jump , its mad how much velocity he built up, and ended up in a spin which he eventually managed to control and get out of.

He actually went supersonic!

We need people like this in the world pushing the limits and exploring what humans can achieve. I find it somewhat amusing at the people dismissing him.

Good on him for keeping active with extreme sports and activities.

Sad news but at the same time he was an amazing man and should be celebrated for being so.

Legend, died doing stuff he loved. Although likely not wise to imitate exactly, there's something to be learned there.

I'm glad he wasn't a father.

RIP Felix.

sad to hear this! I remember watching the live stream from the jump for hours on end waiting for the weather to fix up, what a loss!

 

[Werewolf]

Watching a bit of the news it sounds like they think he may have had a medical incident (heart attack?) whilst in the air

The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

I'm afraid of grounds. It's the grounds that kill you.

Literally.

bazinga!
