Steve Truglia (the dude doing the loop-de-loop) is an ex-Special Forces soldier-turned-stuntman who has appeared in James Bond films and is currently planning a mindbogglingly dangerous skydive from space.

Every time I watch that I can't help but just stare open mouthed and wide eyed. The tumbling shot of him around 4.35 where you can actually see the curvature of the planet...it's just beautiful and mind blowing all at the same time.
