Highest parachute jump, trying to break the sound barrier, other records.
I think there’ll be a 20 second delay in the feed in case he snuffs it.
Any of ye ever done one?
Did a 14000ft one 10 years ago.
What are the chances of him surviving it?
Did a 16,000ft tandem one 4 and a bit years ago.
This fucker is jumping from 120,000ft.
Dunno.
He did one from 101,000ft in July.
The record was set 52 years ago from 103,000ft
Did a jump(we say jump but their more like falls) once. Resulted in hugely inflated head and ungelable hair. A great experience though.
Did one from 16,000 ft during the summer in NZ. Biggest adrenalin rush I’ve ever had.
Did one from 54,000 feet once in Siberia.
That and abseiling once in the quarry in Dalkey are the only two times I’ve done anything like this.
Mine was NZ too. Whereabouts was your Mac?
Sidney, stop fibbing.

Over the Franz Josef and Fox Glacier. Unbelievable scenery on the way up and down.
I jumped off a roof once.
Lovely. Did mine in Taupo. Its a cracking thing to do.
Were you chasing a rabbit?

Yeah would have saved myself about $100 if I did it in Taupo. Views of both coasts and all that. Franz was recommended to me though. Would do it again in the morning if I could.
Is it on tv?
Live feed on the website in the opening post but its not working for me at the moment.
Maybe its all gone the way of the pear.
Have the website feed up and running seems to be fine.
Thejournal.ie have a live feed going too. Just seems to be the redbull YouTube account
First record gone. Highest manned balloon flight.
