Holy snap did that really happen? or was it another mission to the moon?
Just watched the video and if those speeds were accurate, damn he's moving fast!
but he didn't beat the free fall record made back in 1960? That's a little hard to believe.

Did someone mention olive garden? don't you find their food quite salty??

Tell me you haven't gone through any sort of physics class... or the facepalm pic is coming out...
 
If you haven't/ What's easier to walk accross: a pond 4 feet deep or a pond 2 inches deep?  The high atmosphere is like the 2 inch deep pond.  As in there are very few (relative to the ground level) molocules of air for your body to push through.  That's how he got going so fast.  Now for not having bodily injury?  Relative to his motion of falling down, his body is going the same speed.  When you take a step forward on a bus, you are only going the speed of the step (relative to the bus), not the speed of the step plus the speed of the bus. Same thing applies to his fall. 
The other possible injury point would be the shock wave of the speed barrier.  You know the pics of the jets breaking it that have the sweet halo around them?  Ya, that.  That could kill a guy really quick.  But, as we said before, there was vitually no air around him to cause friction, or a sonic collaps behind him.
 
If you have/ sham man. shame.

He was basically wearing a next generation space suit.  The air temp was as low as -80*F and the pressure was something like .07 ATMs (from memory only).  He jumped from over 2 times higher than the death line, where if you didn't have a pressurized suit, your blood would straight freekin' boil inside of your body the pressure is so low!!!

Ya his suit looked looked like an astronauts. Not just for the forces that he dealt with falling, his blood would have turned into a gas in the Stratophere if we wasn't wearing a pressurized suit to handle the pressure and lack of oxygen.

red bull is always pushing the limits. Just one hell of a company, brand, and product. I am interested to know the training the person did in order to do this just. I feel like that had some crazy G suit that kept him from passing out or their body was so well tuned for it.

Space gloves are hella bulky, then you add the pressurized "puff" in the suit that comes with it. I could see how it would be a small task. My roommate and I had a laugh thinking that he was second guessing the whole "jump from space" thing after that. 

"Number 29, remove your seatbelt. Felix? Please remove your seatbelt..."

FWIW, I don't think I'd want to be conscious during a 700 mph tumble.

What a troop, though.

I was wondering the same thing about the POV gopro camera.

I don't know if he did pass out..but he did have a hard time communicating with everyone at the base.

Man, he sounded nervous when he was sitting in the capsule and the door wouldn't open. I was on the edge of my seat!
