If anyone has a couple of hours free this afternoon, this is worth a watch

Felix Baumgartner is attempting a freefall from 120,000 feet!

[DarylAFC]

Absolutely crazy, total legend

[Dan_85]

The biggest dive since Gareth Bale vs Scotland.

Haha is he going to try and break the record he set with his dive at our place last year any time soon? Or is that a bridge too far?

[DB10GOONER]

Amazing feat.

He hit over 700mph at one point (and possibly over 800mph - to be confirmed). I remember reading about Joe Kittinger, the previous record holder, and he said at one point he had fallen so fast for so long he lost all sensation of movement and felt like he was floating.

I heard they had a second capsule up there with Felix. To carry his balls.

Legend.

[flash gunner]

Amazing achievement. Loved the way he landed so effortless and then dropped to his knees

[QuartzGooner]

I would love to do what he did.

Will go down in history as the ultimate extreme sport.

Won't make me drink Red Bull though.

Try Blue Bear. Tastier, stronger and no heartburn.

that reminds me of a song which the chorus has the words "we'll be higher than a hippie on a helicopter ride"

[DB10GOONER]

The footage from the camera on the side of the capsule that catches him as he steps out with the Earth so far below and away in the background is just fucking awe inspiring.

This is why no stupid fucking dolphins will ever be as intelligent as man. Lying dolphin kúnts.

The man is a fucking fruit loop, who in their right mind would try such a stunt? Have a look on YouTube at some of his other stunts, BASE jumping, racing aeroplanes whilst wearing a winged suit etc, complete fucking thrill seeker and one who will no doubt come to an equally exhilarating demise. I have never understood people who feel the need to jump out of perfectly good aircraft, just watching him do so turns my stomach cos when it comes to heights, I get scared enough climbing the stairs at home.

Some of them Dolphins look and sound kinda sexy, what with their high pitch voices and that inviting blow hole on top of their head, don't tell me the thought has never crossed your mind
