25k jump, no chute

Is he the same guy that did the space jump several years ago?

Don't think so, but not sure. Was never that impressed with the space jump. It looked cool visually yes. Obviously some technical challenges, but as long as he chute opened, what's the difference between that and say 30k ft? Now, no chute from a distance you can't even see your landing target that's 100'x100' net, now that's messed up

Space jump, way cool

Wing suit into a bunch of boxes, cooler and pretty darn risky

no chute from 25K into a net, is WTF...

There's actually a ton of difference between the space jump and a 30k jump, namely the sound barrier and the difficulties it presented (in relation to maintaining a proper descent orientation, slowing down for chute opening, etc.).

Stupid and irresponsible. Has his kids there to potentially (high potential) see his old man die like a dumbass. Neat trick, sure. One way to make it into the books under "stupid ways to die"
Glad he lived to tell about it.

Man , that was quite the pucker producer, but I would consider it a violation of the 6th Commandment, and it's made worst that he had a wife and child. Some guys seem to be adrenaline junkies.

Did he leave a brown contrail coming in? Because I would have.





The WHOOOOOOOOOOOLE way down... while screaming like a little girl...

Correction, to my non expert eyes on jumping from such heights, the no shoot jump the most WTF of the three.

What the hell does him jumping have to do with adultery?

I'm not a Roman Catholic. I subscribe to the Protestant version of the 6th. By putting his life in such danger, for what I don't know, I believe he broke the commandment. I try to apply God's law to all situations.

[LoboTBL]

I'll have to watch again. I didn't see him kill anyone or even try to. Is there a thou shalt not do anything dangerous commandment?
