Well I was gonna say gotta be fake cos you can't jump above 15,000ft without oxygen.
Then I watched another on on weird news saying he had oxygen.
So that answers that haha
Don't get why he'd jump from 25,000ft tho, the point of that I'm not sure.
Not found video yet that actually explains anything.
And the precision needed to hit that net in freefall! Is mental!
Falling at 198ft a second, there's only moments to adjust your angle of descent!
Wasn't exactly a small net tho! Haha
But still not sure it's for real tho. :D
But thanks Lee. :)
Marc it was shown on sky news as well, I doubt they'd report on a fake event, but I could be wrong o_O

I'm just a cynic Lee! Haha
Having actually jumped, I know how difficult it is to manoeuvre through the air with such a high level of accuracy under freefall.
That's a mighty small spot from 25,000ft
Was it reported on by a Sky team, or from another broadcaster.
A bit like formula 1. Our commentators commentate, but they rely only the picture given to them by the host tv broadcaster.
It's completely mental, haha I mean what safety protocols were in place if he was off course?
Was he meant to grab one of the other skydivers? :p
Don't get me wrong, I hope it's truly real, but it's very difficult to believe.
I'd of thought he would have least had a suit that somewhat inflated with air, to work like a canopy, just to slow his decent a bit.
He's travelling at 120mph for god sake. :)

It was on "normal" telly as well. No winged suit, he just flipped over near the end and went backwards into the net. Don't know what all the fuss is about...

Yeah but he had a canopy, so I can see why he did it.

I'm fully booked until the end of October so it'll have to wait until after then. I may have a problem though and my physics is failing me, as I only weigh 70kg and am skinny as a rake would I float away like a feather or plummet like an arrow?
