I am surprised, Neal, I would have thought you applaud the man. I do. Just short before his jump, I read about him in a German magazine. During the tests of the net with crash dummies it broke I think twice. Most project workers panicked, he just said something like - "That's fine, thats' what tests are there for - to find out what does not work." And continued. Asked why he does this insane stunt, he answered like this: "I want to show how much farther you can reach with good planning and preparation -
and that then you can even do what is considered to be undoable." That's what hooked me.
Cojones!
Did you dislike the jump bei Felix Baumgartner, too?
