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?

Nope, not buying it. What's next? Drop a case of sharp knives off a ledge above you and see if you can dodge them all? It's just stupid. You've heard of the Darwin Awards, right?
