He aint gonna do nothing for awhile. He had to beg for money to get this far, and he missed the bus.

this was done in the 1960's from a similar altitude. The guy's glove wasn't sealed properly in his suit and his hand swelled up. He was OK though. That would be awesome to try.

the speed of sound is also slower the higher you go in altitude.

At that height, you basically in space where there is very little air (and thus little wind resistance) allowing you to travel more then 800 miles per hour.

If you don't have the proper suit with oxygen on, yes that height will surely kill you
wow... hes got some balls... cant imagine how cold its going to be up there and how thin the air is..

curious how thats going to feel though... going 900mph then opening a shute... the snap its going to have in the body.. hopefully the straps are strong as well.
