How did the blender jump I did for black and decker not make the top ten??? :frown :lol
Two things. The wing suit guys shooting the ridge are crazy. I have one of those suits and it takes a lot of concentration to hold it together flying it from 14,000 ft to 3,000 ft. I would not want to be anywhere that close to the ground. Your margin for error is zero. A guy tried to fly under a bridge with one and hit the bridge instead. :eek
The Kittinger jump was insane. Gear in the 60's was not that great. During one of the practice jumps at 80,000 ft he flipped through the harness on opening of the parachute and almost hung himself, having to cut multiple lines of the parachute to untangle. On the final jump his left glove on the pressure suit failed and his hand grew to 4 times its normal size. :eek He did not tell anyone as he watched it grow for fear they would tell him to jump early. :willy :willy
That man had true testicular fortitude!! :thumbsup:thumbsup
