Hero camera footage of Felix Baumgartner's Stratos Jump

[Vinny]

Just up on YouTube today. He had 4 or 5 cameras attached to his suit.

He goes into a pretty severe spin and almost passes out before stabilizing. Just incredible.

Detached, descended, recovered. The balloon was deflated and recovered as well.

That was an awesome event. Love watching those videos. Oh, and that dude has brass balls.

Was watching it live when he was jumping
Or so I thought - apparently there was a however many second delay, so that they would't be showing the dude die on live tv if it came to that
Good footage though!

For what he did, they sure didn't show much on the news.

He fell, he did little, gravity did it all.

Felix has gotten tons of press from that stunt. Just that there is so much junk out there it is easy to miss. He is a made man from that stunt. Mini Lindbergh.
