Falling To Earth From 24 Miles Amazing Gopro Footage

Kin awesome.

 

Loads of bottle to do that.

 

Great story. The thing is, the edge of space is 62 miles up. 24 miles is pretty far but a long, long way short of the edge of space.

 

Always ready to let the facts get in the way of a good story

 

Fixed that for you- is there a sign saying 'this is the edge' . are there yellow lines to stop one parking to take snapshots?

 

That's great to watch.

It's really great what we get to see nowadays. Thanks for posting.

 

Where in this wonderful clip or postings is the edge of space mentioned? Can't we just watch and and admire

 

I think I'd rather keep it simple and jump from 3 miles 8 times

 

Just think of the Airmiles he got -literally.... Could get an ugrade ticket anywhere with those....

 

My heartbeat rose just watching this. So what altitude would the chute have opened if he fell unconscious when violently spinning? Or maybe remote release (I hope not!).

 

Not any more it isn't, because the original thread title has been amended now.

 

Im finding you pretty tiresome Pete. Thats all! Id rather you didnt Dont respond with some smart arse comment!)

Your username should be PedanticPete1950.

 

@Mr C I think @Pete1950 values accuracy, is in this case absolutely correct and is (almost) always polite; I can live with that.

 

Great vid

 

How else should one respond to dumb arse posts?

 

@Pete1950 Is there every any justification for hyperbole ?

 

Yes. I love hyperbole in the right hands - Jeremy Clarkson is brilliant at it, for example. Just using incorrect terminology isn't hyperbole if it isn't funny or clever, and doesn't make a point. Then it's just a mistake.
