      Baumgartner is the daddy! I think the jump must have been a mixture of exhilaration and bum clenching scariness.

      If I remember correctly he was doing somersaults for quite a while at the start, that must have been crazy.

      He is definitely one brave guy! Especially when his goggles all got foggy, he couldn’t see and was spinning so much. I would have been so terrified!

      Yes. I mainly think about how he felt when things started to get out of control. He must have a very cool head to be able to think so clearly in such an unusual situation. I’m scared of heights, so the moment before he jumped would have been too much for me but incredibly intense for him.
