  • @anthonakisRB: I still can't get over how awesome Kittinger is. After his jump, he continued to serve the air force. Then he was captured in Vietnam and was a prisoner of war for 11 months. Man, he survived rope torture, and then he was rescued, after which he continued to serve. Then retired, and continued to work as a civilian. Then truly retired. Now he flies for fun, at 80-something years old.

  • big BALLSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

  • I'm surprised that baloon could lift the tremendous weight of that mans balls.

  • hot or cold????

  • @gardenofskeetn Search Youtube for "Wingsuit Basejumping - The Need 4 Speed: The Art of Flight" :)

  • we really don't appreciate the beautifull planet we have *smoke*smoke* XD

  • I heard of a parachutist in 1983 that got sucked up to the stratosphere in a storm, does anybody know his name by any chance?

  • no one ever in this world, can try to tell me, that kittinger doesn't deserve that cigarette at 2:24
