Solving the Rubik's Cube while skydiving (boat jump)

Speedsolving the Rubik's Cube while freefalling from 4300 meters, sitting in a rubber boat. This is the first attempt and worked really well - I solved the cube in about 31,5 seconds. I started right after exit and was finished at about 2500 meters. At 2300 meters I accidentally slipped out of the boat.

The skydive was videotaped by five cameras (two on-board, three outside the boat).

Have fun watching and leave your comments!

The video was featured on Japanese NHK Television during the show "Tokudane Toukou Doga" on Oktober 17, 2010 and could also be seen on British, American, German, New Zealand's and other contry's broadcasting networks.

lucky last layer? 2look OLL and R-Perm (i think). Three-step last layer is not really lucky.

why don't you just watch the whole video and find out the song title yourself? i'm sure you can do it, just pay a little attention to the credits.

I hear they're working on a new video with a device that only deploys the 'chute after the Rubik's cube has been solved.
