Giant Leap

Inspired by Joe Kittinger who in 1960 leapt from a balloon 30km high, this is a glimpse of the great new sport we'll be seeing in a few years.

This is a very well produced video.
But you would need a small drogue chute to stop going into a flat spin that could be deadly.
Kudos to Kyle

Totally unrealistic. Look up Project Excelsior to read about someone who did the same thing in real life. You need a small chute even in the upper atmosphere to prevent you from spinning so fast your arms fly off.
