real question

given the same budget and support team, would you do it?

Fuck no, I'm shit-scared of flying anyways, just the idea of a normal sky-dive makes me feel really uneasy, I couldn't bring myself to watch the live stream because the idea of what he was doing made me feel really anxious, now that I know he didn't die horribly I might actually be able to watch it

Did you read the Joseph Kittinger wiki I posted?

Kittinger's first high-altitude jump, from about 76,400 feet (23,300 m) on November 16, 1959, was a near-disaster when an equipment malfunction caused him to lose consciousness.[2] The automatic parachute opener in his equipment saved his life. He went into a flat spin at a rotational velocity of about 120 rpm. The g-forces at his extremities have been calculated to be over 22 times the force of gravity, setting another record.

Fuck right off.
