Some truly amazing jumps in there....some amazingly stupid ones too! There were a couple where death was a micro second away.

The base jump/glide video is amazing. Those guys come close enough to touch the rocks and bushes, but it's extremely risky. I saw a video on youtube of one of these guys attempting to do a "fly-by" of a bridge....unfortunately he collided with the bridge, immediately severing both legs and instantly killing him.

On that space jump, I wonder if the astronaught was ill from the high altitude and then the jump and pressure change from high atmosphere to ground in only 15 min's?

Can you get the bends from something like that?

He wore a full pressure suit so I'd imagine he was fine. On a related note... http://www.redbullstratos.com/
