arrow32 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 This is crazy it's on the discovery channel. This guy is going to jump out at 120000 feet they say he will get up to over 600 miles per hour and break the world record for free fall dive. There ain't no way is sky dive but the heck with that. The temperature at the altitude he is at now is like 91 below zero. That's crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gzilla45 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I read something that said he got up to 833 mph. I wonder if that was supposed to be 733 as during is descent the meter showed low 700s. Either way that is incredibly fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUDRUNNER Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 It was pretty amazing to watch. When he started spinning I thought he was in big trouble, but he pulled right out of it. He still didn't get the record for the longest free fall though. I think he missed that one by like 20 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw this morning where they said he reached 833.9 mph so what you saw was right. That's crazy fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Heard about it, but missed it. Spent the afternoon after church with my younger two daughters out shooting a couple different rifles to be sure my 11 year old is ready for the upcoming youth hunt. Had a lunch at church so we did not get home til around 2. Also spent some time with my oldest daughter and her boyfriend with some good q&a on archery and general deer hunting.

Jeramie Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 i didn't expect him to survive I didnt either. He actually tried a few times last week to jump but the wind over 700 up was too high. People are crazy. I guess he is now in the record books but I wouldnt ever think about doing anything 1/2 that crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
