    Tried to watch on my phone but I think it will be too epic for that so I might wait till I can watch on my PC.

    so how did he get from violent spin and about to pass out to completely stable and solid as a rock? Or did I miss something?

    I think a wet fart acted like a damper. I know it does when I do it.

    Yes, they edited that out! It might have been that as the air became denser, his speed of descent slowed and the increased air resistance allowed him to regain control.

    Re: Felix's Space Jump, new footage (hope you don't get motion sick)

    I watched it live last year. Was in a Hostel in Toronto at the time (Planet Traveller) and I stuck it on in the common room... every time someone walked in "Hmmm whats this..." "This guy is going to jump from space, live" "Wow" - Didn't take long for the room to be full

    That moment he stepped off the ledge... man that was edge of seat stuff.

    From what I remember from the live stream (haven't watched the documentary) they believed he passed out as he started spinning & they couldn't get contact out of him however later in interviews he said he didn't. I also remember something about the suit auto deployed a guiding small chute which evened him out and slowed him a little but maybe I'm wrong about that?

    Wow, I never watched this when it happened. That's amazing but I'm scared of heights and just watching makes me feel sick!
