I'd like to belive that was a fake, but I can't see how they could possibly
do it. Hanging from a helicopter was my first thought, but there's too much clearance. Scepticism removed. Bloody Amazing! Rob G "Doug FM" wrote in message le.rogers.com...

SNIP This seems to be Felix Baumgartner, he's from Austria. also crossed the Canal in a jump suite. see his website: http://www.felixbaumgartner.com/ It's Loic Jean Albert, alot of planning into this jump. As far as I know the ratio of the slope is steeper than his glide ratio. Very impressive. Neily
