It's gonna take about 2 hours to get to the target altitude. Check back in a bit.

Remember that old TV show "Thrill Seekers" ? I don't remember anyone doing anything quite so death defying or elaborate but there are some folks wired to where they get supreme satisfaction out of putting it all on the line. I wish him luck.

When he was tumbling at speed I was pretty worried my son was going to witness something awful, also Im sure he was in and out of consciousness a coupe of times.
Glad to see he landed safe.
Another perfect moment for "See son, you can be anything you want when you are big"
