According to Wikipedia, Felix Baumgartner was born 20 April 1969. He is an skydiver, and daredevil and set the world record for skydiving reaching a speed of 834 mph, or Mach 1.24, on 14 October 2012, and became the first person to break the sound barrier without vehicular power on his descent. He is also renowned for the particularly dangerous nature of the stunts he has performed during his career. Baumgartner spent time in the Austrian Military where he practiced parachute jumping, including training to land on small target zones. Baumgartner's most recent project was Red Bull Stratos in which he jumped to Earth from a helium balloon in the stratosphere on 14 October 2012. As part of this project, he set the altitude record for a manned balloon flight, parachute jump from the highest altitude, and greatest free fall velocity.
As amazing as Felix Baumgartner’s space jump was, one of the forces behind the attempt was the fear that something would go wrong while it was being live streamed. Thankfully, the jump went well, but this parody shows what could have potentially gone wrong.
