The adrenalin rush will keep him high for a while as balloon jumps are some of the most awesome , so my old dad told me when he was involved in all sorts of R&D more than half a century ago .I missed my 2 arranged balloon jumps due to weather .
The air pressure at over 800 miles per hour must be phenomenal even inside the suit .

That`s one small step for a groover
One giant leap for weeny kind .

Cool.

But why would you call it a "Red Bull" jump?

You're just buying into allowing the commercializing of our lives....

I'm not a Red Bull drinker as I don't enjoy the taste of what bear piss must taste like but if not for Red Bull, Felix would not have been able to do the jump. If it wasn't the "Red Bull Jump" it could have been the "Tampax Leap" or "Viagra Boner Drop". :D

:bustingup:bustingup

So becuase they brought us the 'jump' ( "but if not for Red Bull, Felix would not have been able to do the jump") they have bought your, others, agreement to use their name?


It is one think when you are contractually REQUIRED to use such silly names as Lucas Oil Stadium, or Arco Arena, or Red Bull Jump...but why use the name if YOU are not obligated?

I know you are kidding, but there are many ways to accurately describe this jump:

Record Setting free fall
Felix's Jump
Nutty German Sets Record Jump
etc
etc

Oddly enough, when I have talked about "the jump" with friends and colleagues, I have referred to it as something along the lines of "that crazy ass jump from 24 miles" rather than any brand name jump. I do like "Nutty German Sets Record Jump" though. That dude is nuts!

They should have called in Skrillex, he could have dropped the bass.
