He should had hold off on pulling the parachute for a few seconds to beat Kittinger's record for longest free fall. does anyone know why he pulled it when he did? like, was he aware of the time, or perhaps did he just freak out? how exactly does he know when to pull it? i think it was due to his speed. he was going so fast and was reaching the point where the parachute would have been rendered pointless.

lumpenprol Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) no clue why he opened it when he did...it did seem a bit early...i'm sure they had the chute(s) set to automatically deploy at a certain altitude (as with all jumps), but he deployed well prior to that cutoff... edit: in answer to Frankie, no, he was already slowing down due to atmosphere...that's the whole point Edited October 14, 2012 by lumpenprol Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide lumpenprol's signature Hide all signatures After this I listened to geogaddi and I didn't like it, I was quite vomitting at some tracks, I realized they were too crazy for my ears, they took too much acid to play music I stupidly thought (cliché of psyché music) But I knew this album was a kind of big forest where I just wasn't able to go inside. - lost cloud I was in US tjis summer, and eat in KFC.

SR4 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 yeah, im really interested to hear his take on personal awareness of what was going on....there was one point when they were shooting it on the infrared? camera, and he was 360 flipping while still going 600 plus mph...i would imagine that would be ridiculously disorienting.

Blir Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Well as you probably heard the sound between him and control was a bit fucked, plus he kept saying his visor was fogged up, so he probably just pulled it to be safe, probably had no idea where he was in relation to the ground. Falling at that speed I'd be thinking I'd hit the ground at any moment.

lumpenprol Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 yep, was just about to post that it was prolly because of the visor fogging. Probably couldn't see the altimeter on his wrist.

Why was Kittinger telling him he was at 100,000 when he was 20,000 feet higher?
