Seemed to pull his shute early. Guess he was knackered, and needed a break, the freefall seemed to have been very demanding
 

What gets me is he's going 6/700MPH and the only evidence of resistance you can see is the little fibers in his suit on the upper left there flapping a bit. Space, eh.

No air at that altitude, no?

BTW these vidoes are filmed on a hero GoPro!
 
We can replicate this now, just get Ossie to launch himself off the top of Traore and hold a camera. Added benefit that he might sprain something and then his gashness wont assault my eyeballs for another week or two.
 
Just seen this, it's not Felix but didn't want to start a new thread. I think they are mad , not a chance in hell I'd do that.

Two adrenaline-fuelled skydivers have plunged from the tip of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai to break the world record for the world’s highest base jump.

Vince Reffet and Fred Fugen (and their cameraman) climbed to the top of the 829.8m Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, and jumped from the peak.

The crew constructed a 1×2.5m platform at the tip of the building specially for the attempt, to allow the jumpers to enter the Guinness Book of World Records.
