Bob Dole had an OH NO moment when that happened. Glad it turned out.

You know the crazy **** is going to try it again.

While he was spinning @ 700+ mph, I thought:
I hope dude don't die!

That was a crazy spin - he said he almost passed out if I heard him right...

They were talking earlier that if he lost consciousness due to a spin the chute would automatically deploy...

I was waiting for a "break apart in mid air" reference. LMAO
Just about everyone that jumps has a computer setup that will open the chute at a preset alt.

Great jump and watch

I Think he had a camera on him.

I believe they said it was set to go off if the G force from the spin reached a certain level. Otherwise he would have kept free spinning, while blacked out, until the altitude set the chute off.

That is what I heard him say as well.

Turning on the cameras was one of the last items on the pre-jump checklist

CNN has a front page story on their website about the jump, early results say Baumgartner's top speed was 833.9 mph, or Mach 1.24.

Crazy. The estimated speed live peaked at 729.
