One GIANT leap.

“Sometimes, you have to get up really high to understand how small you are,” were Red Bull Stratos skydiver, Felix Baumgartner’s last words before he began his death-defying, record breaking, 128,120 foot plummet to the Earth’s surface. Back in 2012, in a stunt that put’s Sandra Bullock’s performance in “Gravity” to shame, Baumgartner became the first person to break the sound barrier — plunging to deserts of eastern New Mexico at speeds of about 843 mph/Mach 1.25! Now, two years later, stomach-churning, footage from the seven HERO2 GoPro cameras worn by the the skydiver ”space diver” has surfaced.

The thrill-seeker had a rough return to Earth, especially when the he goes into an uncontrolled, dizzying spiral around the 6:00 mark. Eventually Baumgartner  even says to Mission Control, “I have been in a violent spin for a long time — feels like I have to pass out” when he reached a startling 555 mph and 69310 feet above ground. Check out the nauseating, vertigo-inducing footage of Felix Baumgartner’s Red Bull Stratos space jump below — but be sure to grab a barf bag.
