well he also got the record for fastest freefall and broke the speed of sound (the faster speed would have shortened his freefall time), plus his visor fogged up so he couldn't see his altimeter/shute deployment altitude so he had to take a guess and did the sensible thing and pulled it early instead of too late (after hitting the ground)

If he had failed, there would have been some awful jokes about Red Bull not giving him wings...  :whistle:
