Basically this guy is going up to 23 miles (I think) and jumping out of his balloon, going live in about 3 mins (from when I posted this)

Its live now hes at 30,000ft
holy ****, it was so intense i would of loved to of done that but the sky would be brown from my ****.
It was sick. Medically speaking, I didn't think he'd make it. Scientifically it was a perfectly calculated risk with minimal risk at end stage. However... For those of you who watched that stream he went into a spin about 90k ft in the air and it was... SHOCKING. I expected markers for Shaken Baby Syndrome (Adult manifestation obviously.) Surprised there was no brain damage from looking at it.

Well in my professional opinion from what I SAW there is no reason why he isn't ****ed right now... But hey, he landed safe and seems to be perfectly fine, for now - Fair play to him.
I'm kind of glad he began the spin at such a low altitude, any higher and he wouldn't have been able to stabilise.

You are aware he was spinning on his own?
He said over the radio "just having abit of fun"

They seemed pretty concerned when he went into the spin, and check his comments, seem to contradict yours.
