Is Felix Baumgartner too good to be true?

Recommended Posts

Id like to think that Felix would be bothered to know we dont really beleive him and release some hard evidence of what he did, but I seriously doubt he gives a fuck.

I'm sure there is, but we didn't take very many special precautions against the cold. I'd use thin thermals and a turtleneck (along with my usual thin gloves) and was fine. I could have switched to my thick MTS thermals, thicker gloves, gaiter etc and been pretty warm, even at -34F.

Also keep in mind that he was gradually descending through warmer and warmer air, which coincides nicely with getting colder as the wind chills you down.
