[quote:Anonymous Coward 13363335:MV8yMDMwMjUzXzM0MTI0NzAyXzk4QkRGNjMx] [quote:Sir France's Beercan:MV8yMDMwMjUzXzM0MTI0NjczX0ExMzkzQTU3] The live stream showed him tumbling head over heel, not in a flat spin like that and also had a much faster rotation. Add to that a strange moment when he had his parachute open and he was told he was at an altitude of 5,000 feet. Twenty seconds later he landed! Something smells very fishy about this whole thing.

The previously unseen footage is being crafted into a documentary about the 43-year-old stuntman, titled Space Dive, which is set to air on November 11.
But National Geographic has given a taste of the spectacular 4-minute, 22-second free fall captured by two suit-mounted cameras, in the program’s promotional clip.
The two-minute video captures the moment Felix Baumgartner steps off his space capsule and when he begins spinning dangerously out-of-control during the jump.
In the breathtaking footage, viewers can also see the curvature of the Earth as the skydiver spirals towards the ground.
Finally, Felix Baumgartner releases his parachute and the camera catches the look of relief on his face as he hovers to safety.
The full-length documentary will also include behind-the-scenes footage exploring Felix Baumgartner’s four-year metamorphosis from an elite BASE jumper to an extreme altitude specialist.
Despite his new status as a post-modern space trailblazer, the 43-year-old daredevil had publicly come out against NASA’s much praised Mars exploration project.
