This lad trying to emulate Felix Baumgartner’s heroic Red Bull Stratos record didn’t quite get the glory he had hoped for. He did, however, compress the disks in his spine.
Trying to emulate your heroes can often have undesired consequences (take amateur wrestling for example), so for some, taking on Felix Baumgartner’s Red Bull Stratos record might seem like one giant leap too far. Not this guy though…
Standing on top of a tall, one-story building, the bloke takes a moment to thank Red Bull (presumably for just being generally awesome), but then he takes a swig of a completely different energy drink.
He then tries to land on a large medicine ball, which is standing in as ‘earth’, as if he were soaring to earth like Felix himself. Sadly, instead of landing safely on ‘earth’ the bloke misses the Swiss ball completely and instead comes crashing down to… well, earth. There’s no doubt that this little stunt ended up costing him more than the price of a fake space suit.
He probably should have stuck to Red Bull and remembered his patented Felix Bum-Guard.
