That riot cop is about to get a face full of gimp. If I were that cop I'd be running for my life, that dude in the mask is BIG.

I am going with Greece. Call it a hunch.

In which case, that cop is probably already dead.

Correlation vs causation

Need to prove something you already believe? Statistics are easy: All you need are two graphs and a leading question

Big brass ones. He has them.

probably one of the few guys to be suffering from frost bite in the middle of the desert.

iirc that is the only guy to have ever broke the sound barrier while parachuting

He jumped out of a hot air balloon at 100,000 feet, he hit something like 600mph at 70-80k feet

A little over 102,000 feet, he almost achieved the speed of sound - here's a video of Project Excelsior -

I thought terminal velocity was like 120??

air density, humidity, etc. all play a role. Less atmosphere, less shit to get out of the way of a projectile. That's why in space you can fire a retro rocket once and end up at pluto 35 years later.

terminal velocity can be defeated...Some speed sky divers can hit 300mph with no special equipment and not at extreme altitude

Not really sure how they do it though

It's drag. If you nose dive you decrease your profile, minimize drag, and therefore increase your speed. The clothing you wear, your hair cut, humidity, altitude, temperature, etc. all play into it.

He holds the record for "Highest, longest, fastest, free fall". (Not sure of the technical stuff.) I think it was on Discovery Channel. It isn't expected to ever be broken.
