3rd time's a charm?

here's hoping for french skydiver michel fournier...
this crazy former army paratrooper is going for his third attempt to plummet to earth from 40km up. his last 2 attempts ended in pancaking. no, just kidding... they didn't go off because the balloon shredded before he even got off the ground.

"Skydiver aims for record 40 km fall"

me, i'm not so much for the jumping out of planes (or balloons) at great altitudes. i'm good to stay in the plane. or planted firmly on the ground for that matter.
