I was hoping Felix would have brought a surfboard with him so he could do a little skysurfing while he was up there.

What is the canopy design and size, and what is the back up canopy size? When does the AAD go off? Does he manually pull the cord?
What is his weight with gear?
To: Jack Hydrazine
Hopefully he has an angle on an angle...
(stupid fingers will be punished...)
To: LachlanMinnesota
He’s going to manually pull the chute at 5000 feet. If that doesn’t happen by 2000 ft, an auto-deploy will blow the reserve chute. That’s according to the website.

It would have to be fairly good size for the weight of his gear, I would think...

Uh, no, I’m not releasing seat belt. Nope, no way.
Item 31 - checking what just got dumped in the seat and tell mom she should have packed me some clean undies.

He reached 729mph. Not sure if that qualifies for Mach 1.
