This picture is from a test jump. The real jump is a lot higher still. The photo from today looks way crazier than this.

[–]GreenSage45 3 points4 points ago

Do u have a link?

[–]reddell 3 points4 points ago

here's one

[–]OhSoStickyIcky 1 point2 points ago

i dont remember the cameras being that big..

[–]Disc0_Stu 130 points131 points ago

Best part is, the freefall lasted 4:20

[–]daosmatt 17 points18 points ago

Came here to say that.

[–]tarheel295 87 points88 points ago

he was born on 4/20

[–]LTALZ 40 points41 points ago

Fuck! He is right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Baumgartner

Wow and woW backwards.

[–]dr_magillicuddy 4 points5 points ago

14 - 2012, plus the earth's orbit = 23

[–]Dareall 1 point2 points ago

Good catch.

[–]skoobmeister 2 points3 points ago

And the year '69.

[–]ratbert002 26 points27 points ago

so was this guy tho... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler

[–]tarheel295 21 points22 points ago

shiieeettt

[–]tomoom165 45 points46 points ago

its ok though dude, that guy killed hitler

[–]tarheel295 4 points5 points ago

dude yeah, hitler wasnt so bad, he killed hitler. haha jk he was pretty bad but thats kinda funny.

[–]tomoom165 4 points5 points ago

Literally hitler

[–]thatsnotoregano 7 points8 points ago

Hitler was a great man that used his talents to do terrible things

[–]Quasitoko 13 points14 points ago

That makes him a terrible man.

[–]froop 11 points12 points ago

Terrible...but great.

[–]mikev7743 1 point2 points ago

check mate atheists.

[–]zmont420 11 points12 points ago

best part is his parachute actually opened at 4:19 but the guy at working the stop watch musta been stoned

http://imgur.com/Cvimv

[–]SirTojo 22 points23 points ago

I think they count it to the time the parachute has fully opened. There's a few seconds between deploying and fully opening where you are discusably still in freefall.

[–]Sir_Jeremiah 5 points6 points ago

Thank you for keeping the dream alive.

Here's today's.

[–]GwM5[S] 22 points23 points ago

whooaaa

[–]NeededANewName[!] 63 points64 points ago

Ahaha. The size of that image is great. I'm browsing reddit with my projector (100" screen) after watching some TV and was greeted with the largest woahdude ever. Scared me a little.

http://i.imgur.com/b1Mdw.jpg

[–]Doughb0y 28 points29 points ago

And you provided a picture. Thats awesome. [7]

[–]Ishyspam 7 points8 points ago

You are the man. ;o

[–]bigJohn3 1 point2 points ago

NO UR THE MANNNNN , MANNNNNN

[–]SoftShock2294 2 points3 points ago

Woah dude.

[–]actuallyguy 5 points6 points ago

wow...what a sight!

[–]MilesGates 27 points28 points ago

Wait did he actually say that?

[–]Canon_Goes_Boom 20 points21 points ago

I do believe so

[–]MilesGates 24 points25 points ago

I heard him talking but I couldn't really make it out.

[–]toliet 17 points18 points ago

"No I will not make out with you!"

[–]Ender9Club MFLB 5 points6 points ago

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFzmguVqp54

it is pretty hard to make out but I think he says

"Sometimes you have to be up really high to see how small you are. I'm going home now."

[–]gs0ns 10 points11 points ago

Yea I feel bad because I think he got cutoff on the radio while he was sayin this

[–]ChronicMasterBaker 10 points11 points ago

One, two, three, four.

[–]Alex_the_Late 5 points6 points ago

♪And when the Commies gave the polio to Doris Day, ♪Santa helped the Beatles chase McCarthy away.

[–]2fingers 13 points14 points ago

I think he actually said "get up really high"

[–]tacotaster 4 points5 points ago

He started out by saying "I wish you could see what I'm seeing"

[–]TheCrafter 6 points7 points ago

Yep, those were his words as he was standing out of the pod right before he jumped.

I think there's a double meaning in those words.

[–]36009955 3 points4 points ago

Yep, he was high as fuck when he did the jump. For a once in a lifetime opportunity, wouldn't you not mind being high? (I know he actually wasn't, but it'd be funny to think he was, IMO)

[–]disposablechild 1 point2 points ago

Yep.

[–]someguy73 1 point2 points ago

He said it, but, you know, it wasn't in the context of THC, unfortunately.

'Puff' , the magic dragon?

[–]Cynique 2 points3 points ago

This is kind of unrelated for this subreddit but do you know where I could find whole chapters of that show online?

I've searched it for months and I've found nothing. :C

[–]maketho 12 points13 points ago

I really REALLY like this novelty account, uptokes for you!

[–]Canon_Goes_Boom 13 points14 points ago

except it doesn't have much to do with the post... except for the fact he's getting high of course

[–]grizzlykid 1 point2 points ago

I HAVE THAT SAME SWORD

[–]InSocial 1 point2 points ago

i'm liking it man, keep it up.

[–]zombiebearhug 5 points6 points ago

[–]Theoriginaldank 4 points5 points ago

The comma usage here is weird, and wrong. Read it aloud, and you'll see what I mean haha

"Sometimes, you have to be really high to see how small you really are. I'm going home now."

[–]tempfolder 5 points6 points ago

Okay, so this guy was born on 20 April, fell for 4:19 minutes and his last name Baumgartner (Baumgärtner) means tree gardener.

[–]Disc0_Stu 0 points1 point ago

Mind blown...

[–]Canon_Goes_Boom 3 points4 points ago

tried to submit this picture but it took me to yours. You beat me to it, well done

[–]Roll_Ups 4 points5 points ago

same here

[–]GotSavage 3 points4 points ago

I read this and thought "I should put that on trees"....and then I realized where I was. [7]

lordy lordy

[–]zmont420 2 points3 points ago

he was quoting someone else and i dont think this is the right words, i think it was "... go really high up..." but i like this version much better

[–]SirTojo -1 points0 points ago

Now let's just spread this around. Post the quotes on everything, hang it up and run screaming trough the street. But always take a brake so you can make sure they know it's a quote.

De-criminalicing! yay

[–]MCnugs132 2 points3 points ago

the finished quote, "im going home now, to get HIGH."

[–]BoniusChickius 2 points3 points ago

i need to find out where he buys pants big enough for his balls.

[–]disposablechild 2 points3 points ago

My school won't let me use this as my senior quote. They don't get the reference.

[–]handbanaynay 1 point2 points ago

I hear that, Felix.

[–]TanToeRocks 1 point2 points ago

that's what your ears are for

[–]Pigeonthatoker 1 point2 points ago

Dude. I just saw that and went to tree's to post that, if not posted already. But I would agree with that statement!

[–]PimpMasterFlex 1 point2 points ago

The quote that will be on my tombstone

[–]Hashrick 1 point2 points ago

Go Hom...oh, well carry on then

[–]Dopethrown 1 point2 points ago

I'm going to say this the next time I leave my friend's house.

[–]nahhman 1 point2 points ago

This may go down as one of the greatest inspirational quotes of all time

[–]GoldAlpinas 1 point2 points ago

Awesome pic.

[–]neonmanetee 1 point2 points ago

sounds like a poem

[–]guyev 1 point2 points ago

i had the exact same thought

cheers

[–]SoftShock2294 1 point2 points ago

I caught that too. Made me smile a little bit, I thought of you folks! I wasn't even high. :)

...Alright maybe I was high.

[–]bullseyes 1 point2 points ago

I am sooo glad I just hit my first bowl in about a week, and it kicked in just as I was reading these words.

[–]siberianunderlord 1 point2 points ago

[–]j05huaMc 1 point2 points ago

Good thing red bull won't let you see it.

[–]Dewut 1 point2 points ago

Wait did he say this before he jumped or after he touched down? Way more badass if it was in space.

[–]L4UGH 1 point2 points ago

Sorry /r/trees, but he was probably talking about the altitude..Oh, you know this already? Oh..well..Then it's kind of funny, I guess.

[–]buenohs 1 point2 points ago

Im going home now...there is a bag of doritos waiting for me

[–]alragusa 1 point2 points ago

I thought of this quote this morning in response to this:

'Just because the earth is big, does not make man small.'

[–]limus 1 point2 points ago

The grammar is terrible, but okay.

[–]DocCyanide 1 point2 points ago

To be fair, he is Austrian so English is not his first language.

[–]limus 1 point2 points ago

Fair enough, my b

[–]Helmet_Icicle -1 points0 points ago

This has nothing to do with marijuana.

[–]Dewut -1 points0 points ago

Duuuude, he said high. Marijuana gets you high. Me, she, he, wumbo?

[–]DocCyanide 0 points1 point ago

WUMBOLOGY, the study of wumbo? Come on, first grade.

[–]jeffrexsave -4 points-3 points ago

OMG! He said high! He must be a pot head seeeeew cool. What a lame fucking post
