Stupendous jump, all in the name of Evil Knieval. Great finish too.

This is some serious airtime for a car. Hope his suspension is still in good order.

Until I saw this video clip I never knew it was possible to jump from such a ridiculous height without a parachute or protection into a pool of water and live to talk about it.

Pretty damn cool indeed.

This guy is completely insane! He reaches a speed of 280mph, that is 100mph faster than a Jumbo 747 must go in order to take off!

"Looks pretty chilly down there, go on, you first."

On August 16, 1960, he made the jump from the Excelsior III at 102,800 feet (31,300 m). Towing a small drogue chute for initial stabilization, he fell for four minutes and 36 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 614 mph(988 km/h or 274 m/s) before opening his parachute at 18,000 feet (5,500 m). Pressurization for his right glove malfunctioned during the ascent, and his right hand swelled up to twice its normal size.He set historical numbers for highest balloon ascent, highest parachute jump, longest drogue-fall (four minutes), and fastest speed by a human being through the atmosphere[6]. These are still current USAF records, but were not submitted for aerospace world records to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).

I know this one is completely fake, but I think its awesome to watch. Plus Microsoft actually made something cool!

Judging by the time of day this was taken, and the mad scramble into a bush after landing, I am guessing this wasn't entirely legal.

This guy is awesome. Not only has he achieved a world record trampoline jump, but probably one of the best slam dunks I have ever seen!

Not bad, not bad. Would have been even better if the ball had been dribbled on the run up to the trampoline.
