Dane Stig Gunther jumped from a record-breaking height of 104.5 m (343 ft) into a giant airbag on August 7, 1998. He hit the bag at an impact of 145 km/h (90 mph). Stig doesn't remember much about the fall itself, as he was concentrating far too hard to be enjoying the ride. "If you're not concentrating or aware of risk involved you would enjoy it just like a roller coaster. It's delightful to be weightless, but I was so focused," he says.

terrible body position though... still balsy, especially with no parachute... lol what was he thinking?
