    Red Bull Stratos new GoPro footage.

    Brand new, never seen before footage of Felix Baumgartner's jump. This is INCREDIBLE!

    1080p fullscreen is a must!

    That's amazing. I wonder what stopped the spin he talks about.

      It looks like he steadied his spin with his arms.

        Maybe the thickness of the air changed as he got lower and could exert more control when he got lower.

          The spin stopped once he entered the atmosphere. There was no air resistance all the way up there, which is why he was going 800MPH then down all the way to 130MPH.

            Surely the spin would continue in some way though. The atmosphere wouldn't abruptly fix his spin. To me, it looks as though he uses his arms in conjuction with the ever increasing air density to control himself.

            Been a while since I've done Physics lol.

              You get resistance from density. If he could control it he would have done so at the start, not wait 30 seconds to stop.

                Well yeah i know that. Your initial response made it sound like it was all atmosphere that stopped the spin, and nothing to do with him. Or at least that's how I read it.

                  Well, certainly they didn't want to show his arms flaying about like Gary from Team America.
