The theory is that because the atmosphere will be so thin when he breaks mach 1, there won't be much of a shockwave at all. For the sake of awesome posters, I hope that theory is wrong.

You guys are mean. Poor lunatic.
What happens if he jumps out, and then just floats into orbit? That's gotta be a shit-the-spacesuit moment...

I saw something similar on a movie once. If you burp, you'll start to descend.

The lunatic pulled it off. There won't be any "OH SHIT I'M FLOATING INTO ORBIT" posters, but I think the salute before the step off would be a fine substitute. Broke 3 records and the sound barrier.
What a nut. Good for him, that was awesome!
They said that if he started flipping/spinning at all, the g forces would eventually kill him because there's no atmosphere to correct himself against. How many times have you seen someone do a jump where they start off axis and correct themselves? Thats the scariest part to me.
