Yeah, I was kind of considering not watching it because of that. I am really not in the mood to watch a dude die.
It's pretty safe I assume. The other guy that did 116000 feet had way worse technology supporting him but he made it aswell.
safe? nah, buddy, any scratch in his suit will mean that all of his blood in his body will boil in less than a second. if he starts spinning, he'll accelerate at a rate, that will turn him into spaghetti and rip off his limbs. now his helmet is fogging, and if that issue wont solve itself, there's a possibility that his faceplating will freeze and break on his way down. i fear that monster energy has sabotaged this entire event, and this in fact is a battle of esports between red bull and monster energy.
His blood wouldn't boil. It's protected and pressurized by the body. Perspiration/tears/etc. could though.
his blood will instantly boil due to friction.
this statement is wrong on so many levels.
He's just trolling or joking I think, don't bother

Capsule has a parachute - they want it back safely because it has a ton of data on it.
Yeah I figured. But what if that broke aswell?!
There would be some problems then door won't be able to open for some time because of the pressure differential. Once it gets to normal skydive range though, maybe he could get out

Then he jumps out, falls a few thousand feet, pulls his parachute, and lands safely.
Fairly easy to escape... These guys are trained to handle being inside widely spinning machines that ricochet his body in free fall. he just wouldn't make a record in regards to the sound barrier.
