  1. Felix Baumgartner died on 17th July 2025, at the age of 56, during a paragliding flight in Porto Sant’Elpidio (Fermo), Italy. He lost control of the craft and ~~balconed~~ fell into a swimming pool at a coastal resort, striking a young woman who was injured on impact.

  2. He died for something he loved to do: Risking his life.

  3. Bravery of a lion. Mental capacity of a brick.

    Still RIP.

  4. Does this mean we get a second outing for the Red Bull – Vettel style spaceman Baumgartner helmet?

  5. Hehe his name is Bum Gardener – Peak British humour 2025

  6. He was younger than my dad and probably more fit. Shit, he might’ve had political views I don’t agree with but it’s not an age to go. Rip

  7. A truly sad day for the sport. May there be many balconies overlooking swimming pools in his next chapter.

  8. So Red Bull doesn’t always give you wiiiiiings

    R.I.P.

  9. I hope heaven is the mild dictatorship he always dreamed of

  10. Rest in peace, Felix.

    I have watched the red bull stratos jump live via a stream. It was so epic. And he continued to do epic things.

    And I am sure of it also in the afterlife.

    Fly high Felix

  11. The moment i heard the news, i knew this post will come 😅😅

  12. I remember watching the RedBull Stratos jump when I was at the bulldog hostel in Amsterdam. This was while on rest and relaxation for Middle East deployment so it was an interesting time for me
