I base jumped off one of the highest buildings in the world.

I'm retired from the daredevil business.

People are fascinated about the world above them because it seems so out-of-reach.

Well, I jumped for the first time when I was 16. I just loved it and immediately realized that it was what I wanted to do.

I base jumped off the Jesus statue in Rio de Janeiro.

Of course my life has changed because now everybody knows who Felix Baumgartner is.

When I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble, you do not think about breaking records anymore, you do not think about gaining scientific data. The only thing you want is to come back alive
