‘I’m the guy who jumped from space:’ Man opens up about his death-defying stunt

Adventure sports enthusiasts are driven by an insatiable desire to push the boundaries of human possibility. Felix Baumgartner is one of them who embraces risk and uncertainty with a sense of exhilaration to perform mind-blowing—and dangerous—stunts. In a video, he opened up about how it felt when he jumped from space.
In the viral video, Baumgartner discusses his rigorous training, which lasted for five years. He also talks about the importance of communication between him and his team, which had people from different fields, including some unknown.
The athlete shared that the first thought that came to his mind was “freedom”. He described his five years of training as being in jail.
