Why did the guy go when she was fighting so much?
A little hesitation aye, be in control but she looked terrified.
Even more so now i imagine!

She clearly didnt want to go, they should have left her on the plane.

Also, the chance that they would not be strapped in tightly enough for fear of harming due to brittle bones/age, etc.

She caused the problem. That said, they shouldn't have jumped when she was clearly having second thoughts.

Glassman said: juan king said: Joseph Kittinger  A lot of those jumps were Red Bull sponsored. God bless you caffinated lunatics! Also Travis Pastrana did at least two of them (the double backflip and the no-chute jump. Can't remember who did the Arc d'Triumph jump.) And finally, I could have sworn that Red Bull also did a jump similar to the Kittinger jump? In fact, a quick google reveals the details of the planned Red Bull "Stratos" jump: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Baumgartner#Red...
