Not Rico, not with a gun to his head

According to this AFP story, some 64-year-old French skydiver is going to jump out of a balloon 25 miles up over western Canada and freefall down to where he can open his chute. "If he succeeds, Fournier will actually break four world records: fastest freefall, longest freefall, highest jump, and highest altitude reached by a man in a balloon. It could also someday lead to rescuing astronauts in-flight."

Rico says he admires, from a great distance, people who can do this stuff...
