It is good that he is the only person doing this. I'm sure that the first two Model T Fords that had the whole of the US to drive in managed to crash together.
These Model T's could manage to crash all by themselves too...

It looks to me like Yahoo Sport trying to get some free publicity by being a bit controversial, rather than a well researched article - they seem to have conveniently forgotten or played up/down a number of things. Slightly ironic considering point 5!

"Felix Baumgartner's greatest ever jumps - video
As Felix Baumgartner's skydive from space is celebrated, we've gathered clips of the Austrian daredevil's previous jumps from planes, buildings and rough terrain. See him wearing wings to fly and drop through the mouth of a cave. His space skydive broke three world records, descending from a balloon 24 miles above the Earth's surface"...
