Falling

Can't remember the context, but we mentioned the highest ever sky-dive in one of the shows. Chris was in the green room and was a bit worried that the record was about to be beaten.

Weeeeell, the guy who was attempting the record is called Michel Fournier, but his attempt was scuppered this week by his half million dollar balloon floating away without him.

Here is a news report where you can see it happening live, unfortunately you need to sit through a nutrogena ad first.

Yes, I saw that - his attempt was literally the day after we recorded. A tragic error for him, a lucky escape for us.
