14 DAY TRIAL // Felix Baumgartner’s jump from the stratosphere broke several records and marked one of the boldest freefall attempts ever, but Conan O’Brien was never the kind to be intimidated by such big words. He can set his own record if he wishes to.
In the video above, a segment of one of his latest shows, Coco and his team set out to write history by setting a new world record: that of the world’s shortest freefall.
If Baumgarner can do well, Coco can do better.
The “daredevil” who signed up for the job is Alex Brenner, a man bold enough to risk everything in an attempt no other has ever tried before.
The whole thing was sponsored by Slim Jim and, as you can see, it was truly a thing of beauty. Sadly, Alex never got the chance to share a customary glass of champagne at the end.
You’ll see why but, trust me, it’s heartbreaking.
