Pretty sure Red Bull Marketing dept. actively seeks to push the envelope to get maximum PR collateral out of all their projects: the more radical, the more PR. But even so... hey, if it helps them sell their product AND advances humanity, why the hell not? We'll leave out the fact that these energy drinks are hella bad for your health...

Wed, 02 Jun 2010 20:13:32 +0000 http://www.shredoptics.com/?p=1616#comment-70 I'm thrilled to see this video because it tells me that humanity is still striving. The fact that stunt men have died in the past is tragic but is not new, nor is it news. I see this a greater than a mere stunt anyway, it will, by its very performance, test humanity's ability to innovate, change, and grow. To indict "PR" here is an egregious libel. When PR tells us of an achievement, even when a private company is sponsoring it, it's a useful tool, not exploitation, as is being implied.
