Has he jumped yet ?
Felix Baumgartner, a 43-year-old helicopter pilot, hot-air balloonist and professional skydiver, would break a longstanding altitude record and the sound barrier if the jump goes forward
Surely its the World's longest fall. It can't be a jump. You can only jump UP

I've jumped down a flight of stairs before?

Apparently he's jumping FORWARD.
you're quite right. Can't dispute that he will be leaving an elevated location
2.(intransitive) To cause oneself to leave an elevated location and fall downward.
She is going to jump from the diving board.

It's a bit dull. You'd think they'd fill the screen with something to keep us occupied.
Personally I think he's mad and I just hope he survives.
Reminded me of this old playground song...
He jumped from 40 thousand feet without a parachute
He jumped from 40 thousand feet without a parachute
He jumped from 40 thousand feet without a parachute
And he ain't gonna jump no more!
Glory, glory what a helluva way to die!
Glory, glory what a helluva way to die!
Glory, glory what a helluva way to die!
And he ain't gonna jump no more!
They scraped him off the runway like a lump of strawberry jam, (x3)
And he ain't gonna jump no more!
They put him in a matchbox and they sent him home to Mum, (x3)
And he ain't gonna jump no more!
She put him on the mantelpiece for everyone to see, (x3)
And he ain't gonna jump no more!
Let's hope he ain't in a matchbox by 6.30pm!

At what point does it stop being amazing and daring, and start being funny?
When he remembers he hasn't packed the parachute.

It's usually not the jump that kills you but the landing. In this case could be either!

Has he made the ascent yet? Apparently takes 2 and a half hours to reach where he will jump from.

No, just a crane holding up his capsule. The baloon's not inflated at all. Watch it live here.
