SuperBowl has been the most lucrative ad-spot in the United States for many years, known for its highest TRPs and naturally insanely priced ad-slots. The massive event is usually full of noteworthy or weird ads, depending on how you see it, and companies try to capture the little time they get on one of the biggest country wide sporting events. This time, amongst many, GoPro, the popular adventure camera manufacturer, has released its ad, featuring Felix Baumgartner’s stratospheric jump. The mission, called “Red Bull Stratos” was a hugely popular stunt featuring the Austrian man, who survived a 24 mile high free fall from near-outer-space. The event, captured by GoPro cameras, is the company’s stab at the SuperBowl spot, watch it here –

While the spot plays for only a minute, GoPro has also released an extended version, which shows the pure exhilaration and risk that Baumgartner experiences, through his journey into Earth from outer space.

Insane, right? GoPro’s cameras have shown us what is really possible if we wear cameras all over our body, especially when sky diving. Kidding aside, the GoPros are really nice adventurous cameras and are possibly fit for the adventurer in you, and we think its Superbowl commercial establishes it very well. Anyways, watch the 8 minute video without further ado, it’s entertaining without doubt.
