Geez, what a champ. Not much variation and he wouldn't have had a chance.

It amazes me that they cut it so close when variations in air pressure and thermals can turn a safe route into a deadly one. Do they even take these kinds of considerations? Also, how the hell do they map out a route in the first place?
