Is there a way that you can tell if the suit is pressurized that I cannot?
Yeah, the creases give it away quite easily.
Oh, so you think that the outermost layer of his suit is what keeps him pressurized? That's so cute.
Suit: It has four layers. The outer layer is made of Nomex, a fire-retardant material that will also act as an insulator. Under the Nomex is a mesh restraint, which holds a gas-filled bladder. The innermost layer is a breathable liner. Once pressurized, the suit will become rigid. Its vertical orientation will help Baumgartner maintain delta position (head down, feet up) throughout his free fall—crucial if he is to avoid a flat spin.
I don't think I ever made that assumption.
Let me clarify.
I don't care how many layers of cloth there is. There is a bladder that is pressurised and the material will stop that pressure from over-expanding the suit.
Here's a copy and paste from how it works.
The space suit provides air pressure to keep the fluids in your body in a liquid state -- in other words, to prevent your bodily fluids from boiling. Like a tire, a space suit is essentially an inflated balloon that is restricted by some rubberized fabric, in this case, Neoprene-coated fibers. The restriction placed on the "balloon" portion of the suit supplies air pressure on the astronaut inside, like blowing up a balloon inside a cardboard tube.
