Austrian daredevil Felix Baumgartner is on badass thrill-seeker. Where the act of jumping out of a perfectly good plane in the the name of fun is considered lunacy by many (myself included), Baumgartner took his game to a whole nother level, literally and figuratively, as he completed the wolds highest skydive from the edge of space… SPACE! The 37km drop (thats 5km short of a marathon) took 10 minutes, in which time Baumgartner broke not one, but three world records.
With the highest altitude skydive in the bag, Baumgartner also nailed the longest free-fall without a parachute and fastest fall achieved during a skydive where broke the sound barrier as clocking up speeds of around 1342km/h.
Beugmgartner is a ‘crazy shit’ specialist with the world’s lowest BASE jump from the hand of the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro and the first skydive across the English Channel among his accomplishments. What’s next? I don’t even want to know.
