Austrian basejumper Felix Baumgartner has succeeded in jumping from a helium balloon nearly 90,000 feet off the ground and landing near Roswell in New Mexico.
Baumgartner, is making final preparations to break the record held by skydiving legend Joe Kittinger, a retired U.S. Air Force colonel. Kittinger’s record for free-falling from 102,800 feet, or more than 19 miles has been revered in the aviation community since it was set in 1960. At the time, no one knew whether a human could survive such a leap.
I can just imagine how crazy some people could be, these people are adrenaline junkies for real.
