1960 Joeseph Kittinger: 102,800 ft. http://www.parachutehistory.com/skydive/records/highalt/index.html http://www.parachutehistory.com/skydive/records/highalt/index.html *A jump from 102,800 feet by U.S. Col. Joseph Kittinger in 1960 was disqualified by the FAI, because he used a stabilizing drogue. http://www.uspa.org/competition/records.htm It is still a record! Here is something interesting. Highest Fall Survived Without A Parachute Vesna Vulovic, a flight attendant from Yugoslavia, survived a fall from 10,160 m (33,330 ft) when the DC-9 airplane she was traveling in blew up over Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic), on January 26, 1972. A terrorist bomb was thought to be the cause, and no other passengers survived. Vesna broke both legs and was temporarily paralyzed from the waist down. Longest Delayed Skydive The longest delayed skydive was made by Capt. Joseph W. Kittinger, who dropped 25,820 m (84,700 ft) from a balloon at Tularosa, New Mexico, USA, on August 16, 1960. He fell for 4 min 37 sec before his parachute was deployed automatically. Mar 11 06, 10:55 AM
