It was amazing."Ĭlick below to watch headcam footage of Felix's incredible leap into the history books. 69.5K subscribers In 2014, engineer and stratospheric explorer Alan Eustace ascended via balloon to the stratosphere and then took a freefall plunge of more than 135,000 feet. "I said I wish they would see what I see. "On the step, I felt that the whole world is watching," Felix said following the jump. However, Colonel Joe Kittinger's record of 4 minutes and 36 seconds for the longest ever freefall which was set in 1960 eluded Felix, with the Austrian recording a shorter freefall time of 4 minutes and 20 seconds. In a nice piece of serendipity, Felix's incredible sky dive came on the same day as the 65th anniversary of another pioneering aerospace event - Chuck Yeager's flight in the experimental Bell X1 in 1947 which set the world record for the first ever supersonic flight. Guinness World Records officials were on the ground at the attempt site in Roswell, with Felix presented with a GWR certificate to mark his achievement following his safe return to earth. The adventurer plummeted to earth with an attributed speed of 833.9mph (1,343km/h), hitting Mach 1.24.It took nine minutes for him to reach the ground. The attempt saw Felix jump from a capsule taken to the centre of the stratosphere above New Mexico by a giant helium balloon. More than eight million people tuned in online to watch the feat, also setting a new record for the most concurrent views of a live stream on YouTube.
The 43-year-old also set new records for the highest freefall parachute jump (both FAI-sanctioned and unsanctioned), the highest vertical speed in freefall and the greatest freefall distance. The aerospace pioneer, aided by the Red Bull Stratos team, tested the physical limits of mankind yesterday, when he became the first person to break the sound barrier in freefall. Locations: Located at The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Skypod just north of the intersection of the Vegas Strip and Sahara Avenue.
