On 16-Aug-1960, Captain Joseph Kittinger of the US Air Force parachuted from a helium balloon at an altitude of 102,800 ft (19.5 miles / 31,354m) setting three world records; the highest parachute jump, the longest free fall (85,300 ft in 4 mins 36 seconds) and the first person to break the speed of sound without an aircraft (714 mph).
We know for certain a person can survive a fall of at least 20,000 feet. Thatâs how far up World War II pilot Alan Magee was when he had to abandon his plane without a parachute. He crashed through a glass roof that likely helped spread out the impact.
