some guy is going up a few more meters with way better technology and a redbull sponsor. cheers to the men like Joseph Kittinger who did it just because it was there.
"Competition speed skydivers fly in the head down position and reach even higher speeds. The current world record is 614 mph (988 km/h) by Joseph Kittinger, set at high altitude where the lesser density of the atmosphere decreased drag.[2]"
This video shows a man skydiving from outer space into the ocean which segues into Laird Hamilton surfing all set to music from Dredg....and it only has 38,000 views.
Whoever made this video did a really good job! I like how the slow mo scenes really mesh with the flow of the music. Dredge is amazing! They put on a great live show, although you may have to put up with the ridonculously bad Sun Bears. Yes, I do realize ridonculously is not a word. It's a sniglet. That's how bad they are. Normal words cannot describe them.

I've been listening to death metal for forever, rarely listening to much else (aside from polka and j-rock) Never have I met a band that was as artistic and creative as these guys.
great song, this song is my favorite from them, and i don't think that it is true about the guy falling a speed of 600+ miles per hour, that's way past terminal velocity, sorry to get nerdy, but that's what i think and believe, but overall it's a great song very chill, Dredg FTW!!!
@kaneumann On August 16, 1960, he made the final jump from the Excelsior III at 102,800 feet (31,300 m).[2] Towing a small drogue parachute for initial stabilization, he fell for four minutes and 36 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 614 miles per hour (988 km/h)[3][4] before opening his parachute at 18,000 feet (5,500 m).......Per Wikipedia
terminal velocity changes when you change your angle, he was pointing face down when he hit 614 mph, terminal velocity for a flat and stable fall is roughly 120 mph. (terminal velocity also changes for shape and weight of an item)
god, i totally wanna do what he did at some point in my life, he almost broke the sound barrier with his freakin' body!
@neverlastingworld Drag due to wind resistance would be almost non-existant at that altitude. Don't quote me. This would be Vt = sqrt(2mg/pACd) Where Cd is the drag coefficient.
Just to clarify, because he jumped from such high altitude the atmosphere will be much thinner (resistance will be far less) compared to a jump at a lower height. This will enable him to reach a higher velocity not possible in the lower atmosphere. Through his decent the atmosphere will become denser, so he would infact decelerate towards the conventional terminal velocity you discused. Dredg rule!!!!
@neverlastingworld No it is true man... He was falling at one of the furthest parts of our worlds atmosphere... In an interview he said because there was no wind and no real air up there he couldn't tell he was falling.. truely bizzare....
@neverlastingworld terminal velocity is not a constant in an atmosphere because of wind resistance, therefore it has to do with surface area and air pressure. and im not sorry to get nerdy
It's because in the outer atmosphere there's no wind resistance and thus, gravity compounds its effects. It keeps pulling without something working against it, similar to how the event horizon of a black hole would work. You're falling at 150mph, but gravity is still pulling you and without anything resisting it, like full rich air, it'll continue to draw you in. You're right to wonder how it all works out. That must've been some suit too, to survive that.

@neverlastingworld the height from which he jumped he was technically outside the atmosphere, or at least in the outermost thinnest layers, in which case he COULD fall 600+ miles an hour because terminal velocity is reached when acceleration is stopped due to atmospheric friction. in his case there was no atmosphere to create friction so he could fall as fast as he damn well pleased
At that height, the atmosphere wouldn't produce enough drag to slow him. He said he felt like he was floating at first until the air started rushing past him. He slowed down to terminal velocity once he hit lower altitude.
@neverlastingworld terminal velocity is a product of air friction. there is barely any air in the upper stratosphere. hence his massive velocity. freshman physics. newton's second law type stuff.
@neverlastingworld The atmosphere is thinner the further out you are from the earth. The less atmosphere the faster you can fall because there is less fluid friction through air. Its possible to fall over 600 mph to the earth its just that you have to be dropped at a higher altitude.
@neverlastingworld All that is great, but I believe it to be very true. How do I know, because at the time this was made in the 60's you could not make such a video with the special effects that you had. This looks one hundred percent real. Not even today with cgi could you make it look so real. You made know about science, but I know about movies. No way the had the technology to pull off something that looks this real back in the 60's.
@neverlastingworld Haha, well terminal velocity is caused by drag force upwards equaling the downward gravitational force. Since the atmosphere is much less dense higher up, it takes greater speeds to reach terminal velocity (yes, that much of a difference!) You're right, terminal is something like ~250mph for a streamlined (like a pencil) man at sea level, but it greatly increases the higher you go.
@neverlastingworld Terminal velocity changes depending on where you are in the sky. In the thinner the terminal velocity is higher. Whereas, at the level where people normally jump you can reach speeds of around 150mph
This is freaking awesome!!! Awesome Video + one of my favourite songs - audiovisual orgasm or something ;) can't put this in words really... *bookmarked* :)
This song is hypnotizing, mesmorizong, and fluid. The video is a perfect marriage for this timeless song. Bravo to the one that created it.
