A HALO (High Altitude, Low Opening) skydive from 30,600 feet was my adventure for 2004. I became the 7th civilian ever to jump out of a plane from this altitude. The experience was arranged by Incredible Adventures, a company in Florida who will make your heart's desires come true!

  • The Coast Guard HALO jumpers are no joke.

  • I have the highest respect for the Coast Guard; they got me down safely from 30,600 feet!

  • fuck wmg there wankers for that copyright crap

  • Yea, that is crap and it ruined the entire video by taking ALL the sound out, not just the music.

  • hey buddy your the man

    question. at that altitude what is the.

    temp?

    free fall time?

    speed"

  • At our 30,679 feet exit, it was 29 degrees below zero, free-fall time of 2 minutes and 19 seconds, the jumpmaster told me we reached maximum speed of 190 mph. Didn't feel that fast at that altitude--only like flying. When we reached the atmosphere there was an immediate slowing down and warm air! We popped the chute at 5,000 feet.

  • Who esle through it was Halo the game?

  • @steamingpoopfart

    also dont forget the air is thinner up there so terminal velocity will be greater due to decreased air resistance.

  • @steamingpoopfart watch the joe kittinger jump

  • @steamingpoopfart WTF are you talking about?

  • What does the cold high altitude air feel like on exposed skin? I would think your neck would get frost bite.

  • aww wow the music and sound just added to the intensity ... jus made the build up even better@cardiffguy85

  • How is that possible? you can weigh 50,000 pounds and u wont fall faster then 125 mph

  • @steamingpoopfart

    Terminal velocity of a human is 117-125mph in the layout position. terminal velocity speeds can reach up to 210mph, If the dive position is used.

    Therefore, the aerodynamics/surface area of an object greatly affects the terminal velocity. along with the Atmospheric levels, quailitie of air, and even barometric pressure.
