Highest parachute drop

thts crazy

He traveled at over 600 miles per hour and holds the record for fastest flight without an airplane, longest free fall of 4.9 minutes and highest drop.These records have held for over 40 years.

0:25 - Jumps out and goes in to orbit...

I dunno man...I don't want to call fake, but from THAT altitude...how did he no burn up in the earths atmosphere?

@voltshock99

Because he was not going fast enough. When satellites reenter Earth's atmosphere, they are going many times faster than he was. Also, even though he jumped from the edge of space, the atmosphere was still quite thick at his altitude. This meant that the atmosphere gradually slowed him down. Satellites enter the atmosphere in just seconds, causing lots of drag.

Okay, I guess that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

31km upwards

I woulda just tucked my arms in and gone SOOOOOOOO fast.

and u would have burned up soooooooooooooo fast! ROFL THAT BE COOL

yeah no shit. i got to meet the man about 10 years ago and the only injuries he got was his right glove depressurized and his hand swelled up.
