Felix Baumgartner is an Austrian skydiver, daredevil and BASE jumper. He set world records for skydiving an estimated 39 km , reaching an estimated speed of 1,357.64 km h , or Mach 1.25, on 14 October 2012, and became the first person to break the sound barrier without vehicular power on his descent. He broke skydiving records for exit altitude, vertical freefall distance without drogue, and vertical speed without drogue. Though he still holds the latter records, the first was broken two years later, when on 24 October 2014, Alan Eustace jumped from 135,890 feet - or, 41.42 km with a drogue.
