First Head Cam Video of Felix Baumgartner Supersonic Space Jump Falling At Mach 1.24
October 15, 2012 – Here is video of the actual jump and near out of control spin as Felix Baumgartner becomes the first man on earth to break the speed of sound as he dives to earth at 834 M.P.H.
“There was a time I really thought I was in trouble. I had to decide to fight all the way down and I finally got stable.
That spin became so violent it was hard to know how to get out of it. I was able to get it under control and break the speed of sound.
I could feel myself break the speed of sound. I could feel the air building up and then I hit it.”*—Felix Baumgartner
I find this story frightening in a way only a person afraid of heights can be. I admired his ability to do what others might consider to be certain death.
