On 16-Aug-1960, Captain Joseph Kittinger of the US Air Force parachuted from a helium balloon at an altitude of 102,800 ft (19.5 miles / 31,354m) setting three world records; the highest parachute jump, the longest free fall (85,300 ft in 4 mins 36 seconds) and the first person to break the speed of sound without an aircraft (714 mph).
What's the lowest height you can parachute from? What's the lowest height you can parachute from? A near suicidal 100ft (30m) seems to be about the limit. Which makes the 185ft of Nelson's column that stuntman Gary Connery parachuted from in protest last week almost an easy ride. While soldiers of the parachute regiment balk at exiting a plane below 250ft, those involved in an extreme form of parachuting called base jumping regularly leap from further down.
