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).
BASE jumping, also sometimes written as B.A.S.E. jumping, is parachuting or wingsuit flying from a fixed structure or cliff. BASE is an acronym that stands for four categories of fixed objects from which one can jump: building, antenna, span, and Earth (cliff). On August 26, 1992 Nic Feteris and Glenn Singleman (two Australians) made a BASE jump from an altitude of 20,600 feet (6286 meters) jump off Great Trango Towers Pakistan. 2  It was the world's highest BASE jump off the earth at the time.
