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).
Victor Kovats found with a smashed skull at the foot of a 100-meter (328-foot) cliff in China. It's thought his parachute failed to deploy after a wingsuit flight, though an investigation is underway. Kovats was to compete in the second World Wingsuit Championships.
