[fornadablog.blogspot.com], Felix Baumgartner's record-setting free fall will test limits of human body - The Bell Jar
Felix Baumgartner will jump from a helium-filled balloon 120,000 feet above the ground, wearing nothing but a special suit.
Felix Baumgartner’s record-setting skydive has been postponed, but when he does attempt to free fall back to Earth he will likely test the limits of the human body.
Red Bull Stratos, which announced Friday that the jump by extreme athlete, has been moved from Monday to Tuesday due to a cold front moving through the area that brought about gusting winds.
Mr. Baumgartner will on Tuesday attempt to fall back to Earth after floating upwards, jumping from a balloon-hoisted capsule at an altitude of 23 miles. The fall is expected to take nearly half an hour, and it will be broadcast live from a webcam on Mr. Baumgartner’s helmet. he will make the leap over the southeastern New Mexico town of Roswell.
The jump will provide Mr. Baumgartner with a chance to become the first human to break the sound barrier. It will also present him with a number of potential demises, one of which include his blood boiling.
“His blood could boil. His lungs could overinflate. The vessels in his brain could burst. His eyes could hemorrhage. And, yes, he could break his neck while jumping from a mind-boggling altitude of 23 miles,†the Associated Press reported.
The 43-year-old former military parachutist from Austria is hoping to reach 690 mph, or Mach 1, after leaping from the balloon. Speaking before the jump, the daredevil seemed calm.
“So many unknowns,†Mr. Baumgartner said, “but we have solutions to survive.â€
The jump is an effort to break a free-fall world record of more than 19 miles, or 102,800 feet, set by Air Force test pilot Joe Kittinger in 1960. The endeavor, called Stratos, is funded by the energy drink company Red Bull. The company has paid millions of dollars to Southern California aerospace companies to pull it off, but won’t say how much.
