Rekod Dunia Terjunan Udara Felix Baumgartner

Rekod!

Setelah gagal dalam cubaan pertama disebabkan cuaca yang tidak mengizinkan, hari ini 15 Oktober 2012 antara pukul 1 pagi hingga 2 pagi waktu Malaysia, Felix Baumgarnter telah berjaya terjun daripada kedudukan 127,900 kaki daripada darat. Felix Baumgartner (43)  telah berjaya merekodkan nama rekod dunia melakukan terjunan tertinggi dunia dan pada masa yang sama menjadi manusia pertama melakukan terjunan pada kelajuan supersonik. Terjunan tersebut mencapai kelajuan sehingga 980 kilometer sejam. Ini sangat gila bagi penerjun biasa! Felix Baumgartner juga pernah mencatat rekod di Malaysia. Nak tahu kena baca lagi. 

Untuk pengetahuan korang, penerjun udara biasanya terjun pada altitud sehingga 4600 meter dan jatuh pada kelajuan lebih daripada 160 kilometer sejam. Mereka mengembangkan payung terjun pada altitud 600 meter hingga 900 meter dan kemudian meluncur ke bumi pada kelajuan kira-kira 16 kilometer sejam.
