Not at 40,000 m. I found this article
|
||
(http://www.wired.com/news/print/0,1294,53928,00.html) :
|
||
|
||
"The last person to try to break the highest free fall record died in
|
||
the attempt. In 1965, New Jersey truck driver Nick Piantanida suffered
|
||
catastrophic equipment failure when his facemask blew out at 57,000
|
||
feet. Lack of oxygen caused such severe brain damage that he went into a
|
||
coma and died four months later."
|
||
|
||
And in amongst the flash at
|
||
http://www.legrandsaut.org/site_en/
|
||
|
||
you can discover that he will break the sound barrier at 35,000 m,
|
||
presumably reaching top speed somewhere above 30,000.
