The History of the World's Highest Jump

[@EmperorLemon]

First I'd like to thank Keeps for sponsoring this video. keeps.com/emplemon I've also included a list of references/links in the description if you'd like to learn more about this topic. I must admit that there will certainly be record-holders I have missed. I tried my best, but information before 1950 is quite spotty and hard to find. There could easily be documentation of other record-holders tucked away in an obscure newspaper or book, and maybe in time we will find them. For now, this is the only comprehensive list of the world's highest jump. Prior to making this video I could not find one that covered before Joe Kittinger. Hope you guys enjoy! Edit: I apologize to my metric viewers for using imperial units, but two-thirds of my audience is from the US, and I felt that including the conversions for so many numbers would make everything a visual mess. For this one you'll have to bare with me and divide by 3.

God damn it, I was so emotionally invested in the whole Felix arc: after 50 years of failed attempts, broken dreams and daredevils on the edge of glory, the record still stood, high and mighty. The skies had proven to be an unbearable trial of courage for most jumpers. But not all of them. There was still one, the one with a fearless heart and determined spirit. A man of sheer fucking will. And not only that, but he was standing on the shoulders of the great Joe Kittinger himself. He had passed his wisdom to Felix and it was now time to shatter the frontier that had broken so many before him. Each test, each attempt was one step closer to the ultimate goal. Then, the time had come. Felix was in position, standing on the edge of the world, admiring what he had worked so hard for. The stakes where high, and, with the hopes and dreams of mankind weighing down on his shoulders, he took the leap. People would then be subjected to the longest five minutes in existance, silently witnessing as the man came thundering down from the heavens above, uncertain of what the next moments would bring. But he did it. Felix had written history. At last, after half a century of heartbreak and sorrow, he had he obliterated the record that had chained humanity for so long. He was a hero. And Kittinger, after finally passing the mantle to a new generation, he could finally rest... And then like the most random of dudes, a computer scientist that didn't even have skydiving experience, the god damn Gary Stu of skydivers just swoops down and yoinks the record on his first try. Like... what?? Not hating on the guy btw, nothing but mad respect for him. I just think the whole thing is kinda funny.

Software engineers, like any other kind of engineer, find a problem they want to solve and then analyze the exact minimum requirements to solve it effectively. A lot of the people (not including the government programs of course) attempting this jump height record weren't really engineers themselves, they'd just gotten help from engineers with certain things. Eustace, being an engineer and having some money, figured out exactly what requirements he would have to solve and solved them before making any attempts, thus saving him from a bunch of expensive experimentation and securing his victory.

I still remember Felix's jump like it was yesterday. I had a regatta the same day with my rowing team when a teammate took out his phone and showed everyone the livestream. As a middle school kid, I wasn't really able to grasp how ambitious the jump was at the time. I ended being far more impressed with the fact that I was in a tent along a river with seemingly no internet access and was witnessing an event happening live thousands of feet up on the other side of the country.

This is aviation in a nutshell. Famed aviator Tex Johnston did a barrel roll in a Boeing 707, for most pilots a kind of maneuver like that in an airliner is unfathomable. Then a couple years ago Richard Russell, a grounds crew guy who had no prior flying experience beyond “video games” did the same thing when he stole a Q400, and before unfortunately killing himself afterwards. A lot of the time with aviation records it’s more a challenge of whose got the bigger balls than who has the most skill. Or as test pilots call it, “pushing the envelope”.

[@dathaniel9403]

"For most of us, that number never exceeds a few feet." It's funny that despite being a paratrooper for years, my record of 15,000ft was done as a civilian. Most of my military jumps were from 600-800ft. 15,000ft sounds scarier but actually it's way safer. At 600ft you don't have any time to correct mistakes or problems.

[@spudeleven5124]

Never made a military jump and only jumped a round canopy once, but as a sport jumper did 30k from the Mullins King Air (WFFC 2005)

[@JohanMood]

Yhe people always asks me what the highest i've jumped from, never how low i've gone. At a certain point Base jumps are basically only mountain skydives with a lot of room for error, when at a certain low point you don't have any margins at all. This is my lowest jump i ever made at 124 feet, didn't even pop my brakes. I've friends who've gone lower but cant find their video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3SVdXVshq6kg6c And btw this is me knowingly the lowest skydive, which is ballsy in its own way considering the gear: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gobFp6aOfN6lepI

[@r0cketplumber]

@@JohanMood I was invited to jump from the Royal Gorge Bridge in 1980, but did a gut check and decided I wasn't skilled enough at the time- I think I had less than thirty jumps at the time. 124 feet? Wouldn't it be easier to just set up a stuntman's airbag? The lowest I ever jumped was 885 feet on the Skyjump abseil off the Stratosphere Tower in Vegas. That was the closest I ever got to a base jump, it's cheating since there's no canopy to deploy, but 18 seconds top to bottom is still a pretty good rush.

[@erictheepic5019]

If you're willing to stretch the definition of 'pressure suit' a bit, there may lie a bigger record to be set; a jump from orbit. There once existed project MOOSE, standing for 'Man Out Of Space Easiest'. It was an experimental look at how to prevent an astronaut from being stranded in orbit. It would have consisted of a large solid rocket motor, a large polyester bag, canisters filled with expanding foam, and a parachute. The solid rocket motor would be used by the astronaut to de-orbit themselves, and then the bag (which the astronaut would be inside of) would be filled with the expanding foam to form a crude heatshield. After reentry, the astronaut would deploy the parachute, and what was left of the charred foam would cushion the impact. 'Easiest' quickly becomes the operative word when looking at the design, but simultaneously becomes almost sarcastic when it comes to the fear that would come with using such a system.
