It took more than two hours to hit an altitude of 135,890 feet (41,419 metres), where he separated himself from the balloon and started plummeting back to Earth. Eustace hit a top speed of 822mph during a freefall that lasted four-and-a-half minutes. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/25/science/alan-eustace-jumps-from-stratosphere-breaking-felix-baumgartners-world-record.html?_r=0">New York Times (contains video clip)</a>: For a little over two hours, the balloon ascended at speeds up to 1,600 feet per minute to an altitude of more than 25 miles. Mr. Eustace dangled underneath in a specially designed spacesuit with an elaborate life-support system. He returned to earth just 15 minutes after starting his fall. <a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/10/24/google_vp_alan_eustace_breaks_felix_baumgartner_s_red_bull_sponsored_stratosphere.html">Slate</a>: Eustace fell farther than Baumgartner but at a slower speed of 822 mph. But he still broke the sound barrier, and observers reported hearing the sonic boom. He also did two backflips before using a parachute to steady himself. <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2014/10/24/7062023/alan-eustace-google-vp-free-fall-parachute-jump-world-record">Verge</a>: Eustace apparently declined Google's offers to help, seeking to avoid the spectacle and frenzy that surrounded Baumgartner's jump. Instead, he worked quietly for three years on the self-funded project - outside of Google's halls - to make his mark and shatter the altitude record by falling from the stratosphere. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Eustace">Wikipedia</a>: As a university student, Eustace worked part-time selling popcorn and ice cream in Fantasyland and working on the monorail at Walt Disney World. <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/120456/Up-up-and-away-in-my-beautiful-Red-Bull-balloon">Previously on MetaFilter</a>, and also <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/91960/Whoopsgle#3090553">previously on MetaFilter</a>. </description> <guid isPermaLink="false">tag:metafilter.com,2014:site.143905</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 25 Oct 2014 00:31:48 -0800</pubDate> <dc:creator>Wordshore</dc:creator> </item> <item> <title>A tandem jump, an accident, and a bond that will last forever.</title> <link>http://www.metafilter.com/141562/A%2Dtandem%2Djump%2Dan%2Daccident%2Dand%2Da%2Dbond%2Dthat%2Dwill%2Dlast%2Dforever</link> <description><a href="http://www.si.com/edge/2014/07/28/skydiving-accident-unifies-pair-forever">There are thousands of things that can go wrong during a sky dive.</a> Usually, Dave Hartsock packed his own parachute. He could just about do it with his eyes shut: straighten the lines, roll the canopy, fold in the outside, press out the excess air, then crease it into a package and carefully place the fabric in the deployment bag. That was for solo jumps, though. Leading tandem sky dives was different. The canopies were so big, and the pressure so great to move one load of customers after another, that instructors rarely packed their own chutes. And this Saturday afternoon, Aug. 1, 2009, was crazy as always. For the crew at the Skydive Houston drop zone in Waller County, Texas, it was all they could do to get customers up and back down in time to keep up with demand. Dave had made his first jump at 9 a.m. and five more since. Now, at 4 p.m., he was getting ready to clock out for the day when Todd Bell, the drop-zone manager, approached. Do us a solid, he said. Can you take up one more jumper? Dave was tired and sweating intensely; the Texas air was still above 100º, even late in the afternoon. But he was game. He took a slug from a bottle of Gatorade, grabbed a pre-packed parachute off the wall peg and turned to his final jumper of the day, a blonde, grandmotherly type. With his broad shoulders and close-cropped brown hair, Dave could be imposing. Which is why, as always, he deployed his best smile upon meeting the customer. The smile told her that she could relax. That he had this. That everything was going to be O.K. <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/heroic-skydiving-instructor-saves-life/">Video</a> from CBS Evening News.<a href="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/06/02/872215/-A-true-hero-David-Hartsock-quadriplegic-after-saving-grandmother">More</a>, from DailyKos. </description> <guid isPermaLink="false">tag:metafilter.com,2014:site.141562</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 01 Aug 2014 15:37:18 -0800</pubDate> <dc:creator>ApathyGirl</dc:creator> </item> <item> <title>Skydiver meets meteorite</title> <link>http://www.metafilter.com/137974/Skydiver%2Dmeets%2Dmeteorite</link> <description><a href="http://www.nrk.no/viten/skydiver-nearly-struck-by-meteorite-1.11646757">Norwegian skydiver nearly struck by meteorite.</a> Although Helstrup is still not completely convinced that it was indeed a meteorite that flew past him, the experts are in no doubt. "It can't be anything else. The shape is typical of meteorites – a fresh fracture surface on one side, while the other side is rounded," said geologist Hans Amundsen, "It has never happened before that a meteorite has been filmed during dark flight; this is the first time in world history."

Expecting to free fall and then pop their chutes at 3,000 feet, after passing through the clouds at 4,000 feet, they instead plunged into Lake Erie, five miles from shore. FAA rules then and now <a href="http://weather.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=weather&cdn=education&tm=31&gps=156_1494_1020_513&f=10&tt=2&bt=1&bts=1&zu=http%3A//www.uspa.org/publications/SIM/2007SIM/Quiz/CatDQuiz.htm">bar skydiving through clouds</a>, for obvious reasons. The plane's pilot wasn't rated to fly the craft but he also received bad information about his location from an air traffic controller in Oberlin: the controller mistook a Cessna observing the jump from a couple of miles away for the B-25. Two skydivers, one of whom had used his Styrofoam-lined helmet as a flotation device, were saved from the waters by a passing boater; 16 skydivers drowned. Oddly, one skydiver had told people the night before that, given a choice, he would take <a href="http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=776784#776300">drowning as the way to go</a>. He did not survive.
