Joseph Kittinger actually jumped from the stratosphere.  It was part of something called Project Excelsior to test a multi-stage parachute system for high-altitude ejections.  \n\nOn his third test jump he jumped from 102,800 feet (31,300 m), or almost 20 miles.\n\nPretty crazy, huh?\n\nFor more info see the Wikipedia article below:

The world record for the high jump is 2.45 meters or 8.03 feet.  The highest aided jump, (Pole Vault) is 20.14 feet or 6.14 meters.

Olympic High Jumpers is NOT the correct answer and this is why...\n\nHigh Jumpers jump off ONE LEG and they do not jump vertically but rather more of an arcing motion.\n\nThe two people that come to mind are:\n\nSpud Webb -- he was 5'8" and could dunk 360°. Over a 50" vertical leap\nMichael Wilson -- he is known to have dunked on a 12' basketball rim.\n\nIn terms of HANG TIME . . . no one did it better than Michael Jordan.

well he did jump over a 7 foot guy. so yea thats high. in order to do that u have to be 20yrs or older. and train ur thighs and calf muscles up.

well, the current record for the highest balloon flight is held by 2 US navy guys:\nhttp://records.fai.org/balloons/absolute.asp\n\ni would think that would be the highest ever flight without a "machine".. tho they weren't colonels, since the navy doesn't have the rank of colonel.\n\nyou might also be thinking of this guy, joe kittinger, who was an air force captain who holds the world record for skydive height, having jumped from a balloon at 102,000 feet.\nhttp://www.centennialofflight.gov/essay/Explorers_Record_Setters_and_Daredevils/Kittinger/EX31.htm\nhttp://home.att.net/~1.elliott/JOEKITTINGER.HTML

wow ive done a lot of crazy things...but prolly the most crazy is base jumping in colorado...nothing like a base jump to scare the shit outta you...but then there was the time i was paddling in a raft w/ my friends in lake ontario...and a barge went by and almost flipped us and my dumbass friend dropped the paddle, so we wer stuck in the middle of lake ontario with 3 ham sandwiches for 7 hours...wen we wer finall picked up...we had drifted almost 17 miles!!! it was so far because we had been paddling w/ our hands in the direction we thought was right...but was the total opposite way...that was pretty crazy...

I have jumped static, freefall and AFF (accelerated Freefall) including one over the North Pole out of the back of a jet.\n\nThe flight up isn't too bad although, I wont lie to you, you will be scared ... the few seconds to the door are pretty nerve-wracking but once you are out (and past the sensory overload) you will be amazed.\n\nNot sure what type of skydive you are thinking about - for a first time jumper your choices are really a static line from pretty low (2000 ft ish) or a tandem (from c15,000 with a c50 sec free-fall). Both have their advantages but the freefall is probably what you want to feel.\n\nIf you freefall (most likely tandem for a first jump but you can do AFF)there is little or no sensation of falling but rather just being blasted in a strong (upward) wind. Pay the extra for a video of the jump - you wont regret it.\n\nIf you need any more info drop me a note.\n\n\nBlue Skies =8-)

some guy and really far

Join the Army and become a paratrooper.  Not many things out there more riskier than jumping from a plane while in flight.

Ambigious question.  Do you mean the AeroCommander 680?  Maximum take-off what - airspeed, distance?  This is an old aircraft.  The one I flew would come off the deck at around 95 mph, and use perhaps 1200 feet of runway to do it.

The record for manned flight is :\n"The official air speed record is 2,193.167 mph by Capt. Eldon W. Joersz in a Lockheed SR-71A"\n\nhttp://www.sr-71.org/blackbird/records.htm

The highest fllying recorded so for is - a griffon. See below more details:\nthe mid 1980's was a Ruppell's griffon, an African vulture, struck by an airliner at 37,000 feet.\nAnother vulture, a lammergeyer was seen over "its mountain home" at 25,000 feet over Mt. Everest; alpine choughs have been recorded nesting at 27,000 feet on Mt. Everest. A mallard was struck by an airliner at 21,000 feet over Nevada. Records of smaller birds, also from hitting airplanes, are mostly\nfrom 7,000 to 12,000 feet. See Terres, Audubon Society Encyclopedia of North American Birds.\nVR

well let's look at it this way:  he once jumped OVER a 7-foot (84 inches) man to dunk.  assuming vince is 6'6" (78 inches), let's call the distance from the bottom of his shoes to his groin a little over 3 feet (38-40 inches?).  That would mean he can jump roughly 44-46 inches.  This isn't a vertical leap though, but I would guesstimate that his vertical is around 40-41 inches.

Hope this helps...\n\nThe highest altitude obtained by a manned air-breathing jet propelled aircraft following an uncontrolled ballistic trajectory is 123,523 feet (37,650 m) set by Alexandr Fedotov, in a Mikoyan Gurevitch E-266M (MiG-25M), on 31st August 1977.\n\nThe highest altitude obtained by a manned air-breathing jet propelled aircraft in controlled horizontal flight is 85,069 feet (25,929 m) set by Robert C. Helt and Larry A. Elliott, in a Lockheed SR-71, on 27th/28th July 1976.

No but to some extent the sensation depends on the jump.\n\nA static line jump is a burst of wind, noise, flapping, followed by silence under canopy (most folks don't consider this skydiving);\n\nA free fall jump (assuming one long enough to get to terminal velocity) feels like you are lying into a very strong upward wind.  As you have no frame of reference visually there is no real 'falling' sensation even, oddly, as you first leave the plane (and in certain exit positions you can see it).\n\nIf you are jumping with other folks you will still not get that feeling as they are falling at the same speed relative to you and appear to just float (or fly)  around you.  As you are pulling at +2000ft you you will, in my experience, only experience a kind of ground-spread where things do get closer but the movement appears far more like hedge lines and buildings moving outward from the centre of your vision.\n\nThe only exception to this was when I had to cut-away a malfunctioning reserve canopy back into freefall - there was a definite falling sensation but I was back under (reserve) canopy a few seconds later.  I can distinctly remember falling away from other folks under their canopies.\n\nIf you need any more info drop me a line.\n\nBlue skies =8-)
