Baumgartner's record-breaking jump took place at an astonishing altitude of 39,045 meters, making it the highest ever freefall achieved by a human being. As he plummeted towards Earth for four minutes and twenty seconds, he shattered another barrier by becoming the first skydiver to break the sound barrier.
