The records that have been smashed by Felix are the maximum vertical speed record ( 1,357.6 kilometres (843.6 miles) an hour, or Mach 1.25, in freefall), highest exit altitude (38,969.4 metres) and vertical distance of freefall (36,402.6 metres ) before he opened his parachute.
With his jump, Baumgartner was also the first human to break the speed of sound outside of a vehicle. The free fall part of his jump lasted 4 minutes and 19 seconds.
