Felix Baumgartner: I went faster than a bullet

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Felix Baumgartner, the first skydiver to go faster than the speed of sound, has spoken about the time he jumped from space. The 46-year-old jumped out of a balloon 128,100ft (24 miles; 39km) above New Mexico in 2012, also breaking the record for the highest ever freefall. “You accelerate super-fast… 890mph, faster than the bullet of a gun” said the Austrian.
