On October 14, 2012, over 8 million people watched live as Austrian BASE jumper and stuntman Felix Baumgartner made history by breaking three World Records at once: the first human to break the sound barrier without the assistance of a vehicle, the highest manned balloon flight, and the highest skydive.
The Red Bull Stratos free-fall was the awe-inspiring pinnacle of a career that encompassed parachuting from the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, skydiving across the English Channel, and skydiving on to, then BASE jumping from, the Turning Torso building in Malmö.
In his moderated conversations, Felix discusses the planning, preparation, and the teamwork that made this historic feat possible as he takes audiences on an inspiring and exhilarating journey.
