What does it *really* feel like to jump from space? In 2012 Felix Baumgartner took a helium balloon into the stratosphere and skydived back to earth in a specially made space suit. Whilst in freefall he broke the speed of sound and entered a spin which threatened the entire Red Bull Stratos mission... Felix reflects on his achievement and shares what it really felt like to jump from the edge of space.

Stride Gum Presents Heaven Sent Luke Aikins, the first person to accomplish a planned jump out of an airplane without a parachute or wing suit from a very high altitude (25,000 feet) (7,620 meters). Aikins eventually lands in a net. "Jumpers are away. Now he's practicing the flip. That's how he'll have to land. He'll have to land on his back. At 18,000 feet the oxygen mask will come off. There goes the oxygen mask. Now at 12,000 feet he'll hear a beep in his helmet that will tell him he's halfway home." The daring stunt is now in The Guinness Book Of World Records as the first complete planned jump from an airplane without a parachute: Luke Aikins.

There are moments in life that are surreal... BASE jumping is widely regarded as the most dangerous sport in the world. When a jumper adds a little creativity to danger, you get the phenomenon we call “blade running.” Once the jumper gets to the top of this 200ft wind turbine, he makes the walk of his life. After getting his bearings, he calmly yet gingerly steps onto the stalled - but still movable - blade. In an almost surreal action, he walks nearly the entire length of the 150ft blade. But, at the point of no return his forward motion starts to make the massive blade move beneath his feet. Now that the blade is going down, the athlete can no longer turn back, and he jumps! And like that, the bar for ‘epic’ just got raised to a new level!

What sounds like a nightmare for most is still a dream for others; to BASE jump off the world's second highest residential structure with the most qualified athletes in the world. SkydiveDubai and XDubai have partnered with DreamJump to bring dreams to extreme reality when they opened the opportunity for limited people from the public to jump using the DreamJump System. In addition to the dream jumps, a total of 558 BASE Jumps occurred in a matter of just a few days off the Princess Tower in the heart of the Dubai Marina. Dubai Film has partnered alongside SkydiveDubai and XDubai to bring the fear, adrenaline, laughter, excitement, and joy for you to enjoy.

The design process of this turbine, created by one man, took nearly 20 years to complete. Unfortunately the creator died just before the planned launch of this project. The power plant is now in decline and unlikely to be completed, nor commissioned further. canopy: Adrenalinbase ALL-T 250

Ivan Lester McGuire Skydiving Accident - Forgotten Parachute In early April 1988, in LouisBerg North Carolina, 35 year old veteran sky diver Ivan lester McGuire plummeted to his death while sky diving at the at the Franklin County Sports Parachute Center. Having previously completed over 800 jumps from an aeroplane, he was going for his third jump for the day. The videotape showed the divers making preparations around the plane's door; then the camera went out with McGuire. He launched himself from the plane at an altitude of 10500 feet apparently with no problem. With the camera aimed up toward the plane, the tape then shows the instructor and the student jump and freefall somewhat above McGuire. The jump appeared to be proceeding normally until the instructor and student opened their parachutes and receded rapidly from view as McGuire hurtled below them. After capturing the event on camera, he then gets ready to deploy his own parachute and reaches for the ripcord, as you see his left hand come into camera view, but suddenly realises to his horror, that he left it behind. Descending rapidly at 150 miles per hour, he screams frantically Oh no, Oh my God no, ″Then the pictures get to moving real fast and the only thing the camera shows is the ground coming.″ This will be the last footage he ever recorded before it cuts outs. McGuire's body was later found in woods about 11/2 miles from the airfield. Footage of the final stage of the plunge was destroyed on impact and what tape remained had to be spliced in places, It is thought McGuire could have forgotten to put his parachute on because of fatigue and his preoccupation of the heavy video equipment. An investigation into his death showed the pilot thought McGuire was wearing a parachute with both thinking the video equipment was the parachute because of its of bulky mass and weight where the parachute normally is. The death was recorded as an accident
