I've also included a list of references/links in the description if you'd like to learn more about this topic. I must admit that there will certainly be record-holders I have missed. I tried my best, but information before 1950 is quite spotty and hard to find. There could easily be documentation of other record-holders tucked away in an obscure newspaper or book, and maybe in time we will find them.
For now, this is the only comprehensive list of the world's highest jump. Prior to making this video I could not find one that covered before Joe Kittinger. Hope you guys enjoy!
Edit: I apologize to my metric viewers for using imperial units, but two-thirds of my audience is from the US, and I felt that including the conversions for so many numbers would make everything a visual mess.
For this one you'll have to bare with me and divide by 3.
Hey EmperorLemon have you ever made a "History of (video game name)" video? You should try out do a series on that by starting on a video game series called Burnout
(Honer's voice) Neeeerdd! Nah, just kidding mate, stellar video as always. I was actually surprised, that there's no list of "Highest recorded parachute jumps in history" on Wikipedia, or something like that - they seem to have a list, table, chronology or tally for everything (well, there will probably be one after this video...)
There is one gliding record before it was all balloons if I remember it correctly, like that Chinese prisoner, in Istanbul where Hezarfen crossed the Golden Horn Bay after jumping off of the Galata Tower. But it is not a jump to fall, but much rather a jump with the purpose of travelling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hez%C3%A2rfen_Ahmed_%C3%87elebi more on that here
People who might be of note, My uncle Mike Pelkey and his friend Brian Schubert were the first people to jump off a sheer cliff the El Capitain mountain. With a drop of more then 3,000 feet second only to mount Thor. Widely considered to be the grandfathers of base jumping. Another great video Emp keep up the good stuff.
As a heads up you missed quite a bit of earlier jump cases by not including tethered jumping (i.e Bungee Jumping) present in numerous Indigenous cultures. "Land Diving" for instance was an ancient ritual practiced by Pentecost Islanders in Vanuatu where people dived off structures 100ft high, and intentionally hit the softened ground; or the dancing Papantla flyers of the Indigenous cultures in Pre-Columbian Mexico.
you could also have made an unlisted version with metric units - no visual mess. you know what it doesn't really matter numbers that big are impossible to visualize anyway
you couldve avoided the metric problem by saying the metric units while displaying the imperial units. that way, you wont need to clutter up the screen with too much text
Alan Eustace basically pulled an "I'm about to end this man's whole career" meme. Add to that the fact that he had no prior history of skydiving and he did it only 2 years after the set record with no issue, the meme is even more appropriate.
Bro, this is now the fourth video, I´m downloading on a single day, by a single channel! That must be Youtube record for me, for sure. At least for videos, I didn´t know yet and I am subscribed to over 200 channels! How come, I´ve never heard of you until today? This is like a goldmine of quality entertainment!
I’m sure I am not the only one that misses State of the YouTube. I know all about a lot of the issues in the background. It was an excellent and informative little vidcast.
DB cooper was not the only person to sucessfully commit airplane piracy with a parachute. Richard Floyd McCoy, Jr. also jumped after hijacking an airplane and demanding ransom. Also DB cooper most likely died in the jump where McCoy did not.
Hey emp, before when you were talking about Yuri Gagarin, you used a picture of Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space. Just figured you might want to know.
Yo dude, a few things. 1, love how thorough this is, I loved this video, and all of the lil touches you scattered throughout. 2. I love your choices in music, very nice 3. I doubly love that you put a direct reference/link to LEMMiNO's D.B. Cooper video. His stuff does not get anywhere enough appreciation for the amount of effort he puts into it.
Lemon, I've been a subscriber on your channel from way before your original channel was deleted years ago. I like your new style. Stick with a history like this bub, this is where it's at.
You make this video almost completely unwatchable for a third of your viewers, just so that you don't have to put a small meters number below the feet???
@Kase Castiel i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Saw the video (of his actual jump) first time a few years ago. It's fucking awesome. I can only imagine how much more the feeling must have been multiplied for him.
@Benny BooBoo Bear I think you missed the joke I was trying to make. Either that or my joke sucked. I was saying they had to make him a special suit just to hold his giant balls. The kind of balls it would have taken to do a jump like that years ago.
He was also the guy in the very famous tests of rocket sleds in the 60’s. He volunteered after his divorce. He told a funny story wherein when he was a test pilot (yes he was also a test pilot) his plane crashed, of which his wife was informed, and he says that when he came home he didn’t know if the expression on her face was because she was glad he was alive, or she was upset because he survived. He was also a POW in Vietnam.
@D Sandoval I’ve had that picture as my wallpaper on my laptop for years. Has meaning not only about having courage to leap into the unknown, but also as an engineer I like the simple practicality of taping equipment to your butt with duct tape. If it works, why not, instead of paying a contractor millions of dollars and waiting for years to develop a one time use attachment.
It kinda surprises me that the whole world knew of and saw Felix baumgartners jump, but I never heard of Alan's record breaker till now. Anyone else miss that too?

Same here. I was sure the endpoint of the vid is the Baumgarthers jump. Damn, I hardly recalled about Alan while reading your comment, meaning, just half an hour after watching the vid. I haven't had enough sleep though.
Yep totally. I suppose the novelty of breaking the record that had held for fifty years was interesting and newsworthy, but only two years later even though setting a new record it's also "just another guy jumping from near space like that other dude just did" kind of way.
@kelly hill I mean that's literally the point of their sponsorship. They wanted people to see it, so since this was a big deal for the jumping community anyway, they heavily marketed it on top of it's natural interest and so lots saw it and heard of it. Alan didn't have a company trying to promote viewership of his jump, and like an above comment mentions, second guy to jump from near space, bit slightly higher than the last guy, isn't as big of a deal as first guy to ever jump from near space.
It's because it (Eustace's project) was done mostly in secret with very little publicity before, during or after. Eustace just wanted the record, not the glory.
Alan is a nice guy, very humble and friendly. He and I and Dick Rutan had lunch at the Voyager restaurant a few years ago... working for a rocket company in Mojave had its perks.
@Dislike Button And I just searched for the definition of alien, and realized that the definition was "life from another world" and we, here we are are not from another world :D
I remember reading about that years ago in a book about unlikely survival stories. It was such a freaking 1 in a million chance, and she was the only person who survived that crash.
@JellySword Yeah he pronounces shit wrong all the time too. "undoubtably" isn't a word, but he uses it, "kittinger" is pronounced wrong and he says it in literally every other sentence for about 5 minutes straight... The problem is that youtubers don't bother doing any proofreading or research past googling shit. They also can't be bothered looking up how to pronounce words they don't know how to pronounce. And pronouncing words properly is a pretty major part of being a narrator.
A good example of why you shouldn't really trust anything you see on youtube. Youtube is still part of the internet.
@Bong Jovi Idk what you're saying about "undoubtedly" not being a word. It seems that multiple dictionaries seem show it as one and the fact that you spelled it wrong doesn't help much either.
Personally, I find that pronunciation tends to be something subjective in most cases; Its purpose is to simply allow people to both know the meaning of a word. Just look at the debates people had over how "gif" should be pronounced.
It seems like you're implying that because his grammar and speech were wrong it invalidates the facts that he researched, which it doesn't. To me, you kind of just sound like someone in a bad mood who wanted to find things wrong with the video but that's ok; it happens to all of us.
@JellySword I meant he says "undoubtably" which isn't a word. It should be "undoubtedly"
And "gif" is a totally different case. It didn't have an established pronunciation.
Sorry, but you can't claim someone knows what they're talking about if they don't even know how to speak their first and only language. Pronouncing things differently and pronouncing them wrong are two totally different things.
Guess I hit a little close to home, huh? Not everyone can have an average IQ, sorry you got the short end of the stick but that's not my fault.
@Bong Jovi I'm not sure where he says it in the video so correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the two words ("undoubtably" and "undoubtedly") pronounced the same anyway?
@Bong Jovi Yeah sorry I just noticed that one has a b at the end while the other has a d. At first, I only noticed the a and the e. I can see how this could be a pet peeve and I'm sure that now that I'm aware of it, I won't be able to stop noticing it. For me, my grammar annoyance is when people don't know how to use semicolons.
My favorite was how she became an activist and protested against the government, but the government was too scared of arresting her because of her popularity.
I went skydiving recently, and I never could've imagined what it felt like before I did it, you never really feel the sensation of falling for more than like half a second in normal life, so you don't really have time to think as it happens. I'd highly recommend it to anyone willing to face their fears of heights and falling, or anyone in general, because it is such a unique experience.
Going skydiving I was more scared of the plane being literally duct taped together than jumping. It's only been three months since I jumped but now I'm kind of addicted and can't wait to get enough money to afford the training for a license. A lot of fun, the only bad part was that sinking feeling as you jump but it doesn't last long.
The story of everything surrounding stratos is something straight out of a movie. The record being broken after decades and decades, the previous holder being a mentor to the new one, a large collaborative effort and a perfect ending. a random ceo deciding he wanted to feel more validation one day is honestly just kinda cringe in comparison lol
Alan isn't a "random CEO", he's been an avid skydiver for decades and had his jump in planning (but without a PR machine) even before Red Bull got started.
Several year ago i was obsessed with jumping from the mesosphere like the guy did with red bull from the beginning of the stratosphere. It was insanely expensive and no one like red bull would sponsor me. They told me suit alone was like 250k i think. That dream has fadded but now i really want to get one of those backpack paragliders and fly it around my local area. They look like soo much fun.
Emp has fully undergone a transformation into a really entertaining and informative channel on the likes of Whang, wavywebsurf, and Fredrick Knudsen. But on some accounts, and in my personal opinion, he's better than them all. I love that you finally decided to make videos about whatever the fuck you want regardless of how much exposure you might get from it. I'm aware that this has been going on for a while now with the never ever series but I still think that around this time it finally actually shows that you've fully grown up from your old type of videos and is on looking for greener pastures.
To some extent I miss the YTPs. Poopers are kind of an endangered species on the platform, and the good ones tend to offer a very unique kind of comedy not really seen anywhere else.
@MultiverseMedia Space Definitely good but I'm not sure if it's the best. I think Emp's has more editing and visuals which makes it a better experience. It's all a matter of opinion ofc
@Tipperzack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmr6jIpXSmg you should watch the Mad Lad episode of the Killdozer first it's one of his best ones and will give you a feel for why you need to watch all the mad lad episodes. the most recent one was...eh okay I suppose.
@SparkleSparkleSparkle Harry Houdini is a personal favourite, while Dryden is one that's all too common but because how it ends is why most people give up on their dream home/bunker plans. Honorable mention for SKY KING! 👏👏🙏
“But on some accounts [...] he’s better than them all.” Now let’s all be very clear, this is on SOME accounts. Not all. Some.
You find me a man with this kind of content and a sly-er smile than Wavy, or more magnificent facial hair than Whang, then we can talk. Until then I’ll just sit here and enjoy all 4
yeah, I love how he's retained his distinct YTP style of editing and source-mixing with visuals and audio, but has developed a completely new style of documentary-like storytelling around it.
24:05 Just hearing "We've finally landed" by HOME gave me really hope that he did it. 🥲 Overall this was a very good Record documentary. Summoning Salt would be proud.
I have no idea but this legitimately my second favorite video ever, right behind your Dale Earnhardt video. Please do more videos like this. Maybe one about the record of depth in the ocean?
Second time watching this still just as oddly fascinating, idk why but I love learning about useless knowledge, in terms of day to day life, the way EmpLemon constructs and presents these types of videos is so refreashing and enjoyable.
Good job man, i love watching your content pls continue. Well done EmpLemon.
Alan Eustace is the speed runner that no one knows of, and out of nowhere claims a world record. Everyone doubts him until he shows a new, more efficient, method of ascension.
Emp, I would just like to let you know that this video is one of my all-time favourite videos on all of YouTube. I've rewatched this video so many times. Excellent job my man.
As an avid skydiver I think you did a great job capturing the thrill an wonder of being up where you're not supposed to be. While the highest jump I've done is only 30.1k feet, even at that height you start to get a sense of how small you are. I wonder when someone will try a wingsuit space jump to get the record for longest distance traveled in a skydive.
Absolutely fantastic video. As a licensed skydiver halo jumps start getting strangely boring and anxious as you keep glancing over at your altimeter wondering when it’s time to pitch, especially jumping solo. I can’t imagine the instincts you would have to fight falling for nearly 5 minutes, eyes locked on your altimeter and every part of your skydiver brain screaming at you to pitch 3 minutes ago.
9:58 this intrigued me. What would have happened if he didnt deflate the balloon in time? 2 unconscious bodies floating upward to their death? Would the balloon fail and they fall back to earth before dying? Or, would 2 dead bodies just float in space forever? Or, would 2 dead bodies plummet to earth?
I love that you made references to summoningsalt using a variation on the formula he codified, without straight up ripping off the format for some clickbaity topic. And, hell, you even subverted the formula with a bait and switch straight off the bat with that iconic music ending abruptly for a subtle gag. It communicates to me that you have admiration and respect for his work that other creators i've seen don't seem to show.
Well... Probably. I think so, at least. Right? All I know for sure is that this is one of the few videos taking on the Summoning Salt formula which i didn't just click away from within five minutes, but watched to the end with no regrets or feelings of, for lack of a better term, cringe. That speaks for something, i feel.
About 17,500 above sea level was my highest jump- it was supposed to be 15,500 but we had booming lift on the second jump run. I was seeing specks in my vision and they only went away when I did some g-strain -like pressure breathing. If you take a deep breath and and then bear down, you can add about 1.5 psi of pressure in your lungs and the specks go away.
i went skydiving once, on my 18th birthday. i couldnt breathe until the chute was pulled. it felt like i was unable to exhale from the force of the wind going into my lungs but i think i just panicked. felt like 1 minute but im sure it was like 20 seconds or less lol. anyone else experience this?
The whole "input over destiny" thing is the reason why you are not very likely to die in a plane crash - because you have far more time(a few minutes) to make adjustments before impact. Whereas, with a car you often only have a couple of seconds at the MOST.
Great! Haven't thought about it before. You imply objects burn in the atmosphere mostly because of orbital velocity. This means if we could decelerate an object right on the orbit it will fall without burning. Cool!
wow, super original, its not like theres a comment almost exactly like this one.. that got commented 2 months ago... thats right under this one... right?
@jojolafrite90 you dont understand what longer and longer world record jumps has to do with shorter and shorter world record speed runs? You didn't notice the lofi upbeat music, an aside on the inspirations of the record setter, and the big reveal of the final record with a lofi beat drop to accompany it?
@jojolafrite90 I think emp definitely watches him, the music in a few videos is the same like at 24:04 there’s a home song in there which summoning uses in just about every video, his storytelling and editing is similar too and the thumbnail of this video is surely a nod to summoning. Doing jumps from higher and higher is also like real world speedrunning because it’s a world record
@CyberKaze that’s just royalty free music - tons of youtubers use it. For instance Eckhartsladder uses that song. Either way its likely a nod or homage to Summoning Salt. His videos have inspired a ton of people. The thing is that Summoning Salt didn’t invent this style of documentary aesthetic. He just uses it expertly in a recognizable way.
I have no doubt he gained inspiration from but I also have no doubt that he did it justice. Imitation is the highest form of flattery when executed correctly.
@CptGooch it was fantastic and I want to see more content like this to be honest. Just other guys who like Salt's presentation talking about their own interests and history.
@jojolafrite90 this is in the exact style of summonig salt though? the lofi/vaporwave, the font... it doesn't have to be speedrunning content to resemble summoning salt lol
I've jumped 34 feet (10 meters or so) from a paratrooper training tower, it was an amazing experience, sadly there's hardly any skydiving in my country though.
Hanna G2022-06-08 13:18:42 (edited 2022-06-19 10:34:14 )
10:36 Actually, Hawthorne Gray's balloon's barometers (since he had two!) showcased he had reached a height of between 43,000feet and 44,000 feet. I'm not sure why his record is considered to be set at 42,470feet, but I guess it's based on his unofficial record where he had to parachute out at 8,000 feet during descent because of the rapid descent of the balloon (since the FAI required the balloonist to land with their aircraft this is considered an unofficial record).
He had oxygen tanks on hand but his clock stopped working so he wasn't able to keep track of time passed and most likely used up his oxygen too quickly.
If you're referring to Mike Hughes, he was just a daredevil pretending to be a flat earther so they would fund his rocket launches. It's a shame tricking flat earthers has become his legacy
@Please Complete All Fields you seem to know more than I do so I'll take your word for it. My understanding was one of the first things his PR guys did after he died was to try to separate his image from FE belief. like you said he would have to have known his rockets werent the most effective way to see the curvature of the Earth.
Orbital mechanics 101: if you where to just jump from from the ISS in orbit, you would still be in orbit. You would t simply fall to earth at that speed, you would continue to fall around the earth at that speed
Superb video, and great pics and dialogue here, amazing to think that the highest jump was never in the public eye. He was just a normal guy who has done well for him self.
Most definitely. He can upload about anything and we'll watch it since he's built up that credibility of proving he makes everything more interesting. Or rather, he understands how to highlight what makes a subject interesting and can trust us to have an attention span superior to that of a gerbil.
I remember my class watching Felix Baumgardner in 5th grade. My teacher stopped everything and we watched every minute of the stream. While talking about aeronautic history.
Emplemon has an uncanny gift of talking about something I've never heard of or didnt care about (This, Dale Earnhardt, Hungry Box) and making me feel like an expert once the video finishes
I’ve fallen 20 feet without injury, it felt like I was falling for a long time. Time slowed down because I wasn’t excepting it, I then had to go back up to climb it again. Not fun but I was fine
It's hilarious how Eustace just saw Baumgartner like "Hey, that looks fun. I want to try it". And he just did, and boom. Just like that. Old man, first try, no big show, no big promotion.
I can imagine Kittenger's thoughts during the glove incident. "My hand is swelling up like the balloon carrying me. Screw it, I'm jumping anyway." I think they needed a bigger chute because his balls are so big.
He realised the glove was torn before he even left the ground(or very shortly after, I don't remember.). And it was his left hand, not his right. You can see him cradling it to his body in the photo of the hand shake
That was stupid air jokey (jet pilot) mentality. He was afraid his boys would think he does not have the "right stuff" in him. There is a whole book about it. Aptly named The Right Stuff.
He actually risked his mission and the fate of the whole program on his childish pride.
Joe's still alive as of me writing this comment. Would love to shake that big right hand of his.
It's amazing how far we've come as a species. Just some crazy monkeys who dared to challenge nature in every possible way, and found a way to win every time.
@Michael Crockis 'Childish pride' is what compels us to take risks which might reward us for taking the risk. It's related to evolution/natural selection.
I know I haven’t done anything as impressive with my own life but I still can’t watch the redbull video without thinking to myself “that’s a fall, not a jump”
Night Flyer2020-06-24 08:31:01 (edited 2020-06-24 08:31:37 )
Speaking of Disney, Alan Eustace actually worked at Walt Disney World scooping ice cream and later operating the monorail while getting through college. So if any of you have dreams of breaking the jump record, but are working minimum wage entry jobs right now, have no fear, you can do it too.
Big shout out to your excellent music choices, they really make it a funner way of taking in the info. Special shout out for the Gran Turismo menu music. That made me all tingly and nostalgic inside ☺
Everyone else: Uses the height of a building or a mountain to show how tall the jump is Emplemon: It is comparable to the cruising altitude of the Fortnite Battle Bus
I've fallen away from the game, but that is actually a great analogy because everyone's usually played it at least once, and you actively fall from the Battle Bus every game. It's not the same as a building or mountain, because you've never jumped off of a building or mountain. You've jumped off the Battle Bus though.
It makes sense, it might not be perfect but anyone can relate because everyone has at least seen or played the game. Not everyone has stood atop a skyscraper
@TurtleMarcus Remembers me of the last Marl Robber video. "The pressure is the equivalent of hitting a football." What? I don't even know what kind of football ball is the ball supposed to be.
I think you forgot to mention that after a flight with his family, the Lindbergh baby's jump attempt may be the current record, as it still hasn't officially landed.
IMO, the limit for how high one could jump from would come down to a semantic distinction.
The higher you go, the faster you fall. At some point the speed will cause enough heat that a plain pressure suit won't be enough. A heat shield will be needed to survive. When does a pressure suit just become a small capsule?
And at the point that you have a heat shield can you really still call it a 'jump'.
That was a really cool video! As a practitioner of Parkour for almost a decade now i feel you missed the chance to talk about the biggest jump a person has done with no parachute at all. As nowadays people of the parkour world are doing 20+ foot drops to concrete on the weekly.
It's probably because the google guy didn't make a spectacle out of it like redbull did (and they should, since they're an energy drink company trying to sell a product) You can't even watch google guy's full jump on youtube since they didn't post the full on-board cameras.
This is such a well put together video. You pack so much content into the half hour, and the pacing and editing are absolutely perfect. There are a lot of video essayists/amateur documentarists on here and it’s really easy to put together a mildly informative, slightly poppy product on some popular topic and for it to do really well, so you’re truly a cut above the rest. The music is also really well done. I’m a big fan of you Emp.
That explanation at 0:54 is the exact same explanation I use when people asked why I hated flying. The example you used is literally the exact same example I use 😂 “at least with a car, we have some sort of control. In a plane, we don’t have control.”
He certianly was inspired by Jon bois- the writting is stupid simular the graph- the music placement- if you havent yet go watch jon bois hell make you fall in love with sports.
story: I had this video on in the background as I was buying my first tf2 name tag. I spent a while trying to decide what I was going to do with it, when the part where emp talks about Joe Kittinger's record played and then it hit me. And that is why my rocket jumper is named "Excelsior III"
Now I wonder, how did they tell how high they were going in 1802? Also the picture used for gagarin at around 20 min appears to actually be the first woman in space valentina tereshkova. But nevertheless an outstanding video, very enjoyable to watch!
This is one of the very few channels left on this website that feels like it has the same magic as old YouTube. Thank you for keeping that alive, EmpLemon.
As a freerunner, I used to do backflips, front flips and every other trick/flip off things 10-15 ft high. We learn to roll on landing which absorbs a lot of it.
I swear I have seen a whole video talking about this great achievement and they didn't talk about Alan Eustice at all, as if he didn't even do it. I now wonder if the video was made before 2014.
Because he did it in secret. Proves that this feat didn't take training at all. You just fall and pull the cord. Some rich man doing rich people things
Still, imagine how pissed you would be if you took years to prepare for a space jump, got the man who held the record before to give you his blessing, only for some rich google tech guy to beat it 2 months later because one day he went “ yeah I’m bored… I’m going to jump from space. “
Dude basically bought a record win anyways so who cares lol

Wolfgang Kranek2022-01-04 00:09:02 (edited 2022-01-04 00:32:41 )
Eustice didn't made a media event out of his jump. So it's no surprise he also didn't get a similar amount of attention. It works like that in almost all ways of live. Everybody knows Edison, but in contrast only few ever heard the name Tesla (before Musk named his car after him). On a side note: It's about the highest free fall. Purely physically speaking, every astronaut in orbit is in free fall - but because of the high speed they don't fall down to earth (or so slow that it's no relevant).
@Wolfgang Kranek Felix still has the freefall record - Eustace used a drogue. Much safer, but not a freefall record. In that regard, Kittinger also used a drogue for Excelsior, but setting a record wasn't Kittinger's intention. He was a test pilot. The actual freefall altitude record was set by Soviet Air Force Captain Yevgeny Andreyev in the 1960s. THAT was the record that counts, and it was held by him until the Federation Autonautique Internationale (FAI - the aviation record governing body) certified Felix's jump in 2012. Eustace technically set a manned altitude record for a balloon flight but it doesn't actually count as an official aviation record as certified by the FAI because their rules stipulate that for an altitude record to be valid, the applicant must both take off AND LAND with the vehicle in which they set the record. Eustace didn't do that either. Actually, none of them have, except for Nick Piantanida because due to a malfunction, he had to abort his record attempt and land with his gondola. As far as I know, Nick Piantanida's record altitude for a manned balloon flight still stands. Someone kindly correct me if I'm misinformed.
oh my god you can just see how happy kittenger is that baumgartner got down safely, im sure when he jumped he immediately was thinking about him death spinning and blacking out
i love your videos and i cant imagine how much effort they are, but could you at least somewhere write the measurements in the metric system as well? for all the people who dont live in the us?
I love how he mentions the finality of great falls and shows Emperor Palpatine falling when the modern star wars movies completely ruined any finality the scene was intended to have.
Many stories use the "Great fall" and a "rebirth" as a christ metaphor in the case of LOTR. Super Mario is a video game so respawns are a mechanic. Palpatine returning in the sequel trilogy is bad writing.
@MemeMan9076 Depends on what you consider canon. Extended universe was officially retconned when Disney greenlit the sequels. Ofc the modern extended universe reincorporated a bunch of the og stuff but still much different.
You can always tell if a story is going Absolutely shit when a character survives a Great Fall and they aren't Fucking Gandalf...... Speaking as a fan or RWBY......
Imagine training your whole life as an astronaut and have the backing of a large company to beat a 50 year old jump world record and doing it... and then get beat by a middle aged computer nerd from google with no prior experiences 2 years later.
This is aviation in a nutshell. Famed aviator Tex Johnston did a barrel roll in a Boeing 707, for most pilots a kind of maneuver like that in an airliner is unfathomable. Then a couple years ago Richard Russell, a grounds crew guy who had no prior flying experience beyond “video games” did the same thing when he stole a Q400, and before unfortunately killing himself afterwards. A lot of the time with aviation records it’s more a challenge of whose got the bigger balls than who has the most skill. Or as test pilots call it, “pushing the envelope”.

littleferrhis Sky King, blessed by the sky to pull a barrel roll in an aircraft made with the maneuverability of a cruiseliner. R.I.P. man, what a legend
I remember watching that red bull guy fall from space, and just being absolutely devastated that he actually landed in the net, biggest disappointment of my childhood
The “EMERGEN” call at 25:04 is one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever heard. No jumpscare or spooky noise is more terrifying than that. It tells a cruel story.
The thing that makes it scary is that you can hear panic and fear in his voice. He cries out for help, and before he could finish, no one could hear him anymore.
@EmpLemon do you happen to have a source for the image at 9:55? I'm looking at scans of Travels in the Air and none of them are as high-quality as the one used in the video. Thanks in advance!
A back of the hand calculation suggests that the heights jump plausible would be to jump from a space elevator at about 80,000,000 ft as that is the approximate distance at which the angular momentum is enough that you might be in orbit before you fall all the way to earth. Of course, this assumes you can survive re-entry in a way that doesn't technically count as a "rocket" to still qualify as the highest jump(considering you did not count orbital launches as "jumps")
Damn I'm making a cocktail for every emplem I'm watching and I'm pretty much ready to jump. (his videos are good, it's just a joke) but I would jump into his arms.
The biggest jump I’ve done is a 5m cliff on my ski’s I landed on my feet but because when you land on something it’s the energy travelling through your body which makes it hurt my legs gave out a few seconds after I oanded
Jesus Christ. Piantanida's final words are chilling. You can hear the fear, The adrenaline, The moment of realization, And then it just cuts. Its chilling. Even more so when you find out he was only 34 when he died.
Hey Emp, Local Orlando man here. I love your videos man I’ve recently binged all your video essays. It’s nice to see a local Florida homie doing well. Much Love.
I know the it is tradition to measure altitude in feet, but for the sake of your viewers who do not live in the USA, Liberia or Myanmar, it would be helpful if you could include (at least on screen) metric units.
"For most of us, that number never exceeds a few feet." It's funny that despite being a paratrooper for years, my record of 15,000ft was done as a civilian. Most of my military jumps were from 600-800ft. 15,000ft sounds scarier but actually it's way safer. At 600ft you don't have any time to correct mistakes or problems.
Yhe people always asks me what the highest i've jumped from, never how low i've gone. At a certain point Base jumps are basically only mountain skydives with a lot of room for error, when at a certain low point you don't have any margins at all. This is my lowest jump i ever made at 124 feet, didn't even pop my brakes. I've friends who've gone lower but cant find their video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC2DB6QIqME&list=PLXpmRBR1E6yflc20YL4i-ZIw4u_eEhbRs&index=31
@Johan Mood I was invited to jump from the Royal Gorge Bridge in 1980, but did a gut check and decided I wasn't skilled enough at the time- I think I had less than thirty jumps at the time.
124 feet? Wouldn't it be easier to just set up a stuntman's airbag?
The lowest I ever jumped was 885 feet on the Skyjump abseil off the Stratosphere Tower in Vegas. That was the closest I ever got to a base jump, it's cheating since there's no canopy to deploy, but 18 seconds top to bottom is still a pretty good rush.
I get the feeling that surmounting the challenges that jumping from something like the ISS would give you the tools you would need to functionally be able to jump from the fucking Moon to the Earth.
13:04 Lindgergh was the first person to make a non-stop transatlantic flight SOLO. The first ever transatlantic flight was made by John Alcock and Arthur Brown in 1919
fun fact. my 8th grade teacher was friends with joe kittinger and my class got to speak with him. also i watched the 2012 jump live like a lot of other people.
My favorite thing about EmpLemon is that he makes videos on whatever he finds interesting and it means I never know what to expect next. Keeps things fresh and often times I learn something new whenever he uploads.
A workman fell a hundred feet into New York harbour. He carried a heavy sledge hammer which broke the surface tension and reduced the density of the water where he entered drawing in bubbles. He survived.
This does make me think... if much of the trouble for future space-jumping comes from the re-entry speed due to the base being in orbital speeds. Could one possibly do the jump from a Geostationary orbit? As in, an orbit where the orbit synks with the rotation of the earth. That way you minimize that vector at least.
Or would that height be so great that the speed picked up by the accelleration would negate the savings from not moving forwards so to speak?
Maybe one could fire off a gondola from the space station in the opposite direction to reduce the speed over the ground to close to zero before jumping off it?
I still remember Felix's jump like it was yesterday. I had a regatta the same day with my rowing team when a teammate took out his phone and showed everyone the livestream. As a middle school kid, I wasn't really able to grasp how ambitious the jump was at the time. I ended being far more impressed with the fact that I was in a tent along a river with seemingly no internet access and was witnessing an event happening live thousands of feet up on the other side of the country. Crazy to think we've come as far as we have today where almost anyone can stream live from virtually anywhere and even make a living off of it.
Same! I actually geeked out for a second when I realized it happened almost 9 years ago! My cousin-in-law called me and told me about it, I watched it live from my laptop in my bedroom. Like you said, feels like just yesterday.
god damn this was so interesting. and a rollercoaster of emotions. not sure why but i damn nearly teared up when baumgartner landed and kittinger was clapping. i totally remember when that jump happened in 2012, it was so cool to me, like ODSTs in the halo series
ikr! Felix had to get sponsors, had to stream the entire thing, and blessings from the previous record holder! Then a guy who's never done anything extreme in his life and just breaks the record that took 52 years to break~!!!!!
@Sadisticsalmon Red Bull definitely knows the PR game, but I think the true reason is because Baumgartner's story gels better with the heroic narrative that these kinds of records are tied up in. He's a professional skydiver who worked his whole life to get to the point where he could finally achieve the greatest mastery in his craft. Due to the timing and speed with which he did it, Eustace looks like a rich executive who decided he wanted something to lord over everyone and space jumps happened to be the in thing at the time. Probably not true, he probably had an interest in space that he couldn't pursue and finally had a ton of money to apply an interest like Elon Musk and SpaceX.
Who has seen the original ("live") footage of Felix Baumgartner's jump? What about the missing time? 10-20 thousand feet had been cut, never found any explanation for it; the "live" jump we witnessed had been edited prior to showing.
You should state WHY Dolgov and Piantanida lost suit pressure. Dolgov's helmet hit something as he exited and the visor cracked open.
Piantanida had a bad habit of momentarily opening his faceplate to relieve pressure because the neck ring was riding up...he tempted fate once too often.
the fact that piantanida's homemade space program didn't already catastrophically fail and end his life on his first attempt reaching 120k feet should be considered a damn near fucking miracle, may his soul rest in peace :(
I enjoyed this story very much. But the exclusive use of imperial units throughout the video was very annoying. Since there are only 3 countries in the world that exclusively use the imperial system a good rule for content creators would be to either use metrics or imperials along metrics. This would also help people from Liberia, Myanmar and the USA to be familiarized with the metric system.
@PongoXBongo not at all even climbing mountains that are supposed to easy can be extremely taxing and tiring even with the best climbing equipment plus breathing gets difficult as you go up, it gets colder and the clothing, food have to be carried along as well. no tourist can just take a plane to nepal and finish climbing the mountain in a day without any guides.
@rinnegan sr That's true. But, in the context of this video, no random tourist can space dive either. I meant it in more of an apples-to-apples sense. The Google guy could probably pay whatever it takes to crest Everest, and another like him could do the same with space diving.
To be fair, I know the name Felix Baumgartner very well, but I've never even heard of that Google guy until today. Sure Google guy may have the world record, but it's Baumgartner who will be remembered for a long, long time.
13:06 charles lindburgh wasn't the first person to make a non stop trans Atlantic flight. john alcock and arthur brown flew across the Atlantic non stop in 1919 in a vickers vimy bomber and not long after the British airship R34 made trip in the other direction. lindburgh was the first person to fly across the Atlantic ocean alone.
I really like how you're branching off into this category of the testing of human limits. Strength, speed, endurance, I could see all of them being equally entertaining if you ever decide to do them. Keep up the great work.
My step uncle was back country skiing in the woods when he cam out and there was cliff, but couldnt stop and fell. I dont know how high but it was at least over 100 feet
There was actually another person who held the record for the highest jump for a while. Between 1630-1632, Hezarfen Ahmed Çelebi from the Ottoman Empire jumped off of the galata tower in Istanbul and flew across the Bosporus. The tower was 219.5 feet (66.9 m) high at the time, which would be a record for its time
I believe that at that time the record would've been Eilmer of Malmesbury who jumped off of a roughly 400 foot tower in 1010 and survived. Though the story has been mythologized quite a bit over the years, so the 400 foot number could be wrong
No joke i literally jumped down from a wooden house at my old school that's higher then if i were to stand on my own shoulders at least twice a day. (im 1.9M big ~6 foot 2,8 inches) and i have never broken even a single bone.
I was one of the babies who didn't mind. Ever since I was born I felt attracked to jumping from tall things, I would go to waterfalls with my parents and surprise every one there by jumping from 20 feet onto the water, I was about 8-10 the first few times I did that. A bit later on one day I shocked two of my cousins by jumping out of the bell tower of my local church from about 15 feet or so into a stone floor. But then at around 14, what people had always told me started getting in my head and I began hearing their voices when I was about to jump "owh you're gonna get hurt" etc etc and it became much harder, suddenly I felt a substantially bit of fear and now every summer I make sure I go to some waterfall and jump from somewhere higher. I still love the thrill of jumping, it's such a pure feeling, just you and nature, a huge rush and splash, you're in the water.
Ps: to be fair last summer I hurt my self twice and now I have a few scars on my back, but owh well. Tbf they just happened cuz I dove vertically head first, which I try not to do as much nowadays
There's 2 options why Felix got Kittinger's blessing. Either Kittinger really cared about the record or the more likely: red bull paid him enough that he started to care:D
Imagine, your whole life has lead up to this moment, you’re at the highest point a man has ever gotten to. You’ve finally made it to your goal and just have to jump, but you can’t detach your oxygen cord.
Interesting tidbit: Here in Croatia we've always been told in school and such that Faust Vrančić (Fausto Veranzio) actually built the chute and jumped off a tower in front of a crowd in Venice and survived. Genuinely did not know that wasn't actually confirmed until a few months ago.
For anyone wondering, the first song in the video (and later) is "HOME - Resonance" an amazing vaporwave/synthwave track that has a unexplainable nostalgic feeling.
If you're willing to stretch the definition of 'pressure suit' a bit, there may lie a bigger record to be set; a jump from orbit. There once existed project MOOSE, standing for 'Man Out Of Space Easiest'. It was an experimental look at how to prevent an astronaut from being stranded in orbit. It would have consisted of a large solid rocket motor, a large polyester bag, canisters filled with expanding foam, and a parachute. The solid rocket motor would be used by the astronaut to de-orbit themselves, and then the bag (which the astronaut would be inside of) would be filled with the expanding foam to form a crude heatshield. After reentry, the astronaut would deploy the parachute, and what was left of the charred foam would cushion the impact. 'Easiest' quickly becomes the operative word when looking at the design, but simultaneously becomes almost sarcastic when it comes to the fear that would come with using such a system.
Has anyone got recordings of Emperor Shun's run? I've looked on speedrun.com but I can't find them anywhere, which is pretty weird considering he invented the jump% category in the first place
Like most early speed runs their is no video evidence of them. In a time before streaming a lot of attempts were just written down on papyrus and people accepted it.
fun fact: the highest possible jump is the very edge of earth gravitational influence, the very point where another celestial bodys gravitational pull is stronger then earths, surviving a jump from here would prove... challenging.
A few have survived from 30000 ft, without any parachutes. Also cats can survive a fall from any height, but for some reason sustain the most injuries from 40 ft.
He's literally been doing this for almost two years now. So maybe get the facts right and do A SIMPLE view of his channel to see, or don't comment at all.
@gasai yuno >literally replies by missing the joke and taking it too seriously also no he was doing it since 2015, so you try again and do some research you pleb. GG.
God damn it, I was so emotionally invested in the whole Felix arc: after 50 years of failed attempts, broken dreams and daredevils on the edge of glory, the record still stood, high and mighty. The skies had proven to be an unbearable trial of courage for most jumpers. But not all of them. There was still one, the one with a fearless heart and determined spirit. A man of sheer fucking will. And not only that, but he was standing on the shoulders of the great Joe Kittinger himself. He had passed his wisdom to Felix and it was now time to shatter the frontier that had broken so many before him. Each test, each attempt was one step closer to the ultimate goal.
Then, the time had come. Felix was in position, standing on the edge of the world, admiring what he had worked so hard for. The stakes where high, and, with the hopes and dreams of mankind weighing down on his shoulders, he took the leap. People would then be subjected to the longest five minutes in existance, silently witnessing as the man came thundering down from the heavens above, uncertain of what the next moments would bring.
But he did it. Felix had written history. At last, after half a century of heartbreak and sorrow, he had he obliterated the record that had chained humanity for so long. He was a hero. And Kittinger, after finally passing the mantle to a new generation, he could finally rest...
And then like the most random of dudes, a computer scientist that didn't even have skydiving experience, the god damn Gary Stu of skydivers just swoops down and yoinks the record on his first try. Like... what??
Not hating on the guy btw, nothing but mad respect for him. I just think the whole thing is kinda funny.
Software engineers, like any other kind of engineer, find a problem they want to solve and then analyze the exact minimum requirements to solve it effectively. A lot of the people (not including the government programs of course) attempting this jump height record weren't really engineers themselves, they'd just gotten help from engineers with certain things. Eustace, being an engineer and having some money, figured out exactly what requirements he would have to solve and solved them before making any attempts, thus saving him from a bunch of expensive experimentation and securing his victory.
EVERYONE heard about the redbull jump i didnt even know the record had been broken until i watched this though kittinger might not even know it was broken lmaooo
I suppose I'm in a minority, but I've always found flying/public transport completely stress free in regards to fearing an accident. I can't do shit about it either way, so i'm not gonna stress about it. Driving for 8 hours tho is like a god damn torture session for me. Absolutely hate driving, and I find it totally bonkers that people are just dandy about piloting thousands of pounds of metal within feet of each other at fatal speeds for hours on end.
@EndLaiser it’s not a parody not even close, and a tribute is not a parody either. a parody has to involve imitation of which there is none in this video. unless you’re referring to something else in this video?
@EndLaiser Parodies cannot be in a mocking manner, since it would then become satire. However, parodies need to have some aspect that's inherently over exaggerated or hyperbolic in nature. Think Megamind, OPM, etc. Satire is essentially the same but made to criticize the media it satirizes.
The only part of this video that can even be remotely considered hyperbolic or a "parody" is the third title card. However even that doesn't count as parody since the distortion implies satire as a way to communicate that Emp felt SS uses too many cards.
@Siker Which are fonts, music, and storytelling that Summoning Salt adopted from Jon Bois. All three creators are incredible, but let’s not overlook the person who inspired Emp and Summoning Salt
If you break the sound barrier physically do you feel it? I always have to ask the questions..Nothing wrong with asking questions. Give it a little thought first.
Jumping from height has nothing to do with fear of heights. I used to jump from planes. You feel disconnected from the earth after a certain height and the fear is gone. The landscape looks like a painting below you
there is nothing more terrifying than knowing you're breaking a frontier by going higher than ever in a balloon with your buddy and the bloke passing out while you're getting woozy. the "death zone" is a scary concept
To me, it is not the fear of falling, but rather the fear of hitting the ground. Falling won't cause any immediate harm to your body and is actually often very relaxing. The astronauts in orbit are technically falling back to Earth all the time, but their horizontal velocity is so great that they don't lose altitude relative to the Earth's surface. So technically some people have been in a constant fall for over a year. That is actually what creates the sensation of zero gravity.
It goes beyond control. If a car stops working you are safe on the ground, so long there isn't a wall in front of you. If a plane stops working you will hit the ground like a wall, unless a professional can land it back into the ground.
@Taiga's Tunes I like how, at first, "piracy" was used to convey stealing a ship or a vehicle of any kind, and that was used as a metaphor for stealing digital data, and now stealing vehicles is conveyed in a "stealing digital data" type of piracy lol
theres a saying in construction "50mm fall" when you only step back of small ledge of 2 inches and have a feeling of falling. ive had it a few times and ive seen it
Hm... That's the best way for a channel to develop though - posting things, that the creator himself wants, not what he thinks he has to do or what he's told by his audience.
It makes me so mad that this video only contains Imperial units and it makes me even more mad that this video is so good while doing such a horrible thing
In the future, we'll have (possibly modified) people in sick Master Chief suits looking like meteors reentering the Atmosphere. Might even become a regular extreme sport.
for me the next real step is the first human reentry in the atmosphere ! Like for kittinger record it serves a real safety purpose more than a quest for numbers !
100 feet into water is quite survivable without much internal or external damage. At around 200 feet lethality is settled into water. There are many recorded jumps and dives from over 120 feet where the diver comes away with little to no injury. It is also a matter of technique, landing on your belly from 100 feet is likely death. Many trained professionals routinely jump from these heights without sustaining injury.

Of course, it would be much better if this video was made in metric instead. It is the international set of units of measurement, and he has an international audience. If everyone just started using metric now, we could go towards using metric for everything eventually.
@TheBigShot > "2/3 of his audience is in the US" He does have such large US following? That's interesting. Although considering he's more US-centric, that might not be too surprising. If he was more international, like using metric at all times, be might grow a larger international audience.
I wish this was in the base video honestly I don't feel like watching this documentary anymore because I really don't want to break immersion to check how much it is in meters every time
Really the main reason Kittinger was so successful was because he fully respected every part of achieving it. He understood the risks at every stage and not to mention did it without attempting to attain some sense of glory. He didn't rush the process
Orbital skydiving should be possible. It is a fascinating idea. I used to have a video game that started with skydiving from orbit. There just needs to be invented a safe way to bleed off velocity enough to prevent overheating. Maybe a very long Nomex streamer would do the trick. Or maybe some form of asbestos streamer. Or maybe a spherical capsule enclosing the diver made of a silica aerogel that sheilds from heat and reduces average density to that of a falling leaf or feather. The tile material from the space shuttle may also be a basis for a capsule, molded to fit the diver's body exactly to form a human sabot of sorts. Fun to think about but I would hesitate to be the first to try it.
That's not jumping! "That's falling.... with style!"

This feels like summoning salt on real life.
Also, I rewatched this after getting into the emperor's other content, and now it feels weird. Still good, but... now it feels like an off brand of himself.
Hot take: I have a feeling Summoning Salt doesn’t like that his music/art styles are straight up copied. If I were him, I’d probably encourage anyone trying to make a “world record history” video would try to be creative, and do things in their own style
His format is not a meme, it’s his style. We always dislike it when we see rip-offs of anything. And I know these aren’t rip-off channels and they’re just individual videos for the most part, but still, I think it’s good to use your own style to them
@Joshua Salem just so you know, the music summoning salt uses is really just a normal royalty free music track. Salt just uses it extremely effectively so most people end up associating the music with his videos.
I like how a redbull made such a big global PR event of Felix Baumgartner's jump, and then came along a random troll, a middle-aged unfit nerd with no jumping experience did it in one go.
I mean with a parachute you overcome the fear of jumping high , its not determined by genes , im pretty sure that with no parachute the jumper would be scared (rightly so!) to jump....
I've jumped off a 100 ft waterfall before. The entire right side of my body was bruised and my top frenulum of my mouth was sliced, but other than that I walked it off. Shit hurted tho ngl
Is it weird that I’m fascinated by human limitations?
>15,000 ft (4,572 m) = Humans begins suffering from the effects of hypoxia
>26,000 ft (8,000 m) = The Death Zone, the point in which humans can not survive without supplemental oxygen as oxygen levels are low enough for humans to breathe out more oxygen than they breathe in, thus eventually running out of oxygen.
>63,000 ft (19,000 m) = The Armstrong Line, where Near Space begins and the point in which humans can not survive without a pressurized suit as the atmospheric pressure is low enough and the boiling point of water is low enough that the boiling point of water is the same as or lower than the normal human body temperature of (98.6 °F (37 °C, 310.15 K)), thus causing ebullism.
>164,000 ft (50,000 m) = The Mesosphere, the point in which balloons will pop no matter what, thus making balloon flights up there impossible
>328,000 ft (100,000 m) = The Kármán Line, when Outer Space begins
It’s completely insane that people have survived falling from planes without a parachute or from cruise ships and survived. one woman fell off a cruise ship and tread water for over 12 hours before being rescued. the human body is crazy.
Surface tension has nothing to do with the fact that a long fall into water will kill you, I don't think. It's about deceleration, and how quickly the water can part for you.
Fun fact: Lingbergh did NOT make the first trans-atlantic flight. It was a pair of british fellas in an old bomber, and their flight was much more heroic.
" The highest point on planet Earth is located. Known as Mt. Chimborazo, the peak of this mountain reaches an attitude of 6,263.47 meters (20,549.54 ft) above sea level. But because it is located just 1° and 28 minutes south of the equator (at the highest point of the planet's bulge)" Businessinsider tallest-place-earth-mount-chimborazo
Alan Eustace didn't "jump", he was released. So the worlds highest "jump" still stands with Baumgartner who had to stand up, get to the edge, and make the decision to jump.
the story of Nick Piantanida is my absolute favorite story. There was an episode of ESPN's 30 for 30 on him called Angry Sky and I implore anyone interested in this kind of thing to check it out. They even captured his last words before he was crushed by the atmospheric pressure
Jumping from a satelite sounds interesting. But burning up reentering the atmoshere sounds like uh, well to horrible! But I wonder what if one could slow the decent of re-entry. Or would that make any difference? Is it even possible to slow down after jumping from a satelite.
6:20 I know "homo volans" (flying human) was probably just meant as a regular 17th century writing in Latin when talking about science but I like to imagine he was imagining a new species of human
The jump from 300,000 feet should be tried with a crash test dummy monitored with modern shock, thermal, electrical, radiation and g-force gauges...💥...and a camera for youtube!
It's settled: I'm jumping from a height of 1,333,337 feet from the ISS with a thicc-ass graphene suit and Elon Musk is going to be awaiting me on the ground to frame-perfect high-five me upon touchdown. That final bit is necessary because it adds the extra point. Judges will be standing (or jumping) by to determine if the high-five is within the 1/100 of a second window that's crucial for the extra point to count. We don't want to put all that time, effort, and money in for it to only be a 6-pt play. Let's not even talk about the 2-pt conversion…
Yes, we are all sure and there was no return, Vaders sacrifice was never in vein and it was a full-filling story where it chronologically ended at the "Return of the Jedi"
Gandalf was a special case. He was killed during the fight with the balrog, but not from falling as there was a lake at the bottom. However he is an immortal spirit and therefore exists outside of the physical realm, which explains how he was brought back to life.
I wish this was in the international sistem of measuring and not that wacky imperial units that are only use in United States and Liberia. (Metric units are far more simpler 1000m equals 1km making conversions extremely easy)
Weird subject. Never thought I'd actually be this interested in something like this. I feel like I'm watching a Fredrik Knudsen video, but with more memes.
One thin a lot of people forget about when in a plane crash is that not only do you have 0 control whatsoever, but those final moments can last entire minutes opposed to a car accident where the crash itself actually takes moments.
Based on the last 3 letters of my user name, I have nightmares about falling, specifiacally over shooting a jump and realizing I'm too high up to make a smooth landing....10 feet is about the farthest I've fallen, 5 feet is where I get scared....when I read about this jump bfore it happened I was 100% expecting him to die.
I have basophobia and figured joining the Army as a paratrooper would solve it... it didn't. Every time I jumped I was screaming and the other guys thought it was like a war cry or something but really it was to cope with the terror. Luckily as a paratrooper you are like toothpaste in a tube, you're jumping whether you want to or not. I got pretty good at passing out after dropping my tethered ruck and waking up right as the ruck hit the ground to PLF and not break anything.
Surface tension is not involved. It’s just inertia. The water has to accelerate in order to move out of the way and that takes a force. The faster you are going, the faster it has to move to get out of the way and the bigger the force has to be.
kittinger is the ultimate badass dude didnt even try and held the world record by an insane amount for over 50 years !!! what an absolute legend

your body is an enclosed system and i dont think your blood would boil due to your body maintaining its internal pressure, kind of like how trees have very low pressure in the crown and are still able to keep their internal water supply from boiling. A pressure suit was most likely needed just to breathe, keep your veins from expanding and to see as your eyes and lungs develop issues with low and high pressures. great video though :)
Strap me to the top of a V2 rocket with a pressure suit and point it straight up… the maximum height of a V2 rocket was 128 miles or 675,840 feet… jump off at the top and that’d be one hell of an increase to the record and a crazy ride… could probably be done with a few million if the right rocket technicians were involved… I mean they managed it back in the war with 1940’s tech
This record is kinda weird in the sense that, at what point does the suit become so complex that it’s not a “skydive”? I mean when astronauts return they free fall in a capsule with a parachute. What is keeping that from being the record?
Let's be real. You use green Simpsons characters to avoid getting strikes for copyrights thus able to keep your monetary standards in tack with YouTube. You're like slightly better than people who use graphic borders.
probably but unlike other topics 1.- the current record holder is not the interesting part, is the whole progression and some other guys 2.- this record may be broken in the future as suggested here
@Thndrstrike Never ever a Joe kittinger would be more fitting since he was an actual pioneer testing his pressure suit and new parachute designs. Not many will ever have the balls Joe kittinger had on those test flights, especially the third with his depressurized glove.
I fell from a 30 foot tall tree and had the branch land on me I broke 12 bones including 3 ribs and my ankle also prob broke my skull I dont remember much.
@Peter Smythe and every single plane will cost ton of fuel for just one trip....imagine 7.2 billion people fly at the same time.....the human will broke
Me personally, I've never flown. But I'm more scared driving because of NOT having control over other drivers' actions. Constantly watching behind me, sides etc.... Never know who's behind the wheel, what mental state they're in... So many unpredictable factors.
hell... I saw video of a guy and his wife casually driving and a BRICK, flew off of the back of a semi-truck and it completely decapitated the guys wife's head.... The truck just kept going because he was completely unaware of what happened... I mean imagine driving like any other normal day and within seconds you literally lose the person sitting beside you because of a freak accident. The world is a very scary and unpredictable place, I think we all need to be aware of the magnitude of how serious just a point A to point B drive can REALLY be.
I have loophole for falling into a liquid surface from high places. What if you land in an ocean of oil that is lighter than water itself and survive with minor injuries. I'm gonna research this and come back.
“There’s something so absolute about its outcome, to question it would be to question one’s own sanity.” Shows Palpatine falling into a pit and exploding, which he survives.
That was the intention behind the scene though, so he's kind of right. George said he wanted to mark that he couldn't come back and Anakin had absolutely killed him, exploding violently.
Everyone is misunderstanding the whole palpatine coming back thing. Yes palpatine died. But we can assume he had cloned bodies prepared before his death
When I was little me and my mates used to jump of climbing equipment and i can remember clearly falling over 12 feet with no sense of safety at all. This is why girls live longer than boys.
Just a little point about aircraft and automobile safety..... from fatalities per kilometers perspective aircraft are far more safe than cars. However, from a fatalities per trip perspective cars are far more safe. Feeling a little fear when one get in an airplane isn't entirely without merit especially for very long flights. To illustrate the point further,, astronauts travelling to Mars are very safe from km/fatality perspective but it would be far more dangerous from a trips/fatality perspective.
13:05 Actually, Lindbergh made the first SOLO non-stop transatlantic flight. The actual first non-stop transatlantic flight was made by John Alcock and Arthur Brown in 1919.
Man, I've gotten so used to HOME's We're Finally Landing being used as this triumphant song in these YouTube mini-documentaries. SummoningSalt almost always uses it in his World Record Progression videos and EmpLemon's used it before in the Dale Earnhardt video. So when I started to hear those opening chords during Nick Piantanida's jump, I started to get those goosebumps but the narration somehow left me with a twinge of doubt, which played excellently into the fakeout.
I have never seen that song been used so creatively, subverting the storied tradition of that song's use to intentionally deceive the audience for the shocking and unsatisfying heel-turn that was the failure of Piantanida's jump. Cutting the song off was absolutely brilliant and a masterful decision. Even if it was a little unsatisfying.
What a interesting topic I had to skip. After listening for about 10 minutes, I capitulated... why the heck is the height of everything in feet? Or even in thousands of feet - so unintuitive for non-American. (I can guess or translate some small distances... but as it is in thousands it’s completely off)
@Mr blu Eagle it's been a bit since Salt uploaded, and my memory is astoundingly terrible, so the voice difference went unnoticed, and Emp purposely emulated Salt as a joke. I assume.
At first I was wondering if it was ekharts ladder since he used resonance home which ekharts uses in the beginning and end of every video(with written permission)
Note 3:55 Spartan King Leonidas actually did kick someone down a pit like that. Fucking insane. Also he did say "THIS IS SPARTA!" Before doing it what a fucking gangster.
26:31 I am sorry but this part of brief informations is so damn out of my mind. A Stewardess falling 33,000 ft just like that (research is pretty crazy too)? A guy on a lawn chair with a BB Gun? What the actual fuck are these? lol What I wanted to say is that, it is very entertaining to watch
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.
The death zone is only temporarily survivable with oxygen. Elite athletes have a few survivable days with O2. The pressure is so low you can't absorb enough oxygen even with pure O2. Its not a term used in flight. Above 42,000' hypoxia will set in for pilots without pressurization. At that altitude they have several minutes to a couple hours before acute hypoxia sets in. Above 50,000' the pressure is so low that the boiling point of water falls below body temperature causing a much more urgent need to lower altitude or restore pressurization. There are many factors at play here that cause different considerations for flight vs mountaineering. Climbers go through a 1-4 week long acclimation porcess to increase their tolerance to high elevation conditions. Pilots have less tolerance because they can't go through the acclimation process like climbers. Pilots on the other hand don't spend very much time at altitude unpressurized so they can go higher. The amount time you are exposed to low pressure conditions is very important.
Dudes out here trying to break the record for highest fall survived while my grandma just got the lowest fall that was fatal. Old hag fell off a chair and met her maker
@Meme Lord Honestly, I did not expect that he would be really good at making these documentaries, the fact that he makes a topic I'm not interested in enjoyable to watch is surprising.

100 feet into water is completely survivable, without even injuries. The highest water jump ever was 54 m (192 feet), and the person walked away unscathed. There are multiple YouTubers that jump close to 30m on a regular basis and that also usually don’t get hurt
Hey, during the 2 and a half minutes where you said literally nothing of value I decided I'm either happy for you, or sorry that happened. In either case I could not care less, next time try to pace your video in a way that might actually retain the attention of a wider audience and not just those with learning disabilities.
i meant you can't say that's the only thing that lead him to be successful. it was most likely the fact he had connections to some of the smartest engineers at the time because that one old guy that couldn't get off the ground had spent 20mil. then again he did allegedly say it was more than it should have cost.
I’ve actually been working on a set of art pieces depicting embodiments of certain phobias every October. I’m going to use this video as a reference for Basophobia next October.
Yep you are officialy my favorite youtuber. I started watching since the leafy video cause I was intrested and ever since Ive been sticking around. Your videos are some of the most entertaining vids ive ever seen. I dont care how long ur vids are or how long it takes for them to come out i will watch them. Even if I dont know much about the topic. Your vids are entertaining. Cant wait for the next upload. I'll stick around for a very long time
I started the same too lol (with the leafy video). Although I found his Behind the Meme drama cringey and a little pointless, I think his new content is great.
At first, I was confused why you were doing this since I'm used to internet analysis on this channel, but you really can make anything sound interesting that I might not have cared about otherwise. Plus, it's kind of a nice change of pace from something on Youtube being fucked up. I hope you do more of these kinds of things.
Higher chance of dying in a car crash due to frequency, far higher chances of it happening in every single plane crash that happens though. That’s the difference.
idk what you're talking ab with movies using falling as "finality" half the time characters that fall into a pit return. Hell, Gandalf returned, Palpatine returned, The Coyote returns - and you showed footage of all of those lol
I actually love watching his format of his videos and I am thrilled to see it being used for things other than speedrunning because it's just a great way to make videos
Fun fact: the video of Joe Kittinger’s first high-altitude jump (the one where he blacked out) was used in the music video for Dayvan Cowboy by Boards of Canada.
2:08 the song is Resonance by HOME and it's probably one of the best song's I've ever heard in my life. Highly recommend with nice speakers/headphones. Have a good day :)
Icarus flew with newly wings made of wax and feathers. He ventured toward the sun, dreaming to touch it. As he drew closer, the wax melted. Soon, he fell into the sea where he drowned.
You're confusing phobias. Fear of flying had nothing to do with falling or control. Plenty of people are afraid of heights and have no problem getting in a plane.
This is the best coverage I've seen online of Joe Kittinger's jump and his subsequent involvement (or lack thereof) with record-breaking jumps! Thanks so much for making this, and for compiling so much information about earlier jumps.
A similarly interesting (and even more dangerous/fatal-- seriously, the fatality rate is nuts!) history is of deepest dives, including free diving with and without oxygen and then all the way to ultra deep-diving. Because of nitrogen narcosis, etc, many record holders have no memory of their time in the depths, which is pretty freaky. It's a wild rabbit hole!
20:10 : You put... The wrong picture. That's not Yuri Gagarin, that's Valentina Terechkova, the first WOMAN to ever go to space. I know we Russians all look alike and it's hard to tell the gender through a spacesuit but well...
Bruh when you talked about the first people to enter stratosphere I felt chills in my body. Imagine being in a hot air balloon and you can like see the planets curve and that stuff. Literally breathtaking
If he spends his money on a business venture instead and hopefully gains some success then after 10-20 years he could just pay a group of professional to make his dream a reality
...so? What's the point of having money if not for doing stuff you deem fun and are unharmful for other people? Did he do something bad just because he's got more money than the most of us? I mean, isn't this why we all work and try and earn more money than minimum wage? I'm currently saving money to get a license to sail small boats. I don't even know how to swim and am shitscared of being in any body of water larger than my sink, but, shit, that seems cool as fuck, just sailing to whatever.
@George M. Enache Bruh, the person was not attacking the guy for spending his money on trying to make a world record. That’s fine. The person was pointing out how sad it was that someone spent so much money only for them to die, while another person spent nothing and gained what the person died for. There’s nothing wrong with spending your money on something you’re passionate about and which doesn’t hurt anyone inherently. It’s just sad that someone died with so much lost.
I Wonder when MrBeast is going to make a video going 420,069 meters up Into space and then jumping into a sea of Lamborghinis in the middle of Greenland.
You missed the fact that every 1,000 feet reached in altitude, a person's genitalia miraculously increases in volume of the molecular structure of steel exponentially.
half a century and half a dozen people tried to breaks kittingers record then some nerd that worked at google just decided he was gonna break it, ok i guess.
Looks like your comment got buried in and throughout all the others. Considering your sub count, this must be new for you, huh? Well this it what it feels like my friend.
Even though I don't watch your content and haven't even met you
Palpatine falling into the core and fucking disintegrating was indeed supposed to show finality. Imagine if it turns out he didn't die cause Disney couldn't make a villain
Emp seriously has some of the best editing and scripting I’ve ever seen. Goes to show that anyone can make anything super engaging if they spin it right
"Project Man-High" reminds me of that family guy joke where the guy who names military Operations is on vacation so they just call it "Operation Blow up Peter's House" or something
true if the earth was flat the gravity would be different because the shape of earth's atmosphere. and if any body is a flat earther look at this- the earth's atmoSPHERE. edit: how did i already get likes to something that should have not gotten likes? weow
Are flat earthers really still being disproved? It's like saying you're disproving people who don't believe in apples every time you eat an apple. Love your profile pic btw
@mothiieeo yes. It was kinda getting a bigger attention a year or two ago. If you do debate one, I've read its best to explain in a non egotistical/combative manner, in easy to understand ways, and to listen to them and not just waiting for your time to talk next.
I am so glad a video on this subject has been made. A couple years ago I developed a strong interest in reading about the Earth's atmosphere, including human exploration and the legendary stratosphere jumps. It's a subject I enjoy reading every now and then.
You stated in the video that August Piccard claimed to have seen the curvature of the earth, that’s not what he said. He said ‘ it seemed like a flat disc with upturned edges.
Chike M He was looking out an extremely small viewing window of just a few inches. He said the curve wasn't easily discernible but expected that if he had a ruler it would be easily seen. If you are going to quote passages then quote in their entirety for context and completeness. He never referred to the earth as being flat but used the term globe numerous times.
@Robert Cook He did refer to the earth being a flat disc, further more he did not state that he saw the curvature of the earth as you stated in your video. You should really practice what you preach. How can the rest of the information in your video be relied on? Me thinks not. Good day Sir.
This was very educational, inspiring, and humbling. Definitly closer to a grand TV documentary than the "le meme historians" that a lot of the comment section is comparing you to.
There was a muslim scientist called abas bin fernas he made a flying suit and jumped and flown for a period of time then landed but broke some bones (a lot of people think he died but he survived for another 12 years the one who died is al johari) and he flown in the 9th century and his jump was from the top of a mosque so around 20-60 meter at that time (60-160ft)
YAAA I JUMPED LIKE 21 FEET OFF THE HIGHEST POINT OF MY PLAYGROUND AT SCHOOL AND LIKE 14 KIDS WERE WATCHING BECAUSE I WANTED TO HAVE THE HIGHEST JUMP RECORD LOL i landed on my feet and it was on moltch so I was fine other then my legs hurting for the day
Mr. Death: so how did you die . shun: illness while touring. Mr. Death: so do you want to know how you were remembered in the 21th century. Shun: YES, How. Mr. Death: well being the first written down man that jumped off a 2 story building with intent, that they know of. Shun: what...... Mr. Death: yea some dude made a video on man's leaps to the ground.
Not to nitpick but your fear of planes having no control if something goes wrong is just as true for cars as it is planes. If your wheel pops off or you fuck up a turn and fly off a cliff wtf can you do to. your just as much along for the ride as your are if a plane suddenly loses a wing. On top of that planes have so many safety features in case of something goes wrong its insane. Even if say both engines fail a pane can glide for over 50 miles. You are just as much in ctonrol of your destiny in most vehicles you get it.That kinda the point of vehicles in the first place. A helicopter is honestly the most unsafe if your really talking about falling. If a propeller goes down then yea you are just along for the ride.
Interestingly, a minecraft block is considered to be a meter tall, 4 meters would equate to roughly 12 feet, so it’s plausible minecraft is based somewhat on real life.
So these last 2 records were not done with a Go Pro? There's your next record-holder's sponsor I'd think. What a waste of a jump if there's no go pro involved. My snowboarder video game has playback and 's lol pretty cool to watch your avatar bust massive air while spinnig and what not before decending. It's pretty realistic I meana you can feel the motion just watching a screen. Imagine a go pro jump turned VR experience. Man it couddy heart attack.
That park is 3 minutes down the road from where I live. And somehow this video is the first time I've actually seen what it looks like from the inside. The park always struck me as strange since it's kind of sort of inside of that airport lol.
1:11 - "Sir there are some police here to see you about irregularities in the pension funds"..."I see, could you make them a cup of tea please Stephanie?"
1:38 palpatine falling was so absolute it only took them 1 disney money machine takeover to bring him back to life magically in episode 9 bc plot armor and we need to recycle a villain. i hate disney.
How has no one ever done this research this seriously before? Flying is written down to a tee, but "Jumping" seems completely overlooked... ...perhaps not very useful information....hmm...
anyone else think its kinda fucked up kittinger refused to talk to the first guy to try to break his record and he ended up dying but gives his blessing to the redbull guy
when i first watched it, I saw that joe kintigers line was over 100'000 feet, and my eyes widened. then the beat dropped, and I got the chills. the best part of the whole damn video.

This isnt the highest jump. Alan Eustace jumped even higher without a capsule, his ht. was 135,908 ft. Baumgartner's was 127,850 and he was in a capsule.
Great video! However the advertisement was terrible. I don't have anything against product placements but this one was a poorly produced, misplaced ad for a product very little people will ever use.
Really Appreciated the Kirby Squeak Squad music. Represent.

Water becoming like concrete over a certain height is not accurate. As long as you break the surface tension with a small surface area you’ll be fine. This is why people survive jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge, and why the world record high dive into water is 192ft. Show me someone surviving a fall onto concrete from 192ft.
Im stuck in a pleasant youtube rabbit hole of well researched, presented, and edited videos on unique topics and I can't stop. Awesome job with this video EmpLemon, it was a joy to watch
50,000 feet is slightly more than 9 miles. The Earth's circumference is about 25,000 miles. At nine miles up there is absolutely NO WAY you can see a curvature. Sorry, try again!!
How tf is that comparable at all? You feel patronized, unwanted and a last thought whenever EmpLem uploads? Your joke set up sucks, but theres a good joke in there somewhere. 5/10
Papua New Guinea - A tribe has been "bungee jumping" with vines from 60-80 fT? According to the docu I saw probably for at least the last few hundred if not longer.. The Fore people, I believe, also the same tribe that ate the brain of dead kin and was in the past severely affected by the prion kuru. Source: Nat Geo Maybe?
He was the first to cross the Atlantic solo (and in a single-engine plane too). That's still mighty impressive if you consider that only recently were two-engined commercial passenger flights OK'd to cross the Atlantic (previously it was 3+ only).
Charles Lindbergh was a great dude. In 1925 he was the key Pilot in the attempt to rescue the trapped caver Floyd Collins. The stuff in this video in 1926. 1927 in a CONTINUOUS NON STOP SOLO FLIGHT (which he was the first to do) across the atlantic, and also because he got a song after him. Lucky Lindy. And for all that success? He got his fucking infant son stolen and killed. The Lindbergh Baby.
No, both US and the soviet union did not send the first astronaut in the orbit, Soviet union send the first astronaut, US was one year later THE SECOND.
Only to be reminded that some google IT staff member attempted a jump first try, despite having no experinces in daredevil stunts. As always, no room for the little guys.
Drigonis Kyle is the son of Kelly Farrington. Check out Velocityrigs.com to see more about the company. Kyle is a great young man and has plenty of evidence. I have sat in Kelly’s office with Kyle and enjoyed listening to Kyle tell me stories about his favorite planes. If you want some evidence to my knowledge of this you can find my bio on the company website. I can send you photo of me with one of the two rigs built for the Stratos project from an expo where the rig and this jump were featured. Kyle is just a young man who is super proud of his dad and I hope you can find it in your heart to tell him how cool it is.
@DJ Marvin yeah, but do you really think this is the kind of guy you find on the internet every day? no. super low chance. and plus, so many people fake their identity online. that's why i highly doubt it lol
@Drigonis Are cool people not on the internet? You got the whole skydiving world on you because Kelly told us all what you said to his kid and we're here to back him up. It's good to be sceptical but also be willing to learn something and change your mind! You could end up meeting some amazing people IRL from this whole thing!
Kyle's dad Kelly did make the harness for this jump. Check it out for yourself. https://felixbaumgartner.com/worlds-fastest-man/ "The initial concept for the Red Bull Stratos personal parachute system was developed and design process spearheaded by skydiving consultant Luke Aikins, in collaboration with Felix and the mission’s science team including expert consultants from Sage Cheshire Aerospace. Luke took his ideas to Kelly Farrington, founder of Velocity Sports Equipment."
i wasn't doubting that his dad didn't build the harness- i said I doubt that this is him, and i have many reasons for that. there's so many lies on the internet that you can't trust if what people say is true or not anymore
@Eddie if you laugh at people for doubting crap on the internet you're clearly new to the internet. especially on youtube, almost everything is fake. why do you have a problem with me doubting something?
@Drigonis idk why everyone is calling you a doubter and some other childish crap. This is the internet and you shouldn't believe everything you read on it. You are absolutely correct, there is no evidence this is the real person.
@Darki the fuck do you mean? there is a super low chance of me winning the lottery 5 times and inventing time travel in one day, does that mean that it can still happen? sure, possible, but, it will literally never happen in a million quadrillion duovigintillion years. there is a super low chance of anything happening. there is a super low chance of a bear attacking you RIGHT NOW, but it wont, because its A SUPER LOW CHANCE and it is safe to say it will not happen.
Yeah but your first point already contradicted yourself kinda. I mean so you still feel more scared when riding in a car when you’re NOT the driver? You have no control then. Let’s say back seat passenger side so you don’t really even have the option to grab the steering wheel. I’m willing to bet you feel much safer there still then on a plane. The real reason is because while statistically yes you’re more likely to die in a car crash than be in a plane crash, you’re also almost 100% likely to die in a plane crash if you’re ever in one. Vs a car crash that can happen at much lower speeds. It’s also less random. Usually with a car crash it’s due to you or someone else operating the vehicle inappropriately for the situation. Driving too fast for the conditions causing loss of control (whether it be due to someone in front of you suddenly changing lanes or because you’re going too fast around a turn or because it’s raining and you lose traction), or driving intoxicated, or not paying attention. Something like that. It’s much more rare that an accident will happen that will result in your death at almost a 100% chance if something just goes wrong with your car, like the engine blows up or something, or you pop a tire. Whereas with a plane, while sure there’s human error that has caused plenty of plane crashes, the majority of them happen from something failing. Whether it be totally accidental, caused by poor maintenance, or even caused by human error in terms of say flying into a storm and choking out the engines with water. The point being that even if caused by human error, if something like that goes wrong in the air, you can’t just immediately come to stop on the side of the road safely and get a tow. No, you’re restricted to either having a pilot who is good enough to land the plane in an emergency landing, which happens but also requires enough things to still be ok with the plane and the right circumstances based on location, or you completely lose control and you’re 100% crashing which is essentially a death sentence. It’s not the probability of it happening that worries people, it’s that if it DOES happen, there’s then a VERY high chance they’re going to die now. Whereas in a car there’s a much higher chance they’ll survive or even just have injuries than die.
If there’s anybody that would like a guinea pig to drop from the ISS/Virgin just get in touch. It’s not as if I’ve anything to lose (stage 4 metastasised cancer that’s terminal) so why not make use of me whilst I can still think clearly? It would be great to set a record for my mates after all the HALO/HAHO jumps we’ve done and they’d be up for it, even if I pancaked!
I was gonna make a joke about how this was a summoning salt video, but then I heard that dam song at 24:15 and now it actually is a summoning salt video
The element of control is exactly why I love flying and am terrified of learning how to drive. If someone gets hurt when I'm driving, it's at least in part my fault and I have to live with that. Flying is very safe and in the case that something does go wrong, I don't have to take responsibility for the consequences.
8If you are seriously real about making an unbreakable achievement you will need to use the best tech at the time. You need to calculate how much you can wheigh without being carried into space. The balloon issue is a thing so just jump off a rocket going opposite the earths turn and know you will regain consciousness before splatting, easy concept but to get there is too much money for me to care.
as soon as I saw the thumbnail I thought that it was EmpLemon making a joke on the Summoning Salt, being that he's watched him (as evidence by recommended channels), not to mention his and Salt's videos are shown side by side in my recommendations. I didn't expect it to be a genuine emotional video. Kudos in general, both for the memes and an actual interesting video. I actually didn't know that a Google VP broke Baumgartner's record. Thank you.
9k wait i understnad many of the records need verification but why thiss one need? What could he have done to fake it, there wadnt equipment restrictions and with the recordings and shit i doubt there was doubt about it happening, so what was there to verify? Drugs? Xd
Spoilers: Emp sells ‘Keeps’ hair loss spray. While reading the ad Emp’s legs are wide open, so wide in fact they take a third of the screen. Some say he uses ‘Keeps’ on his keeper and the framing of the ad confirms this. That’s right, his groin.
@Roger Dodger It's especially funny when people overplay their "metric makes more sense" hand and do something ridiculous like criticize the use of nautical miles.
There's literally 0 reason for you to have outright copied summoning salts editing lol. It doesn't even make sense for this type of video. You clearly know how to edit so I just don't get it
@Garathon these types of comments are just a cheap way of getting likes without conveying anything meaningful and this comment was just that, it's as cringy as it is tired
0:28 hold up now idk how old this is but aint it illegal to do experiments and shit to baby's ? Ik its not like a harmful experiment. but I just thought I remember that shit being illegal or sum
I hate when people use statistically speaking you are more likely to die in a car crash than a plane crash. There are several factors that create a huge gap to where those two can't be compared. Cars have limited space, way more cars move about throughout any given day than planes, other cars close proximity, and potential drivers not paying attention (traffic signals, road signs, slightly drifting out of designated lane etc...). Only thing a plane has to worry about is mechanical failure, because once something stops working on a plane things could get real bad real quick and to prevent this regular inspections are carried out before flying.
Although Eustace claimed the new balloon height record, both Eustace and Baumgartner would hold their respective own respective records for jump height and freefall recognized by the FAI since they were categorized differently. Eustace would hold the "Drogue Chute Assisted" record whereas Baumgartner claimed the "Unassisted" record. Fast Man Go NYOOOOM

Haha the star wars palpatine fall no longer represents finality because modern movie writers are garbage and don’t care about intrinsically human storytelling
Thanks for including metric measurements. It’s a relief as many of us have no idea how feet work. Just make it more consistent. A lot times meters are forgotten
Holy shit. I stumbled across this video outta nowhere and I’m glad I did! The use of the music from Spanky’s Quest from the SNES at 5:29 made my day. I remember that game from my childhood and haven’t heard or seen it in at least 15 years. That shit made my day, thank you for that!
Theoretically, if a person were to begin a jump with little to no horizontal motion, the limiting factor would be acceleration due to gravity, and the issue of fast moving small bits of space junk being everywhere
i had no interest in this topic and dont watch videos this long, i clicked on it out of boredom and watched the entire thing because i didn't realize the length and you had me interested throughout the entire video. this is one of the best videos on youtube honestly
Videos like this are why I love YouTube. This is something I do not “need” to know…but am always so happy to have discovered, and tucked into a small corner of my brain.
A lot of people after Joe missed out on some really cool names for their project like heavens falling or cloud jumper just something cooler than space jump
Damn, I never knew that Felix Baumgartner's record was broken. I guess it just shows how much Red Bull invested into it to make a publicity stun. And it worked
Alan's jump may be one of the most random events in history, like he just stood up one day, thought to himself "fuck it im going to break the skydiving record" and just did it first try
Crazy to think wilt chamberlain’s record from the 1968-69 season and before are all just as long standing as joe kittinger’s jump and soon his entire career will be longer ago than joes record and this year marks that bill Russell’s career was all 52 years ago and longer ago than the amount of time kittingers record stood which is insane how many records bill has in his career and wilt before Kareem was drafted because that was almost 52 years ago like really close and that is just insane and Kareem played until 1989 finals 20 years just like Kobe’s career both were season shy of the record until Vince carter made them 2 seasons shy in 2020 and Kareem played until almost the ninetys which is insane
Edit:wilts rebounds in a game record was set only like four months after the jump
Clearly these are all falls because a jump would imply an arc.
It is with that noted that I elect my cousin Jumbo who did that sick backflip and totally jumped 2 meters up from a standing position to be the best jumper of all jumpers.
Would've been neat to include metric units aswell. And before people get mad: Yes, I know, I can just calculate the difference in my head. Still, I reckon a significant part of the audience is not American. It's just a matter of convenience.
For some reason i thought that the video was about people learning to jump higher and higher without using objects and now i want to see that kind of video...
2:29 that 3 feet jump would cause excruciating pain in the peritoneum area. I'd crouch to ease the pain. Don't know what's wrong with me. Can't jump as I used to when I was a child
Anyone here who has skydived and bungee jump will tell you the same thing; bungee jumping is waaaaaay scarier. Above a few hundred feet the body loses its internal response to heights. So when you stand in the fuselage of that Cessna and they open the door, it's just surreal
For me anyway, I've never felt fear in a parachute, it always opens before the fear threshold. I hope my luck remains that way as well ;)
But bungee jumping, your body KNOWS and it says LOUDLY 'ah hell no!'. Not that that stopped me the few times I've done it but it wasn't fun until after the first bounce - in the air, not off the ground.
Actually if u have a fear of falling like me u should have zero problems going on an airline or for example a tall rollercoaster but if u actually have a fear of heights thats a whole different ballgame
Isn't the highest jump about 380 000 km? People have been to the moon and landed on the earth again, so it could be considered as a jump. Just like the people who cut part of their hot air balloons to descend with a parachute while standing in a sort of basket, the capsule astronauts were in are necessary parts.
Really nice vid, I appreciated it from start to finish... except the fact that that you're measuring thing with fucking feets that nobody else in the world knows what they're representing
If you're flying your own aircraft, you actually have more control if something goes wrong than in a car. It's not a fear of flying on a plane, its a fear of being a passenger on a plane.
Hey emp, you forgot to list the music at 12:03. I've definitely heard it before, but i'm sure most people including myself don't know the actual name of it. If anyone does though, please let me know. :3
landing in water at 100+ feet is NOT the same as landing on concrete. This is a myth that for some reason gets spread around I guess because it sounds interesting. But while landing in water at large hights can certainly be dangerous, particularly due to having the air knocked out of you or going falling unconscious upon impact and then subsequently drowning, the physical impact to your body and organs is MUCH MUCH less severe than falling at the equivalent hight onto actual concrete. Furthermore, when it comes to falling in water there are various methods in which you can further mitigate the physical impact, such as landing feet first with your arms braced across your chest, while there are no such similar mitigation techniques when it comes to landing on actual concrete - no matter your position or posture you're in big trouble. Mythbusters also has a segment on this where a surgeon takes xrays of pigs that have fallen from identical heights on both concrete and water and the injuries sustained, while major in both cases, are at least survivable in the case of landing in water.
Ive jumped around 23 feet off a playground because of a dare. Thankfully playgrounds are built a with stupidity in mind so the only thing i got was sprained ankles
im gonna be honest i thought this was going to be about high jumps like. the olympic kind. so i saw the title of "the dawn of the space jump" and my first, dumbass, tired-brain thought was "man. people can really jump into space. thats crazy"
It depends. Humans can survive any fall. It’s just really rare that someone survives it. There was a woman who fell out of an airplane without a parachute and survived. And when you’re falling you reach a point where you don’t go any faster. So even if she fell from even higher up it would still be the same. It all depends on the way you fall, where you land, how you land and more. If you go into a ball then you will probably die since you would fall at max speed. (I think max speed is about 60 mph). If you stretch out then you will fall slower. And if you dive then you will die.
The best way to survive is to spread out like a starfish and then when you’re about to land on the ground land on your feet and make sure your head doesn’t hit the ground too hard or at all, make it so your lega take all the impact snd try to roll.
that flight attendant survived that plane crash yes, but she was on her sitting inside the broken in half plane. so she didnt free fall all by herself. guess she was very lucky because most the fall was absorbed by the plane when it crashed on the grown.
@tremoxo i wasn’t talking about a flight attendant, sorry. It was a woman who was skydiving butmher parachute didn’t work and her other parachute also didn’t work.
I started paying attention at the Minecraft ref(it's 8am and I'm sitting here fixing my auto potato farm as 3 farms turned into witches) and...(oh yeah, feather falling allows you to fall further ;)...yeah I know it's an enchantment, it's not counted haha) However, at seeing Mick get thrown off the Cell again...yeah you got me for the full 35mins now buddy boy!
One softwarey boi or 50 years of preparation, endorsement from a company who is steeped in extreme sports and the blessing of the previous record holder?
20:06FACEPALM Can't you tell the difference between a man and a woman?! That's not Yuri Gagarin, that's Valentina Tereshkova - THE FIRST WOMAN IN SPACE.
If you’re gonna EXECUTE a prisoner by throwing them off a 100 plus foot tower, why the hell would you give them a paraglider even if it was primitive and not likely to even work. It’s just weird why you wouldn’t just chuck them off without anything so there’s a way lower chance of survival
21:40 how can you say that they covered up Dolgov's death for years, when they awarded him posthumously with Hero of the Soviet Union in the same 1962 year? The village he was born in was named Dolgovo after him in 1963. What is the foundation for such claim?
@gub * Nah, I'm American and we use the metric system here as well. It's called Canada, the country which recently turned into a communist dictatorship thanks to Prime Minister Blackface exploiting the pandemic to obtain unlimited power.

This just proves that EmpLemon and Summoning Salt are the same person. First they both use the same music being the song "We're Finally Landing" By the band HOME. Now guess, what, he is using the same font as him for the intro along with the same music being "Resonance" by HOME. Now you might say "this is just a satirical parody as is usual with EmpLemon" and to that I say that you don't have any evidence to back you up. Another common feature with EmpLemon his is common use of Nintendo game music, and guess what, most of Summoning Salt's videos are on Nintendo games. Not enough for you? Well, Summoning Salt's origins are really unknown except for the fact that he used to speedrun a game called Punch Out for the Nintendo Entertainment System and he doesn't have his face out in the open. Therefore, his identity is not fully known and therefore is out in the open. Another thing is that both of their current styles of youtube today started in 2017, marking a significant change content-wise at the same time for both channels. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
2013 Emplemon: haha funny video edits 2015 Emplemon: Downward Spiral Downward Spiral 2017 Emplemon: YouTube bad, meme connoisseur 2019 Emplemon: I'll make informative video essays and high-quality documentaries on history, pop culture, and law 2020 Emplemon: JUNP
Felix Baumgartner / Alan Eustace is the perfect example of the effects of marketing. I knew about Felix Baumgartner's jump, but never even heard of Alan Eustace before watching this video.
SuiSunday while this video is celery inspired by SS, Emp has used the “summoning salt song” before in an completely unrelated video to pretty much similar success and acclaim. If you go on the official YouTube video of “Home - Were finally landing” you’ll get about as many Emp references in the comments as you do SS
Imagine watching this video without knowing how many meters a feet is. That's me, I'm clueless about all these heights and I'm too lazy to open google lol.
2:29 should help you a bit(!) Though with that said, the metric system is effectively the equivalent of the English language for measurements, it'd be crazy not to include those units...
the conversion is devision by 3 and then -10%. So 33 feet -> 11 - 10% -> 10m "a bit less than a third" is a good approximation to have at least an idea what the scale is.
i just wanted to point out you can withstand a fail into the water from a great high if you break the surface tension with something first. how most of the time is the difference between dieing instantly or drowning because you broke every boon in your body. it will not work if you hit the water at terminal velocity because your body can not tack the G different.
God I get so jealous whenever I watch that space jump. I can't watch it through, it fills me with such a weird anguish knowing that I'll never do that.
I never understood how these records work. For example, shouldn't the record for longest free fall belong to one of the astronauts who spent months in free fall on the ISS?
I used to jump off of every single piece of the jungle gym during recess. One time, I jumped off the top row of bleachers in the gymnasium, and I can still remember the impact, reverberating up through my body. My fascination with jumping off stuff was pretty much extinguished after that. Although, I did jump off of a 15-20 foot cliff , I would estimate, in 1000 islands after my bleacher stunt. That impact was also very memorable, as the water felt an awful lot like concrete. Also, I remember that undertaker vs mick Foley match. I was watching with my dad, it was crazy af.
Sub'd. Bell'd. Emp, it is criminal that the YouTube algorithm favors pure meme vids and morons playing games over quality like this. You're a guy who can make memes and gamers into documentary pieces that aren't lame.
I jumped off my parents' roof a couple times as a kid. Somewhere between 9 and 10 feet. I kneed myself in the chin and chipped a tooth on my final jump.
you can make it further, 70-80 foot jumps are totally fine as long as you dont panic on the way down, i havent gone past 50, but my mom did one back when she was in high school from about 75 feet.
Brings be back to when at my after school club we would jump form the top of the playground about 15ft as a right of passage into the cool kids club, ah the good old days
The Visual Cliff experiment actually found that infants that were just learning to crawl would crawl over the "cliff" with no fear, but after the babies had about a month of crawling experience they wouldn't cross the "cliff" anymore. This probably means that we aren't innately afraid of heights but that we learn to be afraid of heights as we figure out how to travers our environments and make mistakes like trying to crawl down stairs or other drops.
Exactly what I was thinking!!! I'm scrolling through the comments for around 10 minutes, reaching for someone who talked about the Jethro Tull and Soft Machine songs
Little bit about the US Army and their original paratrooper programs. The US Forest Service had experimented with using parachute equipped hotshots prior the the Army's interest. The Smokejumper program, or at least what it would later become the smokejumpers, trained the first paratrooopers and instructors.
14:35 now there's the scene I've been thinking about for the whole video I was 99% sure it would be in here somewhere and there it is lol. Do a flip!!!
Joe Kittinger was n pioneer because when he jumped he was testing and developing the equipment he was using in Real Time aka no guarantees . Feliz is a cool daredevil who had about $400 million of that RedBull money behind him. Alan Eustace is history's greatest troll.
Just how are we supposed to believe the exact height people got to jumping out of stuff hundreds of years before the invention of the altimeter or any other possible technology that can be used to measure height???? Let alone the idea of being able to verify any source that's hundreds of years old and before the modern age of technology
No hate on the video but a big common misconception you mention is about Lindbergh being the first to do a non stop trans Atlantic flight when Infact I believe around 40 years before two British aviators flew from Canada landing in Ireland but due to them not being media personality’s like Lindbergh it was never majorly documented, in fact there was 18 ( I believe may be a few more or less long time since I research it) trans Atlantic flights before he ever crossed it in short he is a huge fraud
I enjoyed the video, but it suffers from the same issue many videos on this platform suffer from, the generic background music is WAY TOO FUCKING LOUD!!!!!!
Your status & wealth makes it easier for you to receive formal falling training and prior medical wellness procedures on your body, granting you better odds.
Your athleticism can reduce the damage you receive on impact.
Your intellect will likely affect how you try to take your fall, to make for a favorable experience.
"Theres a common misconception that landing in water will break your fall, but due to shrface tension all you will break is most of your bones" Best. Quote. Ever.
Alan Eustace: Reminding all of us plebs that no matter how hard we try, if a rich asshole with money wants to, he can do better than us at anything we work for.
I don’t see how he did anything different? He did that himself, there wasn’t any more safety for him, if anything, his attempt was even more daring just hanging from a weatherballoon, and then diving back down. He did all of that HIMSELF. I don’t see what your point is, it’s not like Felix built the balloon or suit himself if that’s what you mean, of course not and that’s not important.
Both worked equally as much and the fact that some random guy working for a tech company can do that just shows that the record can be broken by anyone. I think that’s more optimistic than anything.
Hey I was sitting in my my PlayStation at 11:30 and i randomly slept.Because i had the controller still in my hand i was going up and down and i put this video then i woke up at 4:30
just kidding, I think my knees buckled on impact causing me to go into sitting position and my ass and thighs got clapped by the water. Had to rest for a while but I was fine afterwards and everyone found it humorous. It was my birthday, LMAO.
4:15 Hey, I've hiked up Preikestolen! When I was 9... ... My life was interesting, to say the least... A Canadian, living in Norway, moving to Texas, then almost moving to Scotland, but going back to Canada instead, all while going to Canada every summer...
@MAN OF PILLOW DOOM At the very beggining of halo 3 it says that MC fell trough 2km, noble six fell trough literally orbit, more than 100km apparently Guessing that the supercarrier was in LEO, maybe it was in nearly the same altittude of the actual ISS 400km
Emp Lemon - Falling off cliffs means it's over the character. Shows LOTR, Star Wars, Dark Knight, Road Runner, all instances where characters falling didn't result in a permanent death.
@JayDeey You’re wrong. It doesn’t “still [apply]) because it never applied to begin with. This came out well after Palpatine’s return. It’s a joke. Get over it.
I really wish you'd use more metric measurements, makes this video pretty hard to follow with all the heights in feet :/
EDIT: after watching the whole video, i actually change my mind. it would've been super disruptive to keep hearing "... or X meters" at the end of every height. plus the numbers are so huge that it's not like anyone would have an intuitive understanding of these numbers regardless of metric/imperial system
@PizzaPiePerson I mean in the bottom of the corner with an asterisks, actual annotations I feel would have been too intrusive

My dude, just divide feet by 3 to get basically meters (within 10%). Just do the mental math in your head, the way Americans do for metric units. It's like converting currency, and it'd be silly to complain about not having conversion to Pounds or USD or Euro or whatever, yeah?
imagine a collab between Emp, Summoning Salt, and Jon Bois(another fantastic content producer, who primarily talks about sports, though his videos are a must watch even if you dont care about sports like I do)
The Record is held by an American. So we are going to use the American system. If you want to change the record to metric then you should try to jump from space.
When I was 8 I jumped off the highest point of my swing set and fell probably 16 feet into solid dirt with my legs locked. I somehow didnt break anything but spent an hour rolling on the ground in pain. I think I just split tf out of my shins. Just something weird I found when you talked about heights to mortality.
I think that saying that the reason we feel safer in a car versus a plane being control is a little flawed. Sure that plays into it but, if that were the sole reason youd expect people to be afraid of taxis, busses, or trains just as mush as they are of planes, but they are not. I believe the main reason people disproportionally fear planes over any other form of transport; regardless of it being one of the safest forms of transport, is the unfamiliarity of the environment. When you are in a plane youre in a strange and unfamiliar place. Most people who fear flying are not doing it very often. Not only is the plane itself unfamiliar but, your view out the window is too. This fear of the unknown and unfamiliar only compounds when you add factors like clouds or darkness. It also does not help that when there is a plane crash its usually big news, specially very fatal ones.
EmpLemon: Controversial MemeLord who can make such amazing and well researched videos on odd topics that are amazing. No matter what anyone says man, you are a column of the Tube. Your an OG man, I watched your small meme vids years ago and have never left and you just keep getting better. Good Luck on 1mil. You deserve it! <3
How far into space would someone have to go to jump out of their aircraft and not fall back down to the earth. What if someone miscalculated and accidently floated off into the nothingness of space.
I jumped off an ~8 foot jump off a swing witch is about 2.4 meters in actual measurement

Great video and all, but I'd really appreciate if you had shown hight in metric system too, most people don't speak feet or burgers per baseball stadium.
wouldn't this be considered the highest fall? I was expecting a video of someone jumping over a truck or something. And thanks to redbull advertising, all of the hype surrounding this event is still fresh in my mind. He was gonna set a record either way cause if he died, it would of probably been the most witnessed death on live tv, I'm sure some people would see that as an accomplishment.
I fell from about 9 feet, and I couldn’t move my arms and legs. I locked my knees and my back absorbed the force. I couldn’t move, but slowly, I was able to move my fingers, wrists, ankles, neck arm, legs, and then I was able to get up. I must’ve been in shock, and had a-lot of adrenaline, because I sure felt the pain later. and then this guy drops from 100,000 fucking feet, with a hand twice the size that it should be!
The British Pathe's youtube channel has beautiful and sad footage of Franz Reichelt’s Death Jump off the Eiffel Tower (1912) and Bird Man death jump (1963).
26:50 yo what the feck. I searched up how that was possible and basically, plot armor doesn't compare to her luck (if you exclude the lack of luck to be part of the crash to begin with)
32:00 Alan Eustace seems like the final form of the bored rich bastard who pays a sherpa to drag his ass up Everest. Good for him and all, but the eccentric weirdos who are obsessed with jumping make for far better protagonists.
I used to build cell and TV towers, The fear of heights is just not there. I am however scared of drowning. I get uncomfortable in the water, I can swim but I dont like it one bit. its stressfull.

Great video, but it was Alcock and Brown who made the first non-stop transatlantic flight, with a climactic crash landing in a bog in Ireland to finish their journey! Pretty wild story imo
I probably missed it, so please forgive me, but what is it that allows the individual to travel so fast, past terminal velocity, at the higher altitudes? Is it the lack of gravity? Then, when they get closer to earth, they get back down to the 124mph mark, or whatever it is? I always thought out in space, with less gravity, you "floated" more than gained speed. i know this may sound ignorant, but, I have absolutely no education in this field.
Mate i cant do anything with foot... If you do an Video like this which is watched by many different people over the world then Please use Meters too and not that weird measurements of an Drunk Man...
Two things always terrified me when growing up. Marine Corps bootcamp helped break both those fears. Swim qualification day I back paddled and doggie paddled myself through all the test. One of those test was jumping off a 30 foot high platform and swimming to the otherside of an olympic size pool. That was forcing myself past two fears. Then we had to learn how to rappel off a 10 story tower. That was terrifying but I did it with little hesitation. Amazing what you can force yourself to do when you have a drill instructor screaming at you.
My mans telling me about leafy and almost nuclear holocaust and high jumps and the spiral origin and dale earnhardt and spongebob, and now he wants me to have hair. True bro right here.
@Fazal khan more than one person can look stuff up dude i fucking hate this "YOU CANT COMMENT THIS BECAUSE I COMMENTED IT FIRST STOP TRYING TO STEAL MY INSIGNIFICANT INTERNET POINTS" mentality
@Untitled Name I'm sorry i looked his name up while I was watching the video comment likes don't fucking matter to me . I looked up the dudes name and didn't realize someone else commented the exact same thing
@The Lucid Letters But EmpLemon has been doing a diverse range of documentaries similar to this for about as long as summoning salt, and salt also only does speedrunning.
"if something goes wrong in a plane, you're just along for the ride"
mmmmmm depends on the kind of aircraft. Flying a Cessna or a Schempp Hirth is a great thing to do and if something goes wrong. it's cause you did something wrong
I’ve jumped almost 20ft and I was fine but I almost broke my knees a few times with a couple friends in elementary school lol we also would swing as high as we could and jumped off a bunch until the teachers stopped us after my friend got the wind knocked out of him a few time. The airtime was very fun though (and these swings were very high but skydiving looks cool
Lemon, I've been a subscriber on your channel from way before your original channel was deleted years ago. I like your new style. Stick with a history like this bub, this is where it's at.
I remember watching Felix Baumgartner's jump live on youtube when I was 7 and being amazed. After that me and my brothers built lego models of the capsule and we were so inspired.

... And what a surprise to learn that Baümgartner's record jump was beaten!
There's a few airmen in WW2 that fell from over 15,000 feet without a parachute and survived. One survived falling onto a snow covered mountain. Another fell and crashed through a factory glass ceiling!
Fall speed from 100km would be insane. Mach 5 or more I guess?

That was funny when you said they could see the curve of the Earth...because, no they couldn't. The horizon is always a straight line that goes all the way around you...it never curves. None of these people saw any curve from any of these elevations.
How far did Vladimir Komarov fall? Is a failed flight and burning up In the atmosphere as you fall back down still considered a jump? Would he have had to contract his legs a lil bit for it to be called a jump? Would fall be a more accurate term? Does becoming the human equivalent of a burnt chicken nugget upon impact with the earth hinder its legitimacy as a jump?
Wondering who "Stapp" is in that Kittinger quote about the sky being like an ocean of cyanide? Colonel John Paul Stapp is best known for strapping himself to a rocket sled, then having the bottom of it run into a pool of water, decelerating him at up to 46g - the highest ever voluntarily experienced by a human. His work led to massively improved crash safety measures, in particular the harnesses and seat belts we use today. He also worked on project ManHigh with Kittinger.
. I was pretty durable when I was a youth (which probably explains why all my friends would unanimously choose me when they wanted someone to preform one of the many hair-brained, dangerous, and stupid stunts they would dream up). I managed to not only survive a number of voluntary 'falls' from heights of 10'-15' but also one that was about 30'-40' when I fell out of a tree while trying to get a boomerang my friend's little brother got stuck up there (the friend was a girl and of course my male teenage arse was just showing off), the branches broke just as I got the boomerang and down I went. Landed on my back and got right back up...not a scratch. Even went back to the football game we were playing. God protects children, the brave and fools...can't really say which I was that day. ...of course all that punishment could have something to do with all the problems with pain and other ailments I'm experiencing now that I'm 52. Oh well....it was a fun and exciting life, and you only get to do it once. 😉
I had an idea while watching this I want to take a Blue Origin New Shepard rocket above the Karman Line, and jump at apogee I wonder how fast I'd fall, and how long it'd take
Is nobody going to correct what Emp said about boilng? It isn't heat, it's the pressure. It is releasing oxygen and bubbling, but not from heat, and certainly not 100 degrees celsius.
Falling into water is never as bad as taking into concrete, even at terminal velocity. You'll still die, but water is the difference between your body being in one piece and exploding on impact.
I don't like that you used metric alongside imperial for the first height and then just never mentioned meters again. Found myself constantly converting feet to meters in my head which sucks in a video about heights...
Random fun fact: A man supposedly survived the fall from Sydney’s Harbour Bridge during its construction by releasing his tool belt to break the surface tension
We will next find a larger planet so the atmosphere will in turn be larger thus we will have a higher jump with as little risk as possible. So let’s just wait 1000 years
“people shouldn’t be afraid of flying on planes because you are 100x more likely to die in a car crash than a plane crash.” Yeah..... because i drive in a car every day and only fly in planes on occasion.
it’s weird how you didn’t Mention arabs because they are one of the first if not the first people who tried flying from high Heights and almost every country tried flying except arabs
13:06 Charles Lindbergh didn't make the FIRST Trans-Atlantic flight. He was, however, the first person to cross the Atlantic without a co-pilot. Trans-Atlantic flights had been happening since 1919 (see Alcock & Brown) but those flights always had 2 or more pilots onboard.
I mean I'm glad he's got a sponsor, but who does Keeps think watches his videos? Maybe early onset Male Pattern Baldness is a bigger problem than I though.
Ha. Thats really funny. The record itself is just an expression of the importance of the mission or scientific accomplishment. Its only ego that turns it into something else.
Can’t fall more than 10-12 feet without injuries? That’s not at all true. Watch thousands of parkour videos and you’ll see it happen thousands of times, with or without rolling out of it. And, no, falling 100 feet into water is not equivalent to hitting concrete. So much wrong with this video and it’s barely even started.
1:35 "There is something so ABSOLUTE about it's outcome" shows clip of Palpatine being thrown down the Death Star shaft, despite the fact that Palpatine returned in Rise of Skywalker Also, only a Sith deals in absolutes.
I remember watching the jump live, and it just wasn't that impressive. it didn't require any new tech or research. it was just a matter of funding, like the video states. its kind of a fluke that the record stood for so long. the same goes for building a habitat on the moon. we are long, long past developing the tech for living on earth's moon; its just a matter of funding. We could have been living on the moon as early as the 70's. by the time someone spends the first night on the moon, it really won't be that impressive and we will probably already have set foot on mars and returned more than once.

I've watched the first 10 minutes and it strikes me as such a pity that you don't include metric measurements for the heights achieved. Having to divide by 3 all the time while watching your video has an negative impact on the immersion in the brilliant story you tell. You really should at least add metric figures visually to help those outside the US.
@Blaze404 the stuka (ju-87) is the only plane that makes that sound when it dives because the Germans put sirens on it to scare the enemy before it bombs them
@Blaze404 no offence intended but is English your first language? music is something that is played on instruments like a guitar or someone singing. I think you mean "sound"
After some calculations and simulations i did in java i found out that the maximum height a human can survive from is 210-220km.
At this height you will hit the atmosphere with a max g-force of 8.7-9.1g's. I am not an expert when it comes to g'forces so if anyone knows if people can survive over 9g's for ~10sec in freefall let me know :)
for anyone who wants to do the same here are my constants: Cd = 1 (Drag coefficient) A = 0.53 (Frontal Area) m = 70kg (mass human) M = 5.972e24 (mass earth) G = 6.673e-11 (Gravitational constant) dt = 0.1 (every frame is 100ms)
formulas: p = 1.2 * 0.88^h (h is height in km) r = 6.371e6 + h * 1000 Fd = 0.5 * p * v^2 * Cd * A Fz = G * M * m / (r*r) Fr = Fd - Fz
a = Fr / m v = v + a * dt
h = h + v / 1000f * dt (/1000 because the height is in km)
t = t + dt
put this all in a while loop and draw it to a picture and you have some nice graphs https://www.desmos.com/calculator/qa58hynuml edit: in the example with the link i started with a height of 400km which is the height of the ISS as a reverence This height will give you a few seconds of 10+g's with a max of 17g's
30:11 Wow, I didn't know that he is Joe Kittinger! I remember watching Felix' Jump on TV and my mother telling me that the older guy set the previous record and also told me the story about his suit loosing pressure. Insane!
I was surprised but pleased to see such an activity had such secretive traction over the millennia. On a much less grandiose note, I was running Minecraft throughout the entirety of the time the video was playing, making your examples all the more surprising. Further on that point, both feather falling and an elytra failing almost killed the character. Truthfully, though, nothing can compare to the feats of those like Kittinger, even space travel itself!
It needs to be said that diving is how you survive falls into water at "hard as concrete" heights. The highest dive ever is almost 200 meters, twice what you mentioned.
Man, I really feel like I want to beat this, even though I don't know the first thing about skydiving, yet still... I got time so hopefully one day aei
So, Joe Kittinger gave his blessing for an undisclosed amount of cash from Red Bull, but didn't give "his blessing" to the person who wanted to do the record as a person, and not as a commercial entity looking for publicity and marketing that won't fade away since it's associated with a record breaker..
Baumgartner was in free fall for 4 minutes and 19 seconds, 17 seconds short of mentor Joseph Kittinger 's 1960 jump. He did not break the free fall record.
As someone who gets nauseous when she stands on top of a 3 story building and looks over the edge this seems so insane to me but at the same time so impressive. And that last guy, like who wakes up one day and says "you know what i'd like to try out? Setting a new jump record. That Baumgartner chap made it look so easy." Srsly, some people have more money than sense, istg.
What a fascinating topic, so well researched and presented. About 25 years ago I wrote a science fiction short story about the leisure activity of jumping from a space station resort and becoming a human meteor. I've never published anything, never was even interested in trying. The Baumgartner jump was still nearly two decades into the future, but the Kittinger jump gripped my imagination. So this video hit the sweet spot squarely in the bullseye.
we just had 2 people get knocked off the bridge on the i-90 pile up in billings montana they fell 60 (others say 100 iirc) feet..... broken pelvis, legs, arms..... punctured lung... but it seems both are gonna recover . even at 60 feet.... wow
1:35 I see what you did there...choosing to pair "something so absolute" with that clip from Return of the Jedi...the Emperor fell but apparently due to lazy writing the Force in Episode 9, his demise was NOT absolute.....but wait....only Siths deal in absolutes....and the movie was called RETURN of the JEDI ...sooo....the Emperor is a Jedi?
*Please recognize John Glen was not our first man into space. Alan Shepard was the first American, followed by my friend Gus Grissom. (Who in my opinion is almost forgotten in History.) With John Glen a much safer third. *Because of the potential traumatic experience of Alan's flight, Gus had a brand new feature installed on his Mercury capsule. It was an explosive opened escape hatch to prevent the Astronaut from drowning in the capsule in case of high seas. The same feature that malfunctioned and caused the loss of the capsule and almost Gus as well. * This steely eyed fighter pilot, test pilot, Astronaut, Engineer was hung with the shame of somehow panicking and blowing the hatch, losing his ship. He died with this shadow over his head. 38 years later Liberty Bell 7 was found, raised and brought home. One of the guys on the expedition looked into the soggy capsule and saw the switch had not been activated by Gus. He was overjoyed and called Betty Grissom (Gus's widow), He told her, " Good news, Gus didn't activate the switch." She replied, "I know, Gus told me."
I feel like theres a height that, no matter how steep the drop jumping would be perceived as less dangerous simply because the very thing that invokes the fear (the ground) is so far away. Would you be afraid of a lion that’s 10 miles away?
You don't count the land diving of Pentecost Island in Vanuatu? An ancient ritual in which young men jump from tall wooden platforms with vines tied to their ankles as a test of their courage and passage into manhood. Feels like this would fit into your timeline.
about 7 meters is the furthers I have fallen. it was my choice to ride my snowboard over the edge of a cliff face and 7 meters down did i land in the soft powdery snow
Landing on water from 100 feet is NOTHING like landing on concrete from 100 feet. Get your facts right. Cliff divers jump REGULARLY from that height without any injuries. So please, spare us the crap and research what you're about to tell.
Abbas Ibn Firnas was an islamic physicist and engineer that tried to fly using a structure with vulture feathers in the 9th century around 875 , and his attempt resulted in the longest flytime in his epoque which was approx. 10 minutes starting his trip from the top of Cordóba's great Mosque (Spain) comming out alive of that with only back injury
I remember I was in a mall while Felix jumped and all the screens were showing his jump, and I’m the only one didn’t give f because I was like 8 And until now I don’t give f
EDIT: The only thing I learned watching this video was that EmpLemon is a Gran Turismo fan...a car game...because EmpLemon is presumably afraid of heights.
How can it be called basophobia? A phobia is a irrational fear of something. There is NOTHING irrational about the fear of falling - it can cause light injuries at best, death at worst, and that's why most people won't go over what they feel is safe. Nonsense term for a pure survival instinct, really.
A phobia is an extreme or irrational fear of something. So it doesn't have to be necessarily irrational Most common phobias could be a "term for a pure survival instinct" according to your logic.
@Luxai A phobia is an EXTREME (or irrational) fear of something. So the extreme fear of falling / heights it's rightfully called basophobia. How is it that hard to understand this simple definition?
@Omega Computing How is is hard for YOU to understand that extreme means outside what's considered normal? Base self preservation is perfectly normal. There is nothing extreme or irrational about being afraid of falling, since it's about not dying. Phobia would be the fear of HEIGHTS, not falling. Bottomline, phobia does not fit into self preservation.
@Luxai No it's not the extreme which means outside what's considered normal because that is basically tautologic to "irrational" and you wont find something like that in a definiton. In the definition of phobia "extreme" means something along the lines of "the highest degree". If you're extremely scared of something, that doesn't mean that you're outside of what's considered normal in any way shape or form.
A fall doesn't have to be lethal or cause injuries, some people are already extremely scared if they have to jump off a chair or something similar. That's basophobia ! Arachnophobia for example is extreme fear of Spiders. So just because some spiders can kill you or cause minor to major injury it can't be called phobia cuz it's just a self preservation instinct? And your "logic" would fit many, many more phobias which are in the category of "extreme but not necessarily irrational fear of something" like Astraphobia, Entomophobia and Cynophobia.
@Omega Computing So basophobia is not the fear of falling out of a rational dread of death, but the fear of falling regardless of if it's safe or not. See, that is an irrational fear of something, ergo a phobia. Saying it is "the fear of falling" is misleading since everyone is afraid of falling due to the consequences. "The irrational fear of falling" would have been a better term, I think.
In addition, this video is not using the term very well, since it is a video about the highest jumps in known history, therefore using the term makes it seem like the narrator saying is that if you are afraid of falling to your death then you have basophobia, which I maintain is not the case. In summary, basophobia is the fear of falling, period, not of falling to your death or to injury. I am not afraid of falling, I simply don't want to die or get hurt.
@Luxai The "irrational fear of falling" is still the FEAR OF FALLLING. Every phobia is an extreme or irrational fear so that fact is a given. If you talk about cars you don't have to say that they drive. Everyone already knows.
And nobody ever said that "basophobia is the fear of falling out of a rational dread of death"! You just interpreted a whole goddamn conspiracy in this word cuz you overthought the video creators intentions.
@Luxai In addition, even if you're scared of falling to your certain death it's still basophobia. The same way you're Arachnophobic if you're scared of a deadly spider biting you. A phobia can just be an extreme fear of something afterall. It covers both extremes, if you fall off the lowest stair or a 1000ft cliff doesn't matter.
@Omega Computing Look, I'm not gonna circle argument this. I'm not afraid of falling, I just don't want to die or get hurt. See why basophobia cannot be applied to most people? It's not falling that it the problem, it's what comes after. And not wanting to die is self preservation. Not wanting to fall at all is the fear, the phobia.
@Luxai I'm not afraid of spiders, but i don't want to die from a tarantula bite. stupid logic period.
If you're not fearing a deadly fall, you're not basophobic. It's as simple as that. Most people though fear the fall AND the impact. So falling definetly is the problem! Like i said, a phobia covers both extremes. If you fall to your death or not doesn't matter. As long as you fear it you have a phobia
@Omega Computing Stupid logic? You're the one who defined basophobia as the fear of falling! Not fear of injury, or death. Falling is one thing, dying and getting hurt is another. And your opening statement is not stupid at all. Most people are not afraid of spiders, just the pain and or death they can result in. Also, no, fearing something is not phobia, and we've established this already - a phobia is an irrational or extreme fear of something. If it was just fear and not extreme fear then words like extreme and irrational would be superfluous, yet they are used in every definition. You keep pedaling back and forth. Just admit it already - basophobia is the fear of falling. not of death or injury. And, again, is it really a phobia if it's a matter of self preservation? Again - nothing lies outside the realm of nationality and normalcy about not wanting to die.
@Luxai Basophobia IS the fear of falling, there's nothing wrong about that statement.
The pain that spiders might induce is one of the reasons why people fear spiders. More people fear things that might lead to pain (like spiders or falling for that matter) than the pain itself. More people suffer from Arachnophobia than
Algophobia (fear of pain) or Thanatophobia (fear of death). Fear itself is a mechanism of our body from ancient times to minimalize potential risks to our health because there were no doctors around when we still lived in caves. We ran away from wild animals, not from death himself.
"basophobia is the fear of falling" - never said anything else
"not of death or injury" - that's what i said
"And, again, is it really a phobia if it's a matter of self preservation?" - Yes it is a fucking phobia because there are people out there who are extremely scared of falling. Doesn't matter if the resaon behind it is self preservation or not. If you extremely fear something you have a phobia. There are other people who are not feared of that particular thing so they don't have a phobia. Is it that hard to understand?
But lets go back to the beginning: 1. You said that a phobia is a irrational fear of something which is partly correct. 2. I said that you forgot about the part in the definition that says: "or extreme" 3. we landed here cuz you didn't get the meaning of "extreme" in this context and now we discuss the same shit over and over
@Omega Computing We once again arrive at what you don't seem to grasp - fear =/= extreme fear or irrational fear. There are levels to everything. Fearing pain and death is normal because they often lead from one to the other. That is normal survival instinct. It is not extreme or irrational fear. A phobia of pain would mean you fear any pain regardless of if it was dangerous or not. A phobia of death would mean you fear anything that has even the slightest chance of killing you. That is irrational and extreme fear. You keep trying to glue your argument together by using them for the same things, but they are not.
@Luxai Man, it just looks like you're not able to grasp the term "phobia". Perfect example is what you just wrote:
"A phobia of death would mean you fear anything that has even the slightest chance of killing you." - that wouldn't be a phobia of death, because you don't fear death but the thing that tries to kill you. Thanatophobia means that you're extremely feared of the dying process even if it's only caused by old age for example.
Fearing pain and death is not normal because they are natural reactions of our bodies to cope with certain things. How can you fear death / pain if it's unavoidable and normal so to say? But if you get anxious about it you have a phobia. Our survival instincts fear the things that induce pain / death. Not death / pain itself. Are you more in fear when running from a wild animal or when you're laying wounded in a hospital bed?
@Omega Computing I am perfectly aware of what a phobia is. And since it is an irrational fear, it makes no sense why you would try to rationalize it. YOU don't seem to grasp that fear and extreme fear just ain't the same thing. Same emotions, different levels, and that matters. Repeat it until you are blue in the face. Basophobia is not fear of death by falling. It is fear of falling. A seasoned parajumper for instance is not afraid of falling since he knows he has a parachute. Not if the parachute was to come off during the jump, THEN he would panic. That would not be thantophobia. It would be same same rational fear of dying everybody with a concept of death would feel if they think they are going to die. And rational is not what phobias are.
@Luxai I never said that Basophobia is the fear of death by falling. I do grasp that there is a certain line between fear and extreme fear. I even wrote that if you let your fear spiral out of control and you get anxious the fear turns into a phobia. Quote me and don't talk out of your ass.
You on the other hand wrote: "A phobia of death would mean you fear anything that has even the slightest chance of killing you." And that condradicts the whole statement you just made. Thantophobia is not the fear of getting killed, it's the fear of the dying process. So is "basophobia not the fear of death by falling. It is the fear of falling" like you just wrote
@Omega Computing First of all, being rude doesn't do anything for your case, and second, thanatophobia is the fear of dying, yes. And you die either naturally or because something, or someone killed you. If you are killed you die. Hence, if you fear death, you fear being killed as much as dying naturally. Falling does not have to result in death. Being killed must. Not sure why you are even using it for comparison sake in the first place. Regardless, if you agree that basophobia is the fear of falling, and not of dying from falling, then we have nothing to argue.
@Luxai Calling someone rude after telling them "repeat it until you're blue in the face" is quite a bold claim.
I never said that falling results in death and neither did compare falling with dying. I was comparing the statements, not the actions. Man your reading comprehension really sucks.
We argued about you not defining phobia correctly because you said that the "extreme" in the defintion was meant in a social way which just isn't the case. Then i corrected you and you just completely went past my point and told me that i said certain things i never did over and over again. In the end you used the official defintion of phobia in the right context, thank god. Glad that you got it right in your later comments, but i don't have the time anymore to discuss with someone who can't even quote nor read and understand what's written at a primary school level
@Omega Computing And I have no further interest in debating with someone who makes it personal because he can't express himself clearly. Resorting to ad hominem is the mark of a bad debater. Try and express yourself clearer next time, for your own sake as much as others.
@Luxai You're resorting to an ad hominem argument right now: "Resorting to ad hominem is the mark of a bad debater". You're missing a quote there if you want to corroborate your argument. And it's not ad hominem if it's actually a true fact ;)
I never made it personal btw, there you go again! lol The mark of a bad written discussion is if you're not able to quote or if you're not acknowledging the points made by your vis-a-vis.
Man, you're a lost cause. Try to stick to the point and don't make false & nonsensical claims about what your interlocutor said.
@Omega Computing I thought you were done? Yet you come back for more, even though it turns out there really wasn't anything to argue about but pure semantics and interpretations of words. I doubt you have the ability to back down at this point. Allow me to show you. Have your precious last word. Or don't, show you can be mature.

Use the metric system. Omg Americans the whole fucking world uses metric cuz it’s perfect and America don’t use it just to be different like the kid who wore shorts when it was cold.
OMG, that is amazing what Alan did. He wasn't into jumping and just decided to do it and did so without a bucket to be in going up? That must of been amazing for some and terrifying paralyzing traumatizing to most. That's the most amazing and fishy story I've ever heard. Did you use his picture? His job there's way more to that story how unusual. It has to be looked into.
First I'd like to thank Keeps for sponsoring this video. https://keeps.com/emplemon
4527 likesI've also included a list of references/links in the description if you'd like to learn more about this topic. I must admit that there will certainly be record-holders I have missed. I tried my best, but information before 1950 is quite spotty and hard to find. There could easily be documentation of other record-holders tucked away in an obscure newspaper or book, and maybe in time we will find them.
For now, this is the only comprehensive list of the world's highest jump. Prior to making this video I could not find one that covered before Joe Kittinger. Hope you guys enjoy!
Edit:
I apologize to my metric viewers for using imperial units, but two-thirds of my audience is from the US, and I felt that including the conversions for so many numbers would make everything a visual mess.
For this one you'll have to bare with me and divide by 3.

0 likesAs a heads up you missed quite a bit of earlier jump cases by not including tethered jumping (i.e Bungee Jumping) present in numerous Indigenous cultures. "Land Diving" for instance was an ancient ritual practiced by Pentecost Islanders in Vanuatu where people dived off structures 100ft high, and intentionally hit the softened ground; or the dancing Papantla flyers of the Indigenous cultures in Pre-Columbian Mexico.

Same here. I was sure the endpoint of the vid is the Baumgarthers jump. Damn, I hardly recalled about Alan while reading your comment, meaning, just half an hour after watching the vid. I haven't had enough sleep though.
72 likesYep totally. I suppose the novelty of breaking the record that had held for fifty years was interesting and newsworthy, but only two years later even though setting a new record it's also "just another guy jumping from near space like that other dude just did" kind of way.

19 likesLeave it to red bull to commercialize something they funded. Go figure.
58 likesI'm now thinking the same
0 likes@kelly hill I mean that's literally the point of their sponsorship. They wanted people to see it, so since this was a big deal for the jumping community anyway, they heavily marketed it on top of it's natural interest and so lots saw it and heard of it. Alan didn't have a company trying to promote viewership of his jump, and like an above comment mentions, second guy to jump from near space, bit slightly higher than the last guy, isn't as big of a deal as first guy to ever jump from near space.

0 likes@JellySword Yeah he pronounces shit wrong all the time too. "undoubtably" isn't a word, but he uses it, "kittinger" is pronounced wrong and he says it in literally every other sentence for about 5 minutes straight... The problem is that youtubers don't bother doing any proofreading or research past googling shit. They also can't be bothered looking up how to pronounce words they don't know how to pronounce. And pronouncing words properly is a pretty major part of being a narrator.
1 likeA good example of why you shouldn't really trust anything you see on youtube. Youtube is still part of the internet.
@Bong Jovi Idk what you're saying about "undoubtedly" not being a word. It seems that multiple dictionaries seem show it as one and the fact that you spelled it wrong doesn't help much either.
9 likesPersonally, I find that pronunciation tends to be something subjective in most cases; Its purpose is to simply allow people to both know the meaning of a word. Just look at the debates people had over how "gif" should be pronounced.
It seems like you're implying that because his grammar and speech were wrong it invalidates the facts that he researched, which it doesn't. To me, you kind of just sound like someone in a bad mood who wanted to find things wrong with the video but that's ok; it happens to all of us.
@JellySword I meant he says "undoubtably" which isn't a word. It should be "undoubtedly"
1 likeAnd "gif" is a totally different case. It didn't have an established pronunciation.
Sorry, but you can't claim someone knows what they're talking about if they don't even know how to speak their first and only language. Pronouncing things differently and pronouncing them wrong are two totally different things.
Guess I hit a little close to home, huh? Not everyone can have an average IQ, sorry you got the short end of the stick but that's not my fault.
@Bong Jovi I'm not sure where he says it in the video so correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the two words ("undoubtably" and "undoubtedly") pronounced the same anyway?
5 likes@JellySword No, they're not. Otherwise I wouldn't have noticed he said "undoubtably".
0 likes@Bong Jovi Yeah sorry I just noticed that one has a b at the end while the other has a d. At first, I only noticed the a and the e. I can see how this could be a pet peeve and I'm sure that now that I'm aware of it, I won't be able to stop noticing it. For me, my grammar annoyance is when people don't know how to use semicolons.

2 likesAs an avid skydiver I think you did a great job capturing the thrill an wonder of being up where you're not supposed to be. While the highest jump I've done is only 30.1k feet, even at that height you start to get a sense of how small you are. I wonder when someone will try a wingsuit space jump to get the record for longest distance traveled in a skydive.

Absolutely fantastic video. As a licensed skydiver halo jumps start getting strangely boring and anxious as you keep glancing over at your altimeter wondering when it’s time to pitch, especially jumping solo. I can’t imagine the instincts you would have to fight falling for nearly 5 minutes, eyes locked on your altimeter and every part of your skydiver brain screaming at you to pitch 3 minutes ago.
4 likes9:58 this intrigued me. What would have happened if he didnt deflate the balloon in time? 2 unconscious bodies floating upward to their death? Would the balloon fail and they fall back to earth before dying? Or, would 2 dead bodies just float in space forever? Or, would 2 dead bodies plummet to earth?

0 likesI love that you made references to summoningsalt using a variation on the formula he codified, without straight up ripping off the format for some clickbaity topic. And, hell, you even subverted the formula with a bait and switch straight off the bat with that iconic music ending abruptly for a subtle gag. It communicates to me that you have admiration and respect for his work that other creators i've seen don't seem to show.
10 likesWell... Probably. I think so, at least. Right? All I know for sure is that this is one of the few videos taking on the Summoning Salt formula which i didn't just click away from within five minutes, but watched to the end with no regrets or feelings of, for lack of a better term, cringe. That speaks for something, i feel.

0 likesAbout 17,500 above sea level was my highest jump- it was supposed to be 15,500 but we had booming lift on the second jump run. I was seeing specks in my vision and they only went away when I did some g-strain -like pressure breathing. If you take a deep breath and and then bear down, you can add about 1.5 psi of pressure in your lungs and the specks go away.

It works like that in almost all ways of live.
Everybody knows Edison, but in contrast only few ever heard the name Tesla (before Musk named his car after him).
On a side note: It's about the highest free fall.
Purely physically speaking, every astronaut in orbit is in free fall - but because of the high speed they don't fall down to earth (or so slow that it's no relevant).
@Wolfgang Kranek Felix still has the freefall record - Eustace used a drogue. Much safer, but not a freefall record. In that regard, Kittinger also used a drogue for Excelsior, but setting a record wasn't Kittinger's intention. He was a test pilot. The actual freefall altitude record was set by Soviet Air Force Captain Yevgeny Andreyev in the 1960s. THAT was the record that counts, and it was held by him until the Federation Autonautique Internationale (FAI - the aviation record governing body) certified Felix's jump in 2012. Eustace technically set a manned altitude record for a balloon flight but it doesn't actually count as an official aviation record as certified by the FAI because their rules stipulate that for an altitude record to be valid, the applicant must both take off AND LAND with the vehicle in which they set the record. Eustace didn't do that either. Actually, none of them have, except for Nick Piantanida because due to a malfunction, he had to abort his record attempt and land with his gondola. As far as I know, Nick Piantanida's record altitude for a manned balloon flight still stands. Someone kindly correct me if I'm misinformed.

0 likesA back of the hand calculation suggests that the heights jump plausible would be to jump from a space elevator at about 80,000,000 ft as that is the approximate distance at which the angular momentum is enough that you might be in orbit before you fall all the way to earth. Of course, this assumes you can survive re-entry in a way that doesn't technically count as a "rocket" to still qualify as the highest jump(considering you did not count orbital launches as "jumps")

The lowest I ever jumped was 885 feet on the Skyjump abseil off the Stratosphere Tower in Vegas. That was the closest I ever got to a base jump, it's cheating since there's no canopy to deploy, but 18 seconds top to bottom is still a pretty good rush.

Could one possibly do the jump from a Geostationary orbit? As in, an orbit where the orbit synks with the rotation of the earth. That way you minimize that vector at least.
0 likesOr would that height be so great that the speed picked up by the accelleration would negate the savings from not moving forwards so to speak?
Maybe one could fire off a gondola from the space station in the opposite direction to reduce the speed over the ground to close to zero before jumping off it?
hm... experiments are needed methinks!
I still remember Felix's jump like it was yesterday. I had a regatta the same day with my rowing team when a teammate took out his phone and showed everyone the livestream. As a middle school kid, I wasn't really able to grasp how ambitious the jump was at the time. I ended being far more impressed with the fact that I was in a tent along a river with seemingly no internet access and was witnessing an event happening live thousands of feet up on the other side of the country. Crazy to think we've come as far as we have today where almost anyone can stream live from virtually anywhere and even make a living off of it.

Due to the timing and speed with which he did it, Eustace looks like a rich executive who decided he wanted something to lord over everyone and space jumps happened to be the in thing at the time.

0 likesThere was actually another person who held the record for the highest jump for a while. Between 1630-1632, Hezarfen Ahmed Çelebi from the Ottoman Empire jumped off of the galata tower in Istanbul and flew across the Bosporus. The tower was 219.5 feet (66.9 m) high at the time, which would be a record for its time

I believe that at that time the record would've been Eilmer of Malmesbury who jumped off of a roughly 400 foot tower in 1010 and survived. Though the story has been mythologized quite a bit over the years, so the 400 foot number could be wrong

1 likei mean, highest jump or highest fall
0 likesalso bro, wonderful video. i love this shit. hope you’re having a good time. highest jump is a special video to me, came out at just the right time.
I was one of the babies who didn't mind. Ever since I was born I felt attracked to jumping from tall things, I would go to waterfalls with my parents and surprise every one there by jumping from 20 feet onto the water, I was about 8-10 the first few times I did that. A bit later on one day I shocked two of my cousins by jumping out of the bell tower of my local church from about 15 feet or so into a stone floor. But then at around 14, what people had always told me started getting in my head and I began hearing their voices when I was about to jump "owh you're gonna get hurt" etc etc and it became much harder, suddenly I felt a substantially bit of fear and now every summer I make sure I go to some waterfall and jump from somewhere higher. I still love the thrill of jumping, it's such a pure feeling, just you and nature, a huge rush and splash, you're in the water.
0 likesPs: to be fair last summer I hurt my self twice and now I have a few scars on my back, but owh well. Tbf they just happened cuz I dove vertically head first, which I try not to do as much nowadays

0 likesIf you're willing to stretch the definition of 'pressure suit' a bit, there may lie a bigger record to be set; a jump from orbit. There once existed project MOOSE, standing for 'Man Out Of Space Easiest'. It was an experimental look at how to prevent an astronaut from being stranded in orbit. It would have consisted of a large solid rocket motor, a large polyester bag, canisters filled with expanding foam, and a parachute. The solid rocket motor would be used by the astronaut to de-orbit themselves, and then the bag (which the astronaut would be inside of) would be filled with the expanding foam to form a crude heatshield. After reentry, the astronaut would deploy the parachute, and what was left of the charred foam would cushion the impact. 'Easiest' quickly becomes the operative word when looking at the design, but simultaneously becomes almost sarcastic when it comes to the fear that would come with using such a system.

Wow, a comment without a reply from “Duzty”
1 likeGod damn it, I was so emotionally invested in the whole Felix arc: after 50 years of failed attempts, broken dreams and daredevils on the edge of glory, the record still stood, high and mighty. The skies had proven to be an unbearable trial of courage for most jumpers. But not all of them. There was still one, the one with a fearless heart and determined spirit. A man of sheer fucking will. And not only that, but he was standing on the shoulders of the great Joe Kittinger himself. He had passed his wisdom to Felix and it was now time to shatter the frontier that had broken so many before him. Each test, each attempt was one step closer to the ultimate goal.
530 likesThen, the time had come. Felix was in position, standing on the edge of the world, admiring what he had worked so hard for. The stakes where high, and, with the hopes and dreams of mankind weighing down on his shoulders, he took the leap. People would then be subjected to the longest five minutes in existance, silently witnessing as the man came thundering down from the heavens above, uncertain of what the next moments would bring.
But he did it. Felix had written history. At last, after half a century of heartbreak and sorrow, he had he obliterated the record that had chained humanity for so long. He was a hero. And Kittinger, after finally passing the mantle to a new generation, he could finally rest...
And then like the most random of dudes, a computer scientist that didn't even have skydiving experience, the god damn Gary Stu of skydivers just swoops down and yoinks the record on his first try. Like... what??

@EndLaiser it’s not a parody not even close, and a tribute is not a parody either. a parody has to involve imitation of which there is none in this video. unless you’re referring to something else in this video?
1 like@Wilhelm VG It literally uses the same music, fonts, and storytelling style as Summoning Salt
5 likesEdit: It even uses the same style of title and thumbnail. If that's not parody or tribute, I don't know what is.
@EndLaiser Parodies cannot be in a mocking manner, since it would then become satire. However, parodies need to have some aspect that's inherently over exaggerated or hyperbolic in nature. Think Megamind, OPM, etc. Satire is essentially the same but made to criticize the media it satirizes.
2 likesThe only part of this video that can even be remotely considered hyperbolic or a "parody" is the third title card. However even that doesn't count as parody since the distortion implies satire as a way to communicate that Emp felt SS uses too many cards.

0 likesTo me, it is not the fear of falling, but rather the fear of hitting the ground. Falling won't cause any immediate harm to your body and is actually often very relaxing. The astronauts in orbit are technically falling back to Earth all the time, but their horizontal velocity is so great that they don't lose altitude relative to the Earth's surface. So technically some people have been in a constant fall for over a year. That is actually what creates the sensation of zero gravity.
1 likeOne of the few channels where I'll occasionally rewatch a video just because.
0 likesIt goes beyond control. If a car stops working you are safe on the ground, so long there isn't a wall in front of you. If a plane stops working you will hit the ground like a wall, unless a professional can land it back into the ground.

100 feet into water is quite survivable without much internal or external damage. At around 200 feet lethality is settled into water. There are many recorded jumps and dives from over 120 feet where the diver comes away with little to no injury. It is also a matter of technique, landing on your belly from 100 feet is likely death. Many trained professionals routinely jump from these heights without sustaining injury.

Orbital skydiving should be possible. It is a fascinating idea. I used to have a video game that started with skydiving from orbit. There just needs to be invented a safe way to bleed off velocity enough to prevent overheating. Maybe a very long Nomex streamer would do the trick. Or maybe some form of asbestos streamer. Or maybe a spherical capsule enclosing the diver made of a silica aerogel that sheilds from heat and reduces average density to that of a falling leaf or feather. The tile material from the space shuttle may also be a basis for a capsule, molded to fit the diver's body exactly to form a human sabot of sorts.

>63,000 ft (19,000 m) = The Armstrong Line, where Near Space begins and the point in which humans can not survive without a pressurized suit as the atmospheric pressure is low enough and the boiling point of water is low enough that the boiling point of water is the same as or lower than the normal human body temperature of (98.6 °F (37 °C, 310.15 K)), thus causing ebullism.

Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.

0 likesThe death zone is only temporarily survivable with oxygen. Elite athletes have a few survivable days with O2. The pressure is so low you can't absorb enough oxygen even with pure O2. Its not a term used in flight. Above 42,000' hypoxia will set in for pilots without pressurization. At that altitude they have several minutes to a couple hours before acute hypoxia sets in. Above 50,000' the pressure is so low that the boiling point of water falls below body temperature causing a much more urgent need to lower altitude or restore pressurization.
0 likesThere are many factors at play here that cause different considerations for flight vs mountaineering. Climbers go through a 1-4 week long acclimation porcess to increase their tolerance to high elevation conditions. Pilots have less tolerance because they can't go through the acclimation process like climbers. Pilots on the other hand don't spend very much time at altitude unpressurized so they can go higher. The amount time you are exposed to low pressure conditions is very important.
well done!

0 likesNot to nitpick but your fear of planes having no control if something goes wrong is just as true for cars as it is planes. If your wheel pops off or you fuck up a turn and fly off a cliff wtf can you do to. your just as much along for the ride as your are if a plane suddenly loses a wing. On top of that planes have so many safety features in case of something goes wrong its insane. Even if say both engines fail a pane can glide for over 50 miles. You are just as much in ctonrol of your destiny in most vehicles you get it.That kinda the point of vehicles in the first place. A helicopter is honestly the most unsafe if your really talking about falling. If a propeller goes down then yea you are just along for the ride.

He was the first to cross the Atlantic solo (and in a single-engine plane too). That's still mighty impressive if you consider that only recently were two-engined commercial passenger flights OK'd to cross the Atlantic (previously it was 3+ only).
16 likes@PongoXBongo Yeah it was like-bait. Honestly I didn't know he was the first solo. Thanks for the fact.
2 likesCharles Lindbergh was a great dude. In 1925 he was the key Pilot in the attempt to rescue the trapped caver Floyd Collins. The stuff in this video in 1926. 1927 in a CONTINUOUS NON STOP SOLO FLIGHT (which he was the first to do) across the atlantic, and also because he got a song after him. Lucky Lindy. And for all that success? He got his fucking infant son stolen and killed. The Lindbergh Baby.

0 likesYeah but your first point already contradicted yourself kinda. I mean so you still feel more scared when riding in a car when you’re NOT the driver? You have no control then. Let’s say back seat passenger side so you don’t really even have the option to grab the steering wheel. I’m willing to bet you feel much safer there still then on a plane. The real reason is because while statistically yes you’re more likely to die in a car crash than be in a plane crash, you’re also almost 100% likely to die in a plane crash if you’re ever in one. Vs a car crash that can happen at much lower speeds. It’s also less random. Usually with a car crash it’s due to you or someone else operating the vehicle inappropriately for the situation. Driving too fast for the conditions causing loss of control (whether it be due to someone in front of you suddenly changing lanes or because you’re going too fast around a turn or because it’s raining and you lose traction), or driving intoxicated, or not paying attention. Something like that. It’s much more rare that an accident will happen that will result in your death at almost a 100% chance if something just goes wrong with your car, like the engine blows up or something, or you pop a tire. Whereas with a plane, while sure there’s human error that has caused plenty of plane crashes, the majority of them happen from something failing. Whether it be totally accidental, caused by poor maintenance, or even caused by human error in terms of say flying into a storm and choking out the engines with water. The point being that even if caused by human error, if something like that goes wrong in the air, you can’t just immediately come to stop on the side of the road safely and get a tow. No, you’re restricted to either having a pilot who is good enough to land the plane in an emergency landing, which happens but also requires enough things to still be ok with the plane and the right circumstances based on location, or you completely lose control and you’re 100% crashing which is essentially a death sentence. It’s not the probability of it happening that worries people, it’s that if it DOES happen, there’s then a VERY high chance they’re going to die now. Whereas in a car there’s a much higher chance they’ll survive or even just have injuries than die.

0 likesI hate when people use statistically speaking you are more likely to die in a car crash than a plane crash. There are several factors that create a huge gap to where those two can't be compared. Cars have limited space, way more cars move about throughout any given day than planes, other cars close proximity, and potential drivers not paying attention (traffic signals, road signs, slightly drifting out of designated lane etc...). Only thing a plane has to worry about is mechanical failure, because once something stops working on a plane things could get real bad real quick and to prevent this regular inspections are carried out before flying.

0 likesAnyone here who has skydived and bungee jump will tell you the same thing; bungee jumping is waaaaaay scarier. Above a few hundred feet the body loses its internal response to heights. So when you stand in the fuselage of that Cessna and they open the door, it's just surreal
0 likesFor me anyway, I've never felt fear in a parachute, it always opens before the fear threshold. I hope my luck remains that way as well ;)
But bungee jumping, your body KNOWS and it says LOUDLY 'ah hell no!'. Not that that stopped me the few times I've done it but it wasn't fun until after the first bounce - in the air, not off the ground.

0 likeslanding in water at 100+ feet is NOT the same as landing on concrete. This is a myth that for some reason gets spread around I guess because it sounds interesting. But while landing in water at large hights can certainly be dangerous, particularly due to having the air knocked out of you or going falling unconscious upon impact and then subsequently drowning, the physical impact to your body and organs is MUCH MUCH less severe than falling at the equivalent hight onto actual concrete. Furthermore, when it comes to falling in water there are various methods in which you can further mitigate the physical impact, such as landing feet first with your arms braced across your chest, while there are no such similar mitigation techniques when it comes to landing on actual concrete - no matter your position or posture you're in big trouble. Mythbusters also has a segment on this where a surgeon takes xrays of pigs that have fallen from identical heights on both concrete and water and the injuries sustained, while major in both cases, are at least survivable in the case of landing in water.

0 likesIt depends. Humans can survive any fall. It’s just really rare that someone survives it. There was a woman who fell out of an airplane without a parachute and survived. And when you’re falling you reach a point where you don’t go any faster. So even if she fell from even higher up it would still be the same. It all depends on the way you fall, where you land, how you land and more. If you go into a ball then you will probably die since you would fall at max speed. (I think max speed is about 60 mph). If you stretch out then you will fall slower. And if you dive then you will die.
0 likesThe best way to survive is to spread out like a starfish and then when you’re about to land on the ground land on your feet and make sure your head doesn’t hit the ground too hard or at all, make it so your lega take all the impact snd try to roll.

0 likesThis just proves that EmpLemon and Summoning Salt are the same person. First they both use the same music being the song "We're Finally Landing" By the band HOME. Now guess, what, he is using the same font as him for the intro along with the same music being "Resonance" by HOME. Now you might say "this is just a satirical parody as is usual with EmpLemon" and to that I say that you don't have any evidence to back you up. Another common feature with EmpLemon his is common use of Nintendo game music, and guess what, most of Summoning Salt's videos are on Nintendo games. Not enough for you? Well, Summoning Salt's origins are really unknown except for the fact that he used to speedrun a game called Punch Out for the Nintendo Entertainment System and he doesn't have his face out in the open. Therefore, his identity is not fully known and therefore is out in the open. Another thing is that both of their current styles of youtube today started in 2017, marking a significant change content-wise at the same time for both channels. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

One time, I jumped off the top row of bleachers in the gymnasium, and I can still remember the impact, reverberating up through my body. My fascination with jumping off stuff was pretty much extinguished after that. Although, I did jump off of a 15-20 foot cliff , I would estimate, in 1000 islands after my bleacher stunt. That impact was also very memorable, as the water felt an awful lot like concrete. Also, I remember that undertaker vs mick Foley match. I was watching with my dad, it was crazy af.

0 likesI think that saying that the reason we feel safer in a car versus a plane being control is a little flawed. Sure that plays into it but, if that were the sole reason youd expect people to be afraid of taxis, busses, or trains just as mush as they are of planes, but they are not. I believe the main reason people disproportionally fear planes over any other form of transport; regardless of it being one of the safest forms of transport, is the unfamiliarity of the environment. When you are in a plane youre in a strange and unfamiliar place. Most people who fear flying are not doing it very often. Not only is the plane itself unfamiliar but, your view out the window is too. This fear of the unknown and unfamiliar only compounds when you add factors like clouds or darkness. It also does not help that when there is a plane crash its usually big news, specially very fatal ones.

0 likesHitting water at high speed will injure you because of its density and viscosity, not because of its surface tension.
0 likeswouldn't this be considered the highest fall? I was expecting a video of someone jumping over a truck or something. And thanks to redbull advertising, all of the hype surrounding this event is still fresh in my mind. He was gonna set a record either way cause if he died, it would of probably been the most witnessed death on live tv, I'm sure some people would see that as an accomplishment.

I couldn’t move, but slowly, I was able to move my fingers, wrists, ankles, neck arm, legs, and then I was able to get up. I must’ve been in shock, and had a-lot of adrenaline, because I sure felt the pain later. and then this guy drops from 100,000 fucking feet, with a hand twice the size that it should be!

I always thought out in space, with less gravity, you "floated" more than gained speed. i know this may sound ignorant, but, I have absolutely no education in this field.

. I was pretty durable when I was a youth (which probably explains why all my friends would unanimously choose me when they wanted someone to preform one of the many hair-brained, dangerous, and stupid stunts they would dream up). I managed to not only survive a number of voluntary 'falls' from heights of 10'-15' but also one that was about 30'-40' when I fell out of a tree while trying to get a boomerang my friend's little brother got stuck up there (the friend was a girl and of course my male teenage arse was just showing off), the branches broke just as I got the boomerang and down I went.

We could have been living on the moon as early as the 70's. by the time someone spends the first night on the moon, it really won't be that impressive and we will probably already have set foot on mars and returned more than once.

Having to divide by 3 all the time while watching your video has an negative impact on the immersion in the brilliant story you tell.

0 likesAfter some calculations and simulations i did in java i found out that the maximum height a human can survive from is 210-220km.
1 likeAt this height you will hit the atmosphere with a max g-force of 8.7-9.1g's.
I am not an expert when it comes to g'forces so if anyone knows if people can survive over 9g's for ~10sec in freefall let me know :)
for anyone who wants to do the same here are my constants:
Cd = 1 (Drag coefficient)
A = 0.53 (Frontal Area)
m = 70kg (mass human)
M = 5.972e24 (mass earth)
G = 6.673e-11 (Gravitational constant)
dt = 0.1 (every frame is 100ms)
formulas:
p = 1.2 * 0.88^h (h is height in km)
r = 6.371e6 + h * 1000
Fd = 0.5 * p * v^2 * Cd * A
Fz = G * M * m / (r*r)
Fr = Fd - Fz
a = Fr / m
v = v + a * dt
h = h + v / 1000f * dt (/1000 because the height is in km)
t = t + dt
put this all in a while loop and draw it to a picture and you have some nice graphs
https://www.desmos.com/calculator/qa58hynuml
edit:
in the example with the link i started with a height of 400km which is the height of the ISS as a reverence
This height will give you a few seconds of 10+g's with a max of 17g's

0 likes*Because of the potential traumatic experience of Alan's flight, Gus had a brand new feature installed on his Mercury capsule. It was an explosive opened escape hatch to prevent the Astronaut from drowning in the capsule in case of high seas. The same feature that malfunctioned and caused the loss of the capsule and almost Gus as well.
* This steely eyed fighter pilot, test pilot, Astronaut, Engineer was hung with the shame of somehow panicking and blowing the hatch, losing his ship. He died with this shadow over his head. 38 years later Liberty Bell 7 was found, raised and brought home. One of the guys on the expedition looked into the soggy capsule and saw the switch had not been activated by Gus. He was overjoyed and called Betty Grissom (Gus's widow), He told her, " Good news, Gus didn't activate the switch." She replied, "I know, Gus told me."
Alan Eustace basically just decided that he wanted to beat the record and he did it in one try.

0 likesHow can it be called basophobia? A phobia is a irrational fear of something. There is NOTHING irrational about the fear of falling - it can cause light injuries at best, death at worst, and that's why most people won't go over what they feel is safe. Nonsense term for a pure survival instinct, really.

A phobia is an extreme or irrational fear of something. So it doesn't have to be necessarily irrational
0 likesMost common phobias could be a "term for a pure survival instinct" according to your logic.
@Omega Computing Literally HOW? What is irrational or extreme about not wanting to die? Zero checkmarks!
0 likes@Luxai A phobia is an EXTREME (or irrational) fear of something. So the extreme fear of falling / heights it's rightfully called basophobia. How is it that hard to understand this simple definition?
0 likes@Omega Computing How is is hard for YOU to understand that extreme means outside what's considered normal? Base self preservation is perfectly normal. There is nothing extreme or irrational about being afraid of falling, since it's about not dying.
0 likesPhobia would be the fear of HEIGHTS, not falling.
Bottomline, phobia does not fit into self preservation.
@Luxai No it's not the extreme which means outside what's considered normal because that is basically tautologic to "irrational" and you wont find something like that in a definiton.
0 likesIn the definition of phobia "extreme" means something along the lines of "the highest degree". If you're extremely scared of something, that doesn't mean that you're outside of what's considered normal in any way shape or form.
A fall doesn't have to be lethal or cause injuries, some people are already extremely scared if they have to jump off a chair or something similar. That's basophobia !
Arachnophobia for example is extreme fear of Spiders. So just because some spiders can kill you or cause minor to major injury it can't be called phobia cuz it's just a self preservation instinct? And your "logic" would fit many, many more phobias which are in the category of "extreme but not necessarily irrational fear of something" like Astraphobia, Entomophobia and Cynophobia.
@Omega Computing So basophobia is not the fear of falling out of a rational dread of death, but the fear of falling regardless of if it's safe or not. See, that is an irrational fear of something, ergo a phobia. Saying it is "the fear of falling" is misleading since everyone is afraid of falling due to the consequences. "The irrational fear of falling" would have been a better term, I think.
0 likesIn addition, this video is not using the term very well, since it is a video about the highest jumps in known history, therefore using the term makes it seem like the narrator saying is that if you are afraid of falling to your death then you have basophobia, which I maintain is not the case. In summary, basophobia is the fear of falling, period, not of falling to your death or to injury.
I am not afraid of falling, I simply don't want to die or get hurt.
@Luxai The "irrational fear of falling" is still the FEAR OF FALLLING. Every phobia is an extreme or irrational fear so that fact is a given. If you talk about cars you don't have to say that they drive. Everyone already knows.
0 likesAnd nobody ever said that "basophobia is the fear of falling out of a rational dread of death"! You just interpreted a whole goddamn conspiracy in this word cuz you overthought the video creators intentions.
@Luxai In addition, even if you're scared of falling to your certain death it's still basophobia. The same way you're Arachnophobic if you're scared of a deadly spider biting you. A phobia can just be an extreme fear of something afterall. It covers both extremes, if you fall off the lowest stair or a 1000ft cliff doesn't matter.
0 likes@Omega Computing Look, I'm not gonna circle argument this. I'm not afraid of falling, I just don't want to die or get hurt.
0 likesSee why basophobia cannot be applied to most people? It's not falling that it the problem, it's what comes after.
And not wanting to die is self preservation. Not wanting to fall at all is the fear, the phobia.
@Luxai I'm not afraid of spiders, but i don't want to die from a tarantula bite. stupid logic period.
0 likesIf you're not fearing a deadly fall, you're not basophobic. It's as simple as that.
Most people though fear the fall AND the impact. So falling definetly is the problem! Like i said, a phobia covers both extremes. If you fall to your death or not doesn't matter. As long as you fear it you have a phobia
@Omega Computing Stupid logic? You're the one who defined basophobia as the fear of falling! Not fear of injury, or death. Falling is one thing, dying and getting hurt is another. And your opening statement is not stupid at all. Most people are not afraid of spiders, just the pain and or death they can result in. Also, no, fearing something is not phobia, and we've established this already - a phobia is an irrational or extreme fear of something. If it was just fear and not extreme fear then words like extreme and irrational would be superfluous, yet they are used in every definition. You keep pedaling back and forth. Just admit it already - basophobia is the fear of falling. not of death or injury. And, again, is it really a phobia if it's a matter of self preservation? Again - nothing lies outside the realm of nationality and normalcy about not wanting to die.
0 likes@Luxai Basophobia IS the fear of falling, there's nothing wrong about that statement.
0 likesThe pain that spiders might induce is one of the reasons why people fear spiders. More people fear things that might lead to pain (like spiders or falling for that matter) than the pain itself. More people suffer from Arachnophobia than Algophobia (fear of pain) or Thanatophobia (fear of death).
Fear itself is a mechanism of our body from ancient times to minimalize potential risks to our health because there were no doctors around when we still lived in caves. We ran away from wild animals, not from death himself.
"basophobia is the fear of falling"
- never said anything else
"not of death or injury"
- that's what i said
"And, again, is it really a phobia if it's a matter of self preservation?"
- Yes it is a fucking phobia because there are people out there who are extremely scared of falling. Doesn't matter if the resaon behind it is self preservation or not. If you extremely fear something you have a phobia. There are other people who are not feared of that particular thing so they don't have a phobia. Is it that hard to understand?
But lets go back to the beginning:
1. You said that a phobia is a irrational fear of something which is partly correct.
2. I said that you forgot about the part in the definition that says: "or extreme"
3. we landed here cuz you didn't get the meaning of "extreme" in this context and now we discuss the same shit over and over
@Omega Computing We once again arrive at what you don't seem to grasp - fear =/= extreme fear or irrational fear. There are levels to everything. Fearing pain and death is normal because they often lead from one to the other. That is normal survival instinct. It is not extreme or irrational fear. A phobia of pain would mean you fear any pain regardless of if it was dangerous or not. A phobia of death would mean you fear anything that has even the slightest chance of killing you. That is irrational and extreme fear. You keep trying to glue your argument together by using them for the same things, but they are not.
0 likes@Luxai Man, it just looks like you're not able to grasp the term "phobia". Perfect example is what you just wrote:
0 likes"A phobia of death would mean you fear anything that has even the slightest chance of killing you."
- that wouldn't be a phobia of death, because you don't fear death but the thing that tries to kill you. Thanatophobia means that you're extremely feared of the dying process even if it's only caused by old age for example.
Fearing pain and death is not normal because they are natural reactions of our bodies to cope with certain things. How can you fear death / pain if it's unavoidable and normal so to say? But if you get anxious about it you have a phobia.
Our survival instincts fear the things that induce pain / death. Not death / pain itself. Are you more in fear when running from a wild animal or when you're laying wounded in a hospital bed?
@Omega Computing I am perfectly aware of what a phobia is. And since it is an irrational fear, it makes no sense why you would try to rationalize it. YOU don't seem to grasp that fear and extreme fear just ain't the same thing. Same emotions, different levels, and that matters. Repeat it until you are blue in the face. Basophobia is not fear of death by falling. It is fear of falling.
0 likesA seasoned parajumper for instance is not afraid of falling since he knows he has a parachute. Not if the parachute was to come off during the jump, THEN he would panic. That would not be thantophobia. It would be same same rational fear of dying everybody with a concept of death would feel if they think they are going to die. And rational is not what phobias are.
@Luxai I never said that Basophobia is the fear of death by falling. I do grasp that there is a certain line between fear and extreme fear. I even wrote that if you let your fear spiral out of control and you get anxious the fear turns into a phobia. Quote me and don't talk out of your ass.
0 likesYou on the other hand wrote: "A phobia of death would mean you fear anything that has even the slightest chance of killing you."
And that condradicts the whole statement you just made. Thantophobia is not the fear of getting killed, it's the fear of the dying process. So is "basophobia not the fear of death by falling. It is the fear of falling" like you just wrote
@Omega Computing First of all, being rude doesn't do anything for your case, and second, thanatophobia is the fear of dying, yes. And you die either naturally or because something, or someone killed you. If you are killed you die. Hence, if you fear death, you fear being killed as much as dying naturally. Falling does not have to result in death. Being killed must. Not sure why you are even using it for comparison sake in the first place. Regardless, if you agree that basophobia is the fear of falling, and not of dying from falling, then we have nothing to argue.
0 likes@Luxai Calling someone rude after telling them "repeat it until you're blue in the face" is quite a bold claim.
0 likesI never said that falling results in death and neither did compare falling with dying. I was comparing the statements, not the actions.
Man your reading comprehension really sucks.
We argued about you not defining phobia correctly because you said that the "extreme" in the defintion was meant in a social way which just isn't the case. Then i corrected you and you just completely went past my point and told me that i said certain things i never did over and over again. In the end you used the official defintion of phobia in the right context, thank god.
Glad that you got it right in your later comments, but i don't have the time anymore to discuss with someone who can't even quote nor read and understand what's written at a primary school level
@Omega Computing And I have no further interest in debating with someone who makes it personal because he can't express himself clearly. Resorting to ad hominem is the mark of a bad debater.
0 likesTry and express yourself clearer next time, for your own sake as much as others.
@Luxai You're resorting to an ad hominem argument right now: "Resorting to ad hominem is the mark of a bad debater". You're missing a quote there if you want to corroborate your argument. And it's not ad hominem if it's actually a true fact ;)
0 likesI never made it personal btw, there you go again! lol
The mark of a bad written discussion is if you're not able to quote or if you're not acknowledging the points made by your vis-a-vis.
Man, you're a lost cause. Try to stick to the point and don't make false & nonsensical claims about what your interlocutor said.
@Omega Computing I thought you were done? Yet you come back for more, even though it turns out there really wasn't anything to argue about but pure semantics and interpretations of words. I doubt you have the ability to back down at this point. Allow me to show you. Have your precious last word. Or don't, show you can be mature.
