Felix Baumgartner has jumped from more than 39km to secure the world records for the highest successful parachute jump and the fastest human free-fall. Baumgartner made the ascent in a helium-filled balloon, before jumping off and free-falling for 4:20.

Baumgartner says he plans to settle down with his girlfriend and fly helicopters for mountain rescue and firefighters.
