Another challenge Baumgartner, aimed at laying the highest parachute

Extreme disciplines Austrian Felix Baumgartner is making another attempt to perform parachute jumping higher, and also the fastest in history.

Strong winds last week forced Felix Baumgartnerin to cancel his efforts in the southwestern U.S. state New Mexico.

But meteorologists say the weather conditions suggest that he can be thrown out of the stratosphere balloons.

His goal is to cast out balloons at an altitude of 37 km above the earth.

If we succeed, Baumgartner 43 years, will be the first to challenge the speed of sound, or move faster than the speed of sound.

Baumgartner will wear a protective suit pressure.

Record jumps from a height is the vitti 1960, Air Force Colonel Joe kitting, which fell by 31 kilometers.
