First I'd like to thank Keeps for sponsoring this video. keeps.com/emplemon
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.

Joseph Kittinger died this morning on December 9th, 2022. He is a legend who will not be forgotten. May he rest in peace.
Rest in Peace Joe Kittinger
Damn Rest in peace seemed like a genuinely good dude glad he got lots of recognition.

I don't understand how longer and longer jumps has anything with speedrun. But OK.
"The jump from outer space was the highest one yet. Until Matt Turk entered the competition."
Jospeh Kittinger has passed away. Rest in peace to one of the greatest aeronautical legends ever.

To go Higher.
If you pause at 17:32 of his video when he starts to spin you can see a fist horizon behind him
Rest in peace Joe. Truly a revolutionary man in space jumping. His record length will probably never be broken too
What about his record girth?
@@literallyshaking8019 The best gems are under view more replies.
This dude’s had a record record for as long as most people in the comment section have lived
For anyone wondering, Joe Kittinger is still alive. He's 92.
hopefully he gets to 100 :D but srsly he has teh legacy of jumping from 100k ft so yeh
He's a beast

Joe mama
He survived the unbelievable getting shot down and jumping over 100,000 ft
Jumping was invented by Tsung Jump in 9040 b.c. when he tried to take a step with both feet at the same time

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.
Immediately came to this video after I heard of Joe Kittinger's passing, his career was truly remarkable. Rest in peace Kittinger, you may be gone, but you will not be forgotten.

Coomer Moment
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.
Its so horrifying because you know he couldnt do anything about it. Hes just at nature's mercy. In a second he's just gone.
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.
@@ldblokland463
Oh no he ain't gone in a second, just unable to communicate
As you're exposed to low pressure, all your bodily fluids expand and want to get out of any crevice possible, mouth, ass eyes, ears, nose. you feel your saliva boiling on your tongue seconds before your lungs deflate and your innards get slowly pulled through your mouth. The blood rushing around your system and burning you from the inside will eventually make you pass out, but not soon enough to save you from at least 10 seconds of unnatural agony

Joe Kittinger's life story is so fucking intense, the dude was basically a real life main character.
That's a great way of looking at it. I've not heard the expression before but Joe the Protagonist/Main Character Joe seems about right!
19:12 This moment had me smiling ear to ear, incredible storytelling EmpLemon, that reveal along with the beat drop is just too good!

Everyone else: *Uses the height of a building or a mountain to show how tall the jump is*

The Frizz's is better.
That and using the height of Minecraft blogs as a measure for fall damage makes this TV style documentary internet compatible

Whats even crazier, is that she made a full recovery from a broken spine. What a badass!
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.
Incredible story, her name is Vesna though.
A legend of jumping died today. RIP Joe Kittenger 1927-2022
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.
Despite the internet and instant news, I have to admit this is the first time I've heard of Alan Eustace.
Leave it to red bull to commercialize something they funded. Go figure.
I'm now thinking the same
This genuinely might be my favorite video of yours so far. Seemed like a lot of fun to make, and was engaging the whole way through. Brilliant.
Max Box woah, one of my favorite youtubers? Commenting on another one of my favorite UA-camrs videos? No way.
tf2man
Same.
Wait the UA-camr Ive been watching for years watches a youtuber that I’ve also been watching for years?
What do you think about the new community developed mann vs machine update?
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.
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?
I love how even sky-diving records aren't safe from Google's domination, just imagine if Disney decided to sponsor this...
Disney has so much fucking money it's insane. You can do a lot with that money.
I think you mean "hate"
I think people over estimate how much money Disney has they just buy a bunch of stuff
How much is their debt
Just checked, the debt is about 11 billion
so what your telling me is, that guy who died in his homemade rocket to try and see the shape of the horizon could have just used a hot air balloon?
Yes.
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.
he was showing his rocket off at cafe 247 in my home town. he was def faking the flat earth stuff
R.I.P Sir Kittenger😢❤ Forever a jumping Legend!!
Emp, I would just like to let you know that this video is one of my all-time favourite videos on all of UA-cam. I've rewatched this video so many times. Excellent job my man.
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.
he sees it
he wants it
he's got it
no bullshit lol
He isn't an astronaut.
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”.
I mean... if you're a google exec, then you have all the resources in the world to get this kind of project started
Feels bad man
This documentary made me feel all kinds of emotions - what a rollercoaster
It has its.. ups and downs.
the story of aviation is one of the most amazing stories in all of history, and it's still unfolding
@@randgrithr7387 ight
This freaking touched. Scared me to the core
God that smile on Kittenger's face when his record went - wow. Just such pure joy. That's what we all want. To feel happy. Just wonderful
Your editing is just amazing, this is definitely one of my favorite videos on UA-cam!
Joe Kittiner's words really say something, the fact he was risking his life to test how far can the human body endure through the lines of sky and space really says a lot and just testing the lines they can go to save human lives and not caring setting a world record speaks volumes to me.
Rest in peace Joe Kittner and may his words never be forgotten.

Who else legit still taught RedBull guy was still the record holder? Never heard of the google guy till now.
*Slowly raises hand*
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.

Me too!
I knew about him, but I forgot about it.
I’ve watched this video 4 times now. Every time I’m left in awe of the feats these people performed and your ability as a film maker and story teller. Thank you for sharing with us.
What a great video.
I love the retro touches you did.
And thanks for the history lesson, it was very well done. 👍👍
You have a new subscriber.
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.
Then the first thing the crew does is shake that hand when he lands.
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.

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.

@@possiblettegegg7519 Much like how it took forever for someone to reach the peak of Mt. Everest, and now tourists do it on holiday.
Screw the rules, I have money.
Cute Keeps commercial. Takes me back to the golden days of TV. Thanks 🙏🏼 for the Jump video also.
I recall reading about the Eustace Jump. At first, he thought he was just floating and would never reach Earth. This was due to the air being so thin that there was no sensation of drag. He was terrified. He also experienced a horrific incident of uncontrolled spin, brief but still terrifying. What a ride! I'm so glad he survived this intact. I can't cite my sources, but they are still out there.
00:00 : "ok, the subject is not so cool but it's EmpLemon so give it a try".
35:00 : "GOD DON'T STOP I WANT MORE"'
EmpLemon makes any topic interesting
me
@@skyrozx Exactly, i liked his ytps but honestly i ADORE his documentaries, i am very happy with the direction he took with his channel
@ 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.

2010: "A new UA-cam Poop by EmperorLemon"
2020: 35-minute essay about the fear of jumping
My boy has grown up.
hes just a normie now reading wikipedia outloud
That's really cool man, thanks for sharing. Your comment was so relatable and necessary.
It's not about the fear but yea
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.
@@gasaiyuno6021 >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.
Love this video, watched it more than once, please make more
This has been showing up in my recommended for a good 6 months probably. Glad I finally watched
“What a lame idea for a video.”
Six minutes later
“Okay. I’m hooked.”
EmpLemon has that effect no?
Imagine thinking an emp lemon video is gonna be boring.
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
I guess you can say you were skyhooked
normie trash
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.
You missed (imo) the best one, Count Dankula's "Mad Lads" series.
*Whang
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.
Summoning salt and star_ too
@@MultiverseMediaSpace 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
Just watched this for the 4th time. All of Emp's stuff is just that good. Thanks for the hours of entertainment.
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
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.
That guy is a absoloute madlad
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.
he probably did it because he thought it would be funny too
@@Username-1939t9 lol ikr imagine smashing the half a century long record for some random dude to just come along 2 yrs later and be like "mine now"
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
Joe Kittinger's smile warmed my heart. Bless this man's soul.
LMAO 3:46 in the corner, Also this is him when he started vs now lol
And bless his parachute
@@Duzty stop spamming
Yes he is quite gigachad
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.
1:57 - That subtle change from No Depth Perception to No Death Perception, very cheeky
I'm loving these documentaries Emp, keep up the great work!
im not I miss the UA-cam poops and memes
@@oklol3461 I do too but I think Emp should do what makes him happy. If a creator is happy with their work then we are all better off for it
Same I love these types of videos
@@randomman8353 u right
Well made from a yt person
I never thought I would ever hear the word "airplane piracy" in my life, and for some odd reason, it's cool hearing that
@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
You can't download a car, but you can download a plane.
@Sr Asshole lmao Nakeyjakey reference.🤣🤣🤣
Something something Crimson Skies
“Airplane Piracy” sounds like a gta vip mission
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.
Falls from height are no joke WHATSOEVER!
A few years back I was building a tree fort in our back yard for the children. As I ascended the ladder to make some final adjustments, I heard my wife call out to me that supper was nearly ready.
I looked over and realized I could hop off the ladder of the tree fort and land on the patio next to me. This turned out to be a critical mistake. I missed the patio and came crashing through the small work bench I had set up at the base of the ladder below me. The last thing I remember before I blacked out was my wife screaming hysterically about how this same exact thing happened in nineteen ninety eight when The Undertaker threw Mankind off hell in a cell and he plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer's table.
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?
The balloon would have eventually burst and they would have fallen back down, dead.
If you pass out from oxygen loss, you have minutes, if that, to get back to oxygen. They would die before the balloon burst, then plummet back down
“Highest you’ve ever jumped?”
255 blocks but I mlg water bucketed so I’m good
Did u plank the whole way down?
255? Pft
Fly up until your elytra breaks mate.
“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.
"...Ironic."
He didn't survive but his DNA did, allowing the Sith on Exagaul to clone him
@@LARAUJO_0 that's stupid, because he blew up when he hit the bottom, and he should have been vaporized by the Death Star being destroyed .
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.
@@VinVonVoom well, Disney decided to spit on George and his vision.
OMG, that intro, I did not expect that Resonance to come in, very nice. I'm gonna watch this just for the music
Great Video, love Home and clips of the F4 Phantom
"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.
Never made a military jump and only jumped a round canopy once, but as a sport jumper did 30k from the Mullins King Air (WFFC 2005)
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:
ua-cam.com/video/QC2DB6QIqME/v-deo.html
And btw this is me knowingly the lowest skydive, which is ballsy in its own way considering the gear:
ua-cam.com/video/LUbvsXGyrD0/v-deo.html
@@JohanMood 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.
"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
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.”
The first 12 seconds were too well done, the clip and music combination got me invested fast.
I remember I was really pissed when Emp Lemon stoped making YTPs, gotta say it was probably the best decision he could've made
