Top speed 714 MPH by Colonel Joseph Kittinger in August 1960 (possibly soon to be surpassed). 'Normal' speed 120 MPH 'flat flying' and 334.75 MPH when 'speed skydiving'. Recently a guy in a 'wingsuit' landed on a pile of cardboard boxes without deploying a canopy and was probably falling at around 40MPH when he landed, having jumped from 2,500'
