Whos famous for skydiving

Answer 1

As of June 2012, that record goes to Christian Labhartwho did an average of 327 Mph over a vertical measured kilomter. Christian takes part in the discipline of Speed Skydiving and to go fast, one must adopt a head down slick aerodynamic body position. It takes great skill to hold a still position like this, so that the speed can be built up.

To put things in perspective, the normal terminal velocity freefall in a belly to earth body position is around 120mph.

Answer 2
