Standing atop Brazil's iconic Christ the Redeemer statue in January 1999, stuntman "Fearless Felix" Baumgartner braced himself for what was to be the world's lowest BASE jump at 29 metres (95 feet). When he stepped off the edge, split seconds would extend as Rio de Janeiro opened up before his eyes. Those who make jumps that fall into the highest category may win more plaudits as well as freefall time, but it's the lower jumps that are more dangerous because there is so little time for the parachute to open.
99年1月，超膽俠Baumgartner在巴西救世主耶穌雕像上完成了一次號稱“世界最低”低空跳傘，起跳高度僅僅距離地面29米（95英尺）。據他回憶，當他站在雕像邊緣時，腦子里不斷閃過在里約熱內盧生活的片段。起跳高度更高的低空跳傘無疑會獲得更多的自由落體時間和人們的關注喝彩，但起跳點低才是更危險的，因為降落傘打開的時間被大大縮短了。
