RIP Felix Baumgartner
56 Jahre jung
Österreichischer Extremsportler; er war der erste Mensch, der den Ärmelkanal ohne motorisierte Hilfe in der Luft überquerte. Er wurde durch mehrere waghalsige Stunts bekannt - etwa dem Stratosphären-Sprung 2012https://t.co/4jJd6TG6kl pic.twitter.com/U1s99hpE7j— Judith Grohmann🇦🇹🇪🇺🇮🇱🎗️ (@EmmaPeel_Knight) July 17, 2025
According to Italian sources, Baumgartner lost control of his paraglider around 4 PM, after reportedly feeling unwell while in the air. The aircraft crashed directly into the hotel pool.
Baumgartner gained worldwide fame in 2012 when he performed the legendary jump from the stratosphere from an altitude of 39 kilometers, which was watched live by several million people worldwide.
In recent years, he lived in the Swiss city of Arbon, in the canton of Thurgau.
