48 year old Russian BASE jumper Valery Rozov leaped off Mount Everest earlier this month from an elevation of 23,687 feet. It is the highest Base jump to date.

On May 5 at 2:30 PM local time in -1 degrees °F weather, Rozov leapt into the extremely thin air reaching speeds of 124 miles per hour before hitting the Rongbuk glacier at an elevation of 19,521 feet. Check out the two videos below:





Rozov has logged over 10,000 Base jumps, but of course, he's not the only guy with a record. Felix Baumgartner is the guy we saw jump from space and he holds the record for lowest Base jump and highest Base jump from a building. Not that we're comparing.
