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，超胆侠Baumgartner在巴西救世主耶稣雕像上完成了一次号称“世界最低”低空跳伞，起跳高度仅仅距离地面29米（95英尺）。据他回忆，当他站在雕像边缘时，脑子里不断闪过在里约热内卢生活的片段。起跳高度更高的低空跳伞无疑会获得更多的自由落体时间和人们的关注喝彩，但起跳点低才是更危险的，因为降落伞打开的时间被大大缩短了。
