The tragedy happened yesterday, July 17, in Porto-Sant Elipidio on the Adriatic coast in the Marke region, Italy.
The fire service, which was summoned to the scene, confirmed that Baumgartner probably lost control of the motor paraglide when he suddenly became bad. The athlete fell into the hotel pool and, according to rescue units, died on the spot.
The Baumgartner Paraplan crashed into a wooden structure near the pool. Carabiners, firefighters and Red Cross of Porto-Elipidio immediately arrived at the scene.
During the fall, he touched a hotel employee who was taken to a hospital with neck injuries. It was injured by a fragment that flew during the impact of the vehicle. She was given first aid at the scene and then taken to the hospital.
It is worth noting that at the time of Baumgartner’s fall, many people, including children, were near the pool. According to rescuers, the tragedy could be much more serious.
Felix Baumgartner became world -famous in October 2012, making a jump from the stratosphere from a height of 39 kilometers. He became the first parachutist to break up during the free fall to 862 km/h, that is, to the speed of sound.
The International Federation (FAI), which is responsible for registration of aviation records around the world, has recognized the three world records set during the jump. Baumgartner reached a maximum speed of 1.25 Mach, or exactly 1 357.6 km/h, the highest jump (38 969.40 meters) and the longest free fall (36 402.6 meters).
After that, Felix Baumgartner announced plans to leave professional sports for the sake of a new career of the pilot of the rescue helicopter.
We will remind that on July 16, also in Italy, a 19-year-old zlogoon was killed during the race.
Earlier, it became known about the death of the Bronze medalist of the Olympic Games, which was the victim of lightning.
