Record Flight: Mike Küng performs a Head Over at 7,117m

On 21st January 2020, Mike Küng leaped into the world record books again, with a 7,117m Head Over jump from a hot air balloon over Achensee, with a Phi Allegro.  The record is for the highest Head Over jump, and it was done without any supplementary oxygen (with “no problems“). Head-Over jumps from a balloon basically involve somersaulting head-first out of the basket with the glider already open.
