Former Navy SEAL Andy Stumpf broke the altitude record by jumping out of a plane while wearing a wingsuit. We're not talking about a regular wingsuit flight here, where the plane climbs to 13,000 feet so the person can free fall for two minutes before touching down on Earth. 
Stumpf broke the distance record of 17.8 kilometers, which required him to climb almost three times higher than the height of a typical jump. The troposphere is really cold, and of course the use of oxygen is essential for survival.
The Navy veteran dived from 36,000 feet to raise money for the United States Navy SEAL Foundation, which provides support services to members of the Navy SEAL community.
Stumpf spent nearly half his life in a SEAL uniform, and after retiring from active duty, he jumped from the lower troposphere with an oxygen mask to marry his passion for skydiving with his commitment to serving a community that he says has served him so well for so long.
According to Wired, Stumpf is no ordinary adrenaline junkie. He's a skydiver, base jumper, parachuting instructor, and wingsuit enthusiast. But before all that, he served in the Navy SEALs for 18 years.
It should be noted that his parents had to sign an application with their consent for him to enlist in the United States Navy at the age of 17.
