40, 000m

:D

It was aborted due to wind. I don't know when he will attempt it again but it has been aborted several times over the last few years.

:D

Oh, sorry, maybe you mean when his parachute will open:_

I think at 5, 000m.

I think he will be in freefall for seven minutes and he will reach the speed of sound after the first 40 seconds...

:P :P :P :D
