I'm wondering if it's possible to parachute from an altitude of 30,000 feet. I'm curious about the feasibility and safety of such an extreme parachute jump.

At 30,000 feet, you will be approximately 7 miles above the Earth's surface.

This height is comparable to the standard cruising altitude of a commercial airline.

This means that a 30,000-foot skydive is significantly higher than the average jump, which is nearly 2 miles up.
