Felix Baumgartner’s widow shared the last moments of her late husband’s final skydive on social media after his death on Thursday. The Austrian skydiver, known for taking on thrilling challenges like jumping from the Earth’s stratosphere into New Mexico in 2012, lost consciousness and died during a paragliding accident. His grieving wife, Mihaela Radulescu, posted the final dive as a tribute on X. “I was filming him taking off not knowing that this will be his last flight of his extraordinary life,” said the caption. “Felix Baumgartner is going home now, up there, where he was the happiest ever.” The minute-long video shows the daredevil starting the engines of his paraglide before taking off into the sky. “Thank you all for your support and for keeping his unique legacy high up. This man was truly special, in so many ways, and I’ll make sure I’ll keep telling his story. But now…., I have to deal with the shock, the pain, the sunrises where I get to make just one coffee, not two…” the post said. Investigations are still underway as to what exactly caused the accident. Baumgartner was 56 years old.
