Nick Piantanida was an American parachutist known for his attempts to break the world record for a stratospheric jump set by Joseph Kittinger in 1960. In 1965 and 1966, he made three balloon flight attempts, the first two resulting in disappointment due to technical malfunctions. His most ambitious attempt in February 1966 reached a height of 37,643 meters but he was unable to detach his oxygen supply. A subsequent attempt in May 1966 led to him losing consciousness and ultimately falling into a coma from which he did not recover. He died in August 1966.
