Felix Baumgartner, who once broke the world record for the highest skydive by jumping from the edge of space, has died in a motorised paragliding accident in Italy. The 56-year-old fell to the ground near the swimming pool of a hotel while flying over the village of Porto Sant'Elpidio in the eastern Marche region. Porto Sant'Elpidio's Mayor Massimiliano Ciarpella said reports suggested he may have suffered a sudden medical issue mid-air. The Austrian daredevil made headlines in 2012 when he broke the world record - and the sound barrier - for the highest-ever skydive, jumping from a balloon more than 39km (128,000 ft) up in the stratosphere.
曾从太空边缘跳伞打破世界纪录的菲利克斯·鲍姆加特纳在意大利动力滑翔伞事故中丧生。这位56岁的奥地利人在马尔凯大区圣埃尔皮迪奥港村上空飞行时,坠落在酒店游泳池附近。当地市长马西米利亚诺·恰尔佩拉称,有报告显示他可能在空中突发健康问题。这位冒险家在2012年从39公里(12.8万英尺)高的平流层气球跳下,突破音障创下跳伞纪录而轰动全球。
**Baumgartner was described as"a symbol of courage and passion for extreme flights" by Ciarpella, who offered the town's condolences for his death. Fans have left their own tributes beneath one of the skydiver's final social media posts, a video of him working on the motor of his paraglider. Another post from around 14:30 local time (13:30 BST) bore the text"too much wind" and featured a picture of a full windsock against a cloudy sky. The extreme sportsman was known as"Fearless Felix" for his adventurous stunts.**
恰尔佩拉市长称鲍姆加特纳是"勇气与极限飞行热情的象征",并代表全镇致哀。粉丝们在这位跳伞运动员最后一条社交媒体动态——检修滑翔伞发动机的视频下留言悼念。当天14:30左右(英国时间13:30)的另一条帖子写着"风太大",配图是阴云下鼓满的风向袋。这位以冒险特技闻名的极限运动员被称为"无畏菲利克斯"。

He set one of his earliest records in 1999 for the world's lowest base jump, from the 30m (98ft) high hand of Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer statue. In the same year, he set the world record for the highest parachute jump from a building, when he launched himself from the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. Then, in 2003, he completed a flight across the English Channel wearing a specially made jumpsuit with carbon-fibre wings. But the extreme sportsman was best known for his space leap. Speaking at a news conference after his record-breaking jump, he said:"When I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble." He added:"You don't think about breaking records anymore, you don't think about gaining scientific data - the only thing that you want is to come back alive."
他早在1999年就从里约热内卢30米(98英尺)高的基督像手指跳下,创下世界最低基地跳伞纪录。同年又从马来西亚吉隆坡双子塔跳下,创下建筑物最高跳伞纪录。2003年,他穿着特制碳纤维翼飞行服成功飞越英吉利海峡。但这位极限运动员最著名的还是太空跳跃。破纪录跳伞后的新闻发布会上他说:"站在世界之巅时,你会变得无比谦卑","不再想着破纪录或获取科学数据——唯一想要的活着回来"。
