On October 14, Felix Baumgartner dove from 24 miles above earth, landing safely in New Mexico, setting records for highest altitude parachute jump and greatest free fallvelocity in history.
As for the recent period, the extremely high growth is probably appropriate, and not inflationary, while credit markets remain frozen and velocity continues to fall.
Compound or open fractures are typically high-energy type injuries which generally occur when an individual is involved in a high velocity car accident or fall- or when a landing is awkward with twisting or torsional type forces.
