Skullcandy Partners with Expert Skydiver Andy Stumpf in World Record Breaking Jump

Skullcandy, Inc.,

the original performance and lifestyle audio brand, announced today the successful completion of a World Record jump by expert skydiver and former United States Navy Lieutenant and SEAL Operator, Andy Stumpf. Stumpf exited a plane from over 36,000 feet in an attempt to exceed the current record of 17.83 miles absolute distance traveled in a wing suit, successfully accomplishing 18.257 miles and setting a new World Record. Prior to becoming an expert skydiver, Andy was told he may never walk again after a combat injury. He dedicated himself to a tough rehab regimen and recovered the ability to walk. Now retired, Stumpf is considered a world-class skydiver and skydive instructor. Andy Stumpf's "Man on a Mission" jump broke the World Record in order to raise awareness and funds for the Navy SEAL Foundation that supports the families of fallen SEALs. "Behind every soldier serving in our military is a family whose love and support makes their complete and unwavering commitment to this country possible," said Andy Stumpf. "The Navy SEAL Foundation exists to support the families of fallen SEALs through counseling, community and education. My goal is to raise one million dollars to fund their Survivor Support Program for 2016 to help these families." This type of long distance wing suit flight required a rigid isometric hold for over 7:00 minutes at a free fall speed sometimes exceeding 140 mph. At an exit altitude of over 36,000 feet, oxygen was limited, and temperatures ranged from -54° F at plane exit to 100° F at landing. Skullcandy Human Potential Labs helped Andy with the physical and mental preparation required to set the world record. "Andy embodies Skullcandy's mission to inspire life at full volume, and the complexities of his world record attempt made it a perfect initiative for Skullcandy's new Human Potential Labs," said Skullcandy Chief Executive Officer, Hoby Darling. "It is an honor to support and shine a light on a person like Andy. Someone who pushes his own limits in order to give back to a cause he cares about deeply. That inspires all of us."
