Aeronautical authorities confirmed that Toivonen drove from an aircraft at the record altitude and broke the previous record of 9190 metres made by a paratrooper, Tomi Aaltonen, 45 years ago.
Toivonen jumped out of the aircraft amidst a minus 56 degrees Celsius temperature and freefell for two minutes and 25 seconds before opening his parachute.
Toivonen said he would jump from a hot-air balloon at the altitude of 10 kilometres.
