HOW could I have missed this? Had a great time in 2009 with my son John and his friend. NEXT YEAR, for sure!
10 Questions about Baumgartner’s Jump

Old Pilot says that the 800MPH speed was the fastest. A number of pilots/RSOs ejected from SR-71s. Some lived, some died.
I'm sure there were others that ejected from high-speed aircraft (I imagine a number punched out of F-104s and F-105s at supersonic speeds.)
Also, I believe there were rocket-sled tests done at supersonic speeds.

Be that as it may - the sudden wind blast would tend to bust you up pretty good.
As far as Felix goes - his speed was vertical against almost NO ATMOSPHERE at all!
