As a result, Mr. Kittinger's body went into a spin that reached 120 revolutions per minute as he plummeted more than 60,000 feet.   

“Now I'm confident I can handle the suit in regular free fall as long as we're not breaking the speed of sound. But as soon as it goes from subsonic to transonic to supersonic, we don't know what to expect.” 

"Parts of your body may be going supersonic while others aren't, causing flutter waves pulling back and forth among the surfaces.”
