The Massachusetts-made suit that Felix Baumgartner wore on his record-breaking, 24-mile plummet to earth Sunday will probably set new standards for an emerging category of high-altitude protection.

David Clark Co. of Worcester worked for four years to customize the suit for Baumgartner’s jump, a stunning feat that will be studied to determine how US military pilots, astronauts, and even passengers aboard future commercial space flights might be able to survive similarly high falls.
