Fastest speed in speed skydiving (FAI-approved, female)

The fastest speed in speed skydiving (female) is 497.31 km/h (309.01 mph) and was achieved by Natisha Dingle (Australia), as verified by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) in Hohenems, Austria, on 30 August 2025.

Today, Natisha Dingle has surpassed her previous Guinness World Records title of 491.99 km/h (305.70 mph) in 2022. She remains the reigning champ when it comes to the 'fastest female speed skydiver' as she reached an average speed of 497.31 km/h (309.01 mph).

To Natisha, skydiving is not only a passion but a form of freedom. The secret to her successful outcome, she mentions- is to hold/maintain a streamlined body position (i.e. not moving much) to reduce air resistance. A streamlined body position in skydiving simply means arching the body; with arms and legs extended while the stomach is facing down.
