It was his speed. Baumgartner was going so fast, that as GD pointed out, he didn't break the record for the longest time durring freefall, even though it was the longest distance. He did, however, break the record for the fastest freefall, and broke the sound barrier (mach 1) without a vehicle.

He could have tested that by Farting on the way down, and seeing if he could hear it after the chute deployed. :D

He was going fast enough: he didn't need the extra propulsion.
