Saskatchewan - French skydiver Michel Fournier on Monday postponed his historic jump from a balloon 40 kilometres above Canada's western plains due to strong winds, his team said.
Winds had gusted up to 20 kilometres per hour, according to weather forecasters.
Another try would be scheduled for Tuesday, a member of his team told AFP, as Fournier exited his balloon capsule.
