Congratulations are in order to Mr. Baumgartner for actually pulling it off (and living to tell the tale
).
From the accounts available it looks like he did not have any drogue deployed as it would have made the "frefall" part in "highest parachute jump" record void, but he did have one ready to be deployed any time were he to become too unstable to safely continue the jump. He did come close to deploying it as he eventually started tumbling head over heels, but managed to become stable again and continued the freefall until the planned deployment altitude.
