Was there not a rumour that he was lucky not to start spinning? If he had then the velocity would have caused him to blackout with fatal consequences.
How many went on to watch the skydiving accidents on youtube that were advertised in the bottom right of the screen. Some are truly horrific.

6 minutes......, by Heavyconsumer on Apr 26, 2008 18:05:07 GMT 1, I love that video, it's superb. Just viewed a few other videos there too and ended up seeing these wingsuit diving clips that totally blew my mind. Now that looks like it's gonna totally overtake traditional skydiving. I got a similar buzz from when I first saw freerunning on tv several years ago (those French nutters jumping about on buildings).

6 minutes......, by ABC on Apr 26, 2008 18:19:45 GMT 1, I've worked with a few from SPAG (RN) and a few others who are HALO trained, It certainly takes big big balls, especially if the boats do not inflate on entering the water and they have to blow them up themselves. It's not like turning up at the weekend for a ยฃ50 Tandem jump.

6 minutes......, by funyoung on Apr 26, 2008 21:54:43 GMT 1, I have never heard of SPAG but sounds funny.
Highest I ever went was 14,000 or so and is a mere seventh or so of the height this guy went to. Mad. Especiallty back in those days when they had no idea what would happen. True sense of adventure.
