There are so many simpler ways to commit suicide.
Why do these nuts need to set up an audience first?
No, I do not have any respect for this loon.

That sucked to see. His endeavor cried out to be made fun of, but that was awful.
He had to know he was doomed.

Yeah, he had the getting up part nailed - the coming down part not so much

Mad Mike ran out of steam (steam powered rocket).
No one thought to buy him a ticket for a Southwest Airline flight to anywhere so he could take pics out the window.
But with his luck, he would have got a aisle seat.
The TMX report was that the parachute deployed perfectly...but was not attached to anything.

If he was using the same chute he used in the video you posted above...it was pretty tattered anyway. Not sure it would’ve been much help.

My son was traveling westbound on I-15/Hwy 58 through Barstow this afternoon on his way to Tehachapi.....I’ll ask him if he saw the “launch”.

We lived in Barstow for a year...some years ago. It had military, Pacific Gas & Electric and trains. That's it.
It was hottern Hades and half way between L.A. and Vegas.
On one jaunt to L.A. we hit the biggest traffic jam I had ever seen. It STARTED 75 miles east of L.A. ALL the way to the City of the Angels. We turned off the freeway sometime before L.A., had some lunch and returned home to Barstow. I wouldn't be surprised if that traffic jam is STILL there.

Barstow isn’t much to look at, but it is in a potentially strategic spot.

Barstow isnt much to look at, but it is in a potentially strategic spot.NO question about that. I wondered even back then why there was SO MUCH military out there. It's out in the middle of nowhere but accessible to all of southern California...and THAT is very important.

He must have hit the glass dome and fell back to the disk.
