Poor planning or gessestimate.

A typical floor is 10 ft.

23 floors would be 230 ft on the low end.

Not enough air to open a chute.

I think he learned of his error.

That would give him a little less than 4 seconds.

But it looks like the lowest base jump was 39 meters/95 feet. Probably used a static line or some other quick deployment method for that one.

Another source on this story said he jumped form the 14th floor(!)

Don’t they usually leave out floor 13?
