Yeah, that's too short. Maybe base jumpers might pull it off, but you have to be trained, with proper equipment, and most of all, ready.
Which obviously this guy probably wouldn't have been.

Nonetheless, we stand in awe and amazement at your spirit of self-sacrifice in service to mankind, willing to go where no man has gone before. We all be askeered to.

For the thrill of it! If you ever meet a stunt performer you will soon find out they believe themselves indestructible but not arrogant enough not to take what they do very seriously.
They embrace life and do not cower in a corner hopping life will pass them by and leave them intact until the grave.

Note to self: If flying in a bi-plane which cannot land be very careful when walking out on the wing to jump onto a helicopter.

As I have told many spectators over the years who watched us fly hang gliders in various locations: “Some people are so afraid of dying that they don’t know how to live”.

at 200 feet, by time he started falling, I don’t think a parachute would of helped much, not enough time to deploy.

Yeah, only a base jumper could have pulled that off.

You’re right! I used the airport for the 35 miles.
Owned an automotive stamping business in Mt. Clemens right on the edge of the airbase.

Saw that on the news (Detroit) last night. Not what I’d want to see at an air show.

Apparently you are one that wont do things that could kill you. Do you do heroin? I bet you don't, and for very good reasons. When I think of my loved ones, and those who depend upon me, and how it would affect them for me to throw my life away doing something stupid, I know that no, I'm not going to do something that could kill me unless there's a darn good reason.
