Can’t say I’m familiar with the place :)
But it sounds like a lot of fun!
Hold my beer...lol

. He WILL be wearing a parachute. He should take if off in free fall, that way the FAA can't screw the pilot.
Otherwise I smell Evil Knevel jumps the canyon

Yeah. Claims the parachute is making him go off-course so he pulls the chute.

They already did a test run with a 200lb dummy and the dummy broke right through the net. Even after watching the dummy get destroyed the guy still wants to do it.

While it’s still crazy enough that the guy you reference did a similar jump, he did his from about 2000 feet with a wingsuit out of a stable, hovering helicopter. He flew onto a 100-yard x 20-yard airstrip of cardboard boxes, and since he had a wingsuit, his landing was nearly horizontal, at about 70mph.
This new moron is doing it from 25,000 feet out a Cessna that’s doing 80mph+, and this idiot doesn’t use a wingsuit to provide more aerodynamic action. So he’ll be heading nearly straight down, at about 120mph. This is a guy with a serious death wish.
Well maybe he’ll die “doing what he loves!”

Yeah, I should have expected you would have something rude to say about my good work. Bye now...you can crawl back in your hole.

If you ask an Adrenalin junkie why, he will say why not.

I know it’s only a TV show, but it annoyed me on Family Matters when Carl decided to go skydiving. You’re a cop, so your wife worries about you every day that you’re on the job, and now you’re going to throw this unnecessary risk on top of that? Plus, you have three or four kids you might be leaving behind for nothing.
In real life, the Duggar mother was skydiving on one episode. 19 Kids and Counting, and I think that number went up. Let’s risk leaving them motherless for an adrenaline rush.

I bet if you ask any of us why (we did the most stupid thing we ever did), we would give the same answer :)

On his feet, hugging the wife. He twisted in the air right at the end .... not sure if he was positioning his body to land a certain way or if it was a last minute adjustment - he wasn’t in the middle of the net. He had two skydivers with parachutes with him (putting off smoke so you could see him). When their parachutes deployed & the guy kept on going, you could see how fast he was falling - whew!
