When the shoot opened it would have been neck breaking.

Thats if it wasnt broken in the 'out of control' moment. That looked awkward.

The lower he got, the more dense the air would have become, so his terminal velocity when he popped his chute, would have dropped dramatically from his peak speed.
Would have loved to seen the view first hand when he was sitting about to jump off. Would have been incredible!

Awesome!! Also consider this: as he stood on his little platform before jumping, commercial airliners at their normal altitude were flying at a level nearly 29 kilometers BELOW where he was standing...

I'm not sure you could jump from much higher up without things getting a little toasty on the way down...
