Do you think he was wearing a parachute?
If he was, I wonder at what point he would have to have decided that things weren't going to plan and that he should deploy it?
Probably at the point when he realised the net he was aiming for was in fact someones Motorhome canopy
But I think he was brave but knew all the possible pitfalls, such a small target area from 5 miles up and missing it doesn't bare thinking about
a gust of wind, a bout of sneezing.
our thoughts too, very mad if he didn't have a chute on

Like to think there are still some out there that likes to do these stunts. Remember Douglas Bader, fought in a Spitfire with no legs. Love it
Douglas Bader was a brave man, he fought for his country even though he had no legs. This person is a thrillseeker,that is different to being brave. He is doing what he wants to do, which is fine but I for one would not feel sorry for him if anything had gone wrong. Sadly there are people who are sick and would give almost anything for a longer life. He chooses to risk his life.
