OMG ... at the rate at which it appears he fell and how quickly it looks like the "parachute" hit the ground, there's no way he survived that. Did he?

justme,@fuzzems, in the comments someone posted an article saying he died. He had done this many times before. Best I can figure that small chute was to pull out the big chute that was on his back and it failed to do so.

When he was jumping I was thinking the helmet probably isn't going to be much good for for blunt force trauma

I just can't imagine what was going through his mind as it all unfolded ... well, actually didn't unfold but ...

I don’t see the point for a 20 second thrill. Seems a waste of one’s life.

That sound of him hitting was crazy. I saw a jumper once and I’ll never forget that sound. He was 50 ft off the ground and he hit on dirt.

I want to feel sorry for him but if you are stupid enough to jump off a building with a homemade parachute.....
