    He was required to wear a parachute on the jump but didn't need to use it. Also had three guys with him down to around 5000 feet. Bet he was sore after that kind of deceleration in the net.

    For some reason they then said he didn't need the chute and he went w/o it. Pretty dumb thing to do but it was cool to watch.
    Yep, my name really is Bob.

    Yeah, like BF said, he was off to the side. That was sketchy. That "almost" factor would probably haunt me. Pretty crazy.
    Looks like they had a second net, too?

    I thought it was a bit chilling when the other guys pulled, and he was all on his own.
    I know weather is a huge factor in planning these types of things, but I can't help thinking, what if there were an unexpected gust? Or any number of ways this could have gone wrong?

    I don't think this ends here. It'll be higher elevations and a race to jumps next. Bets on Red Bull getting involved at some point?
    I disabled signatures.
