The reason I ask, what was his body experiencing at that time. I know it would
just be speculation.

Do you guys have any guess on what his acceleration might have been when he
was at the end of the rail. Looked like he was a little unstable but that
could have been the parachute.

If you all remember, Evil Kenevil had the same premature chute deployment on
his Snake River Jump. Fortunately, with different results.

I literally laughed out loud when I read it.
Stupid is as stupid does, and I think we all knew this was going to be the
eventual result if "Mad Mike" kept doing what he had been doing.
I'm sorry for his friends and family. I have no sympathy for the idiot,
himself, however. He'd been warned repeatedly about how stupid his plans
were, and he made the conscious decision to do a potentially-fatal stupid
thing anyway, so it's entirely his own fault, and I have no sympathy for
him.
Still a shame that he gave more publicity to the idiot fringe.
Oh well, at least this will end his particular shilling for the "flerthers"
(great term for flat-Earthers that a few folks were using in the YouTube
comments).
Good riddance,
Rick

Very sad and hard to watch. Found on YouTube. He went doing what he loved
to do.
Definitely had a chute anomaly at liftoff.

Not sure where this took place (i.e., Lucerne area or elsewhere).
