I'm sure he did.  He had 2 cameras mounted to his chest.  They're planning on doing a documentary on it for tv.  It'll be out in a month or so.

Super crazy, this guy has some serious balls!!! Very cool but I think he was very lucky as if he had not came out of that flat spin it may have ended badly. Glad to see him get it done I had been waiting since March to watch it!!!
Sold my Charger unfortunately....never got it finished.

I was reading that somewhere that they guy who previously held the record was saying that those spins are normal. I was thinking if he had to close his eyes during the spin to not get disoriented.

They talked to him and he said it was very dangerous and he said that he felt like he was going to pass out. Just say the new video of the camera he had mounted on his chest. Very wild !

I can't figure out how the parachute works at the speed of sound.  I would think you would either be dismembered or the 'chute would be shredded.    :shruggy:

I'd be guessing yes.
