Yes James but he is Pro Stunt Man
had others dropping with him
to ensure he was lined up

And he has done it before with NO TV Cameras

Better still if he had jumped all that way and landed his feet in a bucket of water.

So you get up one morning and you think, you know what, I'm going to drop from 27,000 feet, without a parachute, into a net. Like you do...

What a feeling that must have been... but there's not enough money in the world that would make me consider it.
