This gave me the willies. If you're not ok with practically watching yourself plummet to your end, this isn't for you.

Well that made me feel a little better about sky diving. At least I know what I could be in for.

It's quite amazing that. When he was falling it appeared as though he was above water for the most part. I'm guessing the lift brought him towards land, unless he deliberately navigated to the land?

That is amazing! Not the fact that that happened, but the fact that he survived. He was lucky that those thicket of blackberry bushes were at the exact spot that he would land that saved his life.

Makes me wonder what it would be like to concede your imminent death and survive.
