By the way, that was a pretty incredible video. I can't believe he came that close to the ground. He's flirty with disaster though. All it would have taken was a strong down burst of wind to turn that flyby into a life ending disaster.

I won't say what he's doing is safe, of course, but I think the close to free-fall speed he's going and very small wing area would lessen that danger a fair amount.
But yes, if he keeps that up his life expectancy will be shorted a bit.
