That's crazy!! Looks like the FDS works pretty well.

Extreme, but smart - perfect execution of a redirect on the first jump and then a well timed eject on the second when he couldn't make the redirect in howling winds with the kite lazily falling into the window.

Noticed something strange in the video - right after he crashes into the water he resurfaces at least 15 ft away and upwind? Can anyone explain how that is possible? Oh and how lucky can you get right after crashing there is a lightning flash... Oi!

Must have been at least a 50 foot jump - that's about on par with Robby Naish's crazy altitude jumps.
