Right near the end of the video, it looks like one of them deploys a red chute. Kinda tough to say, though, given the quality of the video. Maybe it was just a red splat as he came to a stop.
I had the same initial reaction as RobVG...the control surfaces of the suit just don't seem large enough...but that's just a gut reaction, I don't have the background to make any real judgement.
Would I do it? Absolutely 100% no way. I don't have anything like the guts it'd take to do that.
Years ago I saw some video of a guy who appeared to be several thousand feet high. His chute was open, but he'd unbuckled his harness and was hanging from it by one hand. In the other hand he had a beer that he was sipping on the way down. I guess he'd jumped so many times that doing it "by the book" wasn't enough for him anymore. Wonder if he's still around.
