Unless you know you had flotation devices which would be inexpensive and light but whatever

"...the ascent took one hour and 31 minutes..." or roughly 1,130 feet per minute, not bad at all, comparable to some low performance WWII aircraft

The Cessna I used to fly climbed at 500 fpm on a good day and if we really wanted our ears to pop we would climb at 700 so that's pretty damn good

statistically a very low probability, in such cases most problems arise as a result of human error, not design flaw

chutes are packed by hand, by specialists, and checked, re-checked, very unlikely such an individual would make a mistake twice and have no one notice it

That would cost so much money, if they released this kind of activity to the public.

if they released this kind of activity to the public.

if you have the money, resources, and expertise, there is nothing to stop you, no one own space (officially) or this kind of activity

yeah I was going to say this. it's not like if you actually did the necessary training and bought/prepared all the equipment, someone could stop you.
