Country: | Like hang yourself under an airplance with a coat hanger?
At least he was wearing a helmet. Good thinking. Makes the suffering last longer.

Country: | I loved the enthusiasm he shows at the beginning. You can just tell by the tenor of his voice that this is going to be a "Hey Bubba, watch 'iss" moment.

Country: | ‘Not fake - He’s dead. It happened Wednesday 1 April 1981, in Hawaii.
This is the news report of the incident:
Australian stuntman Jim Bailey, known as ”The Human Torpedo,” fell 500 feet to his death from an airplane while making a film for television Wednesday, authorities said.
Initially, authorities said Baily was performing for ABC-TV’s ”That’s Incredible,” but the show’s producer denied having any connection with the accident.
Witnesses, including members of the Maui Fire Department and the rescue unit, said Bailey, a resident of Brisbane, Australia, was suspended underneath a single-engine Ballanca by a strap and belt when the belt broke. He hung onto the strap for a few seconds before falling.’ Jim Bailey’s Fatal Stunt - moonbuggy

Country: | He could have atleast tried to swing his leg up before letting go.... What a pathetic, feeble attempt at trying to save ones own life....
