I think the guy on the ground leaping out the way says it all, and the still shot of just how close he got.... Did he get between the balloons and the floor?

I believe they've got some control over speed vs lift or speed vs RoD. You wouldn't want to sneeze at the wrong moment though!

If you watch his other vids you find out he's aware of the fear, and more about the guy.... ***** the size of melons is all I can say

Logically, if he hit soft ground at a glancing blow traveling mostly horizontally, and he was wearing some equivalent to bike leathers, it shouldn't be any less survivable than some of the spills you see in MotoGP or Superbikes.

That's quite a lot of ifs though
