Super disappointed... first thing that was said when the hour long show started was that "The SAG has force him to wear a parachute". False advertising and im angry now
No man really becomes a fool until he stops asking questions.
So... minutes before the jump, he took his parachute off... jumped without the chute, and completed the jump. He is not dead.

He made it
I'm the root of all that is evil, yeah, but you can call me cookie.
Hmmm no one bothered to show the net he landed on. OR the pulley towers it was mounted to to decelerate his landing.

its actualy not that implausible.
having jumped couple of times, those guys basically go up, jump, go up, jump go up again, all day, every day. I think they did at least 7 or 8 groups per day at least when I went? and that's with extra time spent for on the ground demonstration/practice for the tourists. when they are jumping for themselves? there is less waiting between going back up, so... yeah...
that said... this dude is actualy probably less nuts than the guy who walked tight rope between sky scrapers. back and forth. the one they did a movie about?
He made it and here is the whole jump video:

There are "extreme" free falling rides available to the public that get to 100 km/h (60mph).
Terminal velocity speed, the speed that this guy would be at when he hits the net, is around 200 km/h (120mph).
He almost didn't make it though:

On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism.

This was probably the most intense thing I've seen since I first watched Mustang Wanted.
damn it, i came to watch um something....and left disappointed.
trying to imagine to reactions of that live crowd if things went wrong there. would have been weird to see all the cheering just go silent.
How high up was the net apparatus? ~75kg, ~60 m/s^2 .... if the net tracks with him a little distance like the image above shows... would it be any different than slamming on the brakes in a car?
