Jeeze, its a bit sad them making a joke of the accident that led to someones death.
I apologise for the earlier joke, I though he had a second parachute and lived (admittadly an asumption, based on the fact the video was supposed to be funny).

Really? I guess I assumed that he had a second parachute since the camera on his helmet was so steady during his descent.

Woah, again. If that's the case, I take back my previous sentence too.
I just assumed that given the fact they had got the film he had survived but perhaps not.

I don't think he did. A person did die, in a very similar accident, but it was not this guy. I found this by some searches:

Hate to disprove all the hard work above being the dates are so close together, but the report isn't that of this particular video. The reports in the links above state that the airplane was a Cessna 206 Which it clearly doesn't resemble. As a 206 is a single engine and the airplane in the video is a twin. The airplane in the video resembles a De Havilland Twin Otter Also if you can pause the video at the right time the plane's registration number is N2049?. The registration of the airplane in the above reports is N8619Z. So maybe these guys got out of it ok, who knows. Scary that these sort of things happen more than once. Thanks for the reports man.
