How come here it says 12,000 feet, and other places says 4,000 feet?

Also, it’s a bit misleading saying he did it without a chute, because he did have one, just didn’t open properly, but must have caused enough drag/air resistance to slow him down.

Jose Maria!!! I fail to comprehend why it is that some people can survive a 2 MILE FALL and other people die when they fall off the roof of a one-story ranch house. On an entirely unrelated note, there was an article in the sidebar of the skydiving article about how Bill Haley and the Comets first coined the term "teenager" during a 1957 tour in the UK. Who knew?

Mikey, so does that make you what, a 3 month-old baby? According to the article this just happened in December and the video was only posted to the Daily Mail two weeks ago. I think you have bigger things to worry about if you are having conversations with your dead relatives.
