Skydiver gets ready for 23 mile jump
He wants to drop from 120,000 feet and check parachute at 5,000 feet. Is this guy nuts or what? Current record is from 102,000 feet by USAF Col. Joe Kettinger in 1960.

I wonder, how do parachutes resist the "impact" of drastically slowing a man at terminal velocity when he opens his canopy?
