Has anyone heard why he did not get the longest free fall record as well if he jumped like 15,000 feet higher than the previous record? Did he pull the cord sooner (higher elevation) or was it that he just so much more speed? I think the guy running through the checklist before the jump is the guy who held the record since 1960.
