And youse guys were worried about drones...

Add a canyon and the looks like the same thing Evel Knievel tried once.
 
Is he saying he will get to 500mph in the space of 1 mile?
If so, what is the resultant g-force for that acceleration?
 
I think he needs some help from folks who know something about parachute design and deployment. . .

Nothing too substantial. I seem to recall top fuel dragsters do the 1/4 mile in about 4 seconds. Even going from 0-500 MPH in 4 seconds it's 5.7 gs, well less than what Red Bull air racers see. And realistically it'll be more than 4 seconds, probably more like 8-9, which would bring it down in the range of <3 gs.

That, however, assumes linear acceleration, which this probably won't have.
 
At the height he is planning to get to he could just buy a drone with a camera. Or a balloon. Or take a flight on an airplane. But yea, Darwin.
