Self Induced HALO

I managed to climb with my paraglider inside a cloud to 6230 meters (20.424 ft) to then jump with my BASE rig.

Here is the vid: http://youtu.be/tL03d9gXz6A

Lands on auto pilot?

Weight one side so it collapses and streamers in. I can't view the video here, but if I recall, it shows it landing in the back ground at the end of the video.

Looked to be a pretty damn good "spot" for the glider too!

I take it this isn't legal? :P

Cool jump though, what prep did you do in terms of oxygen and flushing out nitrogen beforehand?

Despite what the APF would have you believe, people can jump from above 18000MSL without dying The video did mention Boost Oxygen, though.

Legality depends on the rules where it happened.

If it had been in the US, due to rules about airspace above 18000ft, it would have been difficult to get all the necessary approvals.

But it was in Canada (according to the OP's "Flag") and the rules are different up there.

Says "San Marcos, Mexico" if I read it correctly. If it had been Canada, they would have said "excuse me" before jumping.

Oops. I was going off the OP's location. I missed it in the vid.

Same thing applies. Mexican airspace rules are different than in the US.

And it would have been "Excuse me, eh"
