There are things that just pop out at you as, while loads of fun, probably not the brightest thing to do. This would fall into that catagory for me. I can envision being driven into the ground like a tent peg using something like that. Looks like it would be a blast to try though!
While I agree in theory, I saw he wa wearing a parachute when he climbed into the plane. My thoughts are that he had a quick release system for the wings and jet and then could engage the chute. That is the only way I would consider implementing such a device. Not that I would test it.
