No backup parachute?
The people involved knew at 0:10 that he was a dead man.

Mike Hughes (c. 1955 – February 22, 2020) was an American limo driver, daredevil, and flat Earth conspiracy theorist known for flying in self-built rockets.[2][3] He was known as "Mad" Mike Hughes.
Hughes lived in California.[1][3] In 2002 he set a Guinness world record with a 103-foot (31 m) jump in a Lincoln Town Car stretch limo.[4][5][6] According to the Associated Press, Hughes built his first crewed rocket on January 30, 2014, and flew 1,374 feet (419 m) in just over one minute over Winkelman, Arizona. According to CBC News, Hughes collapsed after the landing and it took him three days to recover. Hughes stated that the injuries suffered from the flight put him in a walker for two weeks.[7][8] Hughes once stated he had plans to run for governor of California.[9]
