may aswell just do it now, not like the guy is going to survive
Actually, he has a very high chance of survival. They have been planning for 2 years, including a jump he completed a few months ago from 96,640 feet (29,460 m) - he reached 863 km/h.
Faster than the speed of sound + open parachute = biggest wedgie of all time.
Also I haven't really looked into the whole thing, but is he wearing a suit to protect from the heat?
Actually, he will slow down before releasing the shoot. As he drops, the atmospheric pressure increases, though the effects of gravity are broadly similar. Because of this he may hit up to Mach 1.2 before dropping sub sonic and then opening his shoot a mere 1500m after falling for more than 5 and half minutes.
There won't be any atmospheric entry friction heat, he simply isn't going fast enough or high enough up. The spacesuit will protect against temperature extremes due to exposure to high altitude.
Yep, he is wearing a simple space suit, there is not much oxygen at all at that height
Not to mention a lack of pressure.
