World's FIRST Drone Jump, (or I will never do that!)

It is not a UAS, It's manned! 400' does not apply. Hope he has a license! ;)

Manned yes, be he's not piloting it. I think the FAA has a loop hole here regarding policy. Just as a side not this doesn't appear to be in the US.
 
well i guess if he hangs on he could be classed as a spotter and BLOS can not count, you can't get better direct visual than that. strap him in and away you go.

what i would like to have seen is him hang on and then pull out a mavic and let rip.

Quite the spotter. "STOP!! You're about to crash into a building."
 
Why did they drag it into the pond to launch? To keep debris from the props?

If i counted correctly, that thing has 20 propellers. That's going to blast debris everywhere and into the motors. It was likely a safety precaution.

Actually it is 400 ft from the highest point. In this case 400ft from the top of that tower would still be legal.
