He won't go splat. The guy who did this in 1960 jumped from 102,000 feet. He survived fine and I would think that technology has advanced since then. The new record will only be another 20,000 feet. Not a big del over 102,000 is it? Besides I would think it would be more of a thud than a splat but what do I know.
