The point still stands that you can only do it once. I mean, do you think he'd wanna do it again?

I'm sure he would! maybe a bit higher or changing something in the mix. Plus I'm sure he took a couple of practice runs at lower hights to prepare for this so I would say he has probably done this more than once!

Still, you wouldn't want to crash into the ground from TOO high...

Actually after a certain point it is all kind of the same! You hit terminal velocity and stop accelerating, unless you get really high where the atmosphere starts thinning out things start to change a bit but not much. But the point remains you can skydive multiple times without a parachute, as long as you keep the ground largely out of the mix!
