Looked like he did it on purpose.

i think he did it on purpose as well - then added the ground footage for dramatic effect.

I dunno, the way he cursed and screamed... I think he f*cked up.

seems pretty extraordinarily dangerous for someone to do on purpose. and the ground footage did look like it was part of a TV show... but I still think the guy accidentally did it.
