Like hang yourself under an airplance with a coat hanger?

At least he was wearing a helmet. Good thinking. Makes the suffering last longer.
 
I loved the enthusiasm he shows at the beginning. You can just tell by the tenor of his voice that this is going to be a "Hey Bubba, watch 'iss" moment.
 
'Not fake - He's dead. It happened Wednesday 1 April 1981, in Hawaii.
This is the news report of the incident:

Australian stuntman Jim Bailey, known as "The Human Torpedo," fell 500 feet to his death from an airplane while making a film for television Wednesday, authorities said.

Initially, authorities said Baily was performing for ABC-TV's "That's Incredible," but the show's producer denied having any connection with the accident.

Witnesses, including members of the Maui Fire Department and the rescue unit, said Bailey, a resident of Brisbane, Australia, was suspended underneath a single-engine Ballanca by a strap and belt when the belt broke. He hung onto the strap for a few seconds before falling.'

He went from being the human torpedo to the human bomb...

Swinging up would have been difficult in the slipstream, but at least he could have tried. Either way, it was a dumb stunt.
