Crikey
I thought he was going to be handed a parachute in midair, but no. He must have been supremely confident to stage the landing in front of a crowd.

It's nearly as brave as typing a subject line without a tide button.

they apparently tried to make him take one at the last minute for 'safety reasons'
political correctness gone mad ..... he declined and managed to convince them that the extra weight would represent more of a risk on landing. who would want to be in that crowd?

Not sure, but this guy looks like he may have a reserve chute under his jump suit too.

I did wonder..
They do make ones very slim (compared to standard rigs) for use in stunt work. I did wonder what the plan was if it looked like they were being blown off course.. You can't just hold on to someone else whilst they open their parachute (I have tried this). One of the other jumpers who stayed very close to him had what looked like a loop in his hand - maybe that was to try quickly putting it around the guy's wrist if things didn't look good.
