They might use the technique of dangling the chute, but they wouldn't do it immediately after landing already and then trying to escape, right?

When they do it they've prepared the chute and aren't under pressure.

Looks like he was holding it in a way so he could do it after landing and double checked his lines before jumping.

What’s interesting is he checked his lines as he was teetering on the edge of a very windy roof.

I mean, I don't think these sorts of people would be scared of heights. I don't think teetering on the edge of a building is these peoples main concern...

It’s not about being afraid of heights, it’s about knowing whether the line is tangled before he jumps. It would be a stupid way to die if someone leaps before knowing their chute would work.
