I'm sure I heard of him a few years ago and deadline had gone so i thought he had changed his mind but obviously he hadn't

Unless there was a technical issue why would he not want to go through with it?

There WAS a technical issue. They weren't sure his helmet heater was working. He jumped anyway.
