World's highest bungy jump

Took place in Macau. I used a nikon 70-200 with Nikon TC-2Eii teleconverter. For the record, this is probably not the best combo as there is a considerable loss of sharpness.
I'm a little concerned about how red my friend John looks though this guy turns redder than a tomato quite frequently so perhaps he really was this red during the jump.
The thing is, even with the lens racked to 400mm, I couldn't really see anyone up there, so I had to just shoot everyone and then see if they were John later.
The jump is about 233m tall (which I think calls for at least a 600mm lens to shoot properly) and one falls around 200 meters. They let people stand right under the jump platform just about which is nice. My neck really hurt after angling up the whole time.
Perfect form for about .00003 seconds
And then he started flailing his arms like Icarus.
Not sure, can you see his face? Let me crop in a bit? Yep, complete panick.
On the rebound
My friend John actually got really tired of me taking his picture so he only allowed me one take, then started moving again. Oh well.
Not the best series, but I've never really shot bungy jumping before and it was quite a challenge.
