I missed how this was supposed to prove the flatness of the world.

I think he was just a daredevil and rocket enthusiast that used flat earth theory for promotion and fundraising to pay for his hobby. I doubt secretly to himself he truly believed in it, but who knows. The launch that killed him was fundraising for a bigger one where his steam rocket would be launched from a balloon.

I would hate to be the person or company who designed his parachute. RIP.

He died doing what he loved. That is all anyone can ask. That and not suffer.

I saw a video purporting to be this crash, and the parachute flew out as soon as he took off. If it really was the correct video he was doomed from the get go. Parachute deployed on liftoff. You can see it in the video posted above.
To be determined
