Looked pretty unpleasant - he also ended up pulling his chute earlier than planned and not breaking the free fall time record, perhaps he wasn't feeling too good after all the tumbling.

That camera's a bit deceptive though - a few commentators were going on about how he was so high the curvature of the earth was clear. Fair enough but the "fish-eye" camera makes it look as though he was higher than the space station
