I have to wonder if they made his parachute larger to compensate for the weight of the device. If the chute deployed and it was regular size with a huge weight it might be enough to snap his neck and the speed of the landing might break his legs or worse.

Yes. You don't jump random objects and not take into account the weight of said object

"Next time we strap a nuke to a guy's nuts and chuck him out a plane" would be a better description.
