I think he actually says "OH SH!T" or some such too, I would probably say the same thing if I realized my parachute was failing.

I would definately make a smart ass comment.
Something like, "Well sh!t..."
I refuse to do things like sky dive or bungee jump.
I wake up every day with a certain chance of dying. No need to pay to increase that chance.

More importantly, what would you personally say, knowing the camera was recording the whole thing and that it may be the last thing anybody was able to hear from you?

wow... the guy was lucky, he plummeted like a rock, although I bet the remainder of the parachute did decrease his speed a bit.
