The Imgur comments are pretty good.

My favorites:

Jesus Christ! Thats the shit that happens outside..?

white people are just bored at this point

I'm surprised the bungee can support the weight of his massive steel balls.

Actually, you could work up to something like this without THAT much extraordinary effort. I mean, you can calculate the g-forces he'll experience at the maximum depth of the rope, which can be translated to an equivalent amount of weight.

Now do chin/pull ups until you can do a few reps of that weight (i.e. your body weight plus extra weight in a weight belt). Of course this is the hard part, but a lot of sporty people are already doing work like this for fun.

If your calculations are accurate, he wouldn't even ever reach that level of force because he's more-or-less safe to release probably within 15 feet of the ground before the rope is fully extended.
