Wing walker falls to death at Michigan air show

There's a few different high definition videos out there, I saw 2 different ones than this on the news that were from a much closer angle so if anyone has them please add it as an update, this is from a cell phone.

DETROIT — Authorities say an aerial wing walker stuntman has been killed in a 200-foot fall while performing a stunt at an air show at an air base near Detroit.
A base spokesman says the stuntman was trying to move from a plane to a helicopter when he fell.
Technical Sgt. Dan Heaton says the accident happened about 1:30 p.m.
He says an ambulance took wing walker Todd Green to Mount Clemens Regional Medical Center. Hospital spokeswoman Diane Kish says Green died from his injuries.
Selfridge is in Macomb County's Harrison Township, neighboring Mount Clemens. The air show and open house began Friday and ends Sunday.
