So, counterintuitively, I’m pretty sure that shite is still way safer than BASE jumping
Red Bull does some crazy things, but they also have dedicated safety teams to make sure these stunts are "safe" as they can be.

It looks like the box they ride in is kind of a tight fit. I wonder if they just brace themselves against the front and back of the box to counter the acceleration.
1,200 feet is a pretty long distance so it may be spread out over time.
