I may have identified the speed flyer as a 2000 year old immortal Roman soldier Longinus who is cursed with immortality (in capable of death)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Longinus
..an immortal cursed by God for interfering with his plans. The Spear of Destiny was supposedly the only weapon that could release Longinus from his curse.
..to become an immortal soldier, forever killing and being killed, and coming back to life after every death.[16]
The short version is Longinus was the Roman soldier who made sure Jesus was dead by cutting his leg artery with a spear, and thus he was sentenced to immortality so he would take many wives over and over and see each one pass before him over and over as punishment.
The paraglider pilot in the video is immortal, other wise he would be a goner.
