I think if he had squirrel suit(or whatever its called) he may have been able to make it to planned touch down target.

Irving, if he didnt have chute for first few thousand feet where did he get it for last 20,000 feet? Or are you talking about on the way up?
Yeah sorry, I meant on the way up. He had it stashed in with the balloons. I don't remember exactly what he said, but I thought he said he was going to pull it down out of the balloons and put it on at around 5,000 feet on the way up.
