It looks as though he is wearing neither a harness or a 'chute; this guys is nuts! He even gets in a little sword play with the pilot.

Great shots, thanks for sharing.

Looks like he knows EXACTLY how to use the forces acting on him and the aircraft to his advantage,still certifiable tho'......

Very cool series - sword fight is a classic and to stand while the plane does a roll is just nuts.

Once knew some guys who did these aerial stunts. The hands free stunts are done today by placing feet into special bindings (vaguely like ski bindings) attached to the top of the wing. Hands are always used as an alternative when a foot or feet are removed from the bindings. Still quite dangerous though since one slip or mistake while climbing around on the aircraft can easily lead to a fall.

You can see how he is attached to the plane for the roll over manuvers. In the first picture, you can see the belt and his feet don't touch the wing.
