Am I right in thinking he flew up there in a paramotor and then jumped off it? What happened to the paramotor? It just crashed in a random place you have no control over?

According to the article there was a pilot in addition to a skydiver.

There’s a video of the jump in the article. You can kinda see the pilot in the paramotor flying away, as the jumper leaves.
