Pressure has everything to do with this. Go scuba diving. Feel what it feels like to have water just totally pushing against you. We have that same feeling of pressure on land as well and where you were jumping from... Where he was at, there was almost 0 pressure. He really just didn't feel much until he started spinning.

He probably really felt the initial acceleration off the balloon, but once he lost a reference, it was probably as close to the feeling of weightlessness as you can get.
