He's made 18,000 parachute jumps, helped train some of the world's most elite skydivers, done some of the stunts for "Ironman 3." But the plunge Luke Aikins knows he'll be remembered for is the one he's making without a parachute. Or a wingsuit.
Or anything, really, other than the clothes he'll be wearing when he jumps out of an airplane at 25,000 feet this weekend, attempting to become the first person to land safely on the ground in a net.
The Fox network will broadcast the two-minute jump live at 8 p.m. EDT (5 p.m. PDT) Saturday as part of an hour-long TV special called "Heaven Sent."
Assuming he has an oxygen supply, what's the big deal?
Either way he will land whether he hits the net or not.
And charge five dollars to see it! Then you can buy the video....Saw this yesterday. The guy is an idiot but maybe they'll name the crater after him.
He wont make much of a crater more like a splat
That or bounce.
This actually doesnt sound all that fantastic. He will be wearing enough clothing to use it as a bit of an airbrake, he has the ability to steer to the target, and he will be landing in a large net suspended 20 stories above ground that has been tested numerous times using dummies. It SOUNDS spectacular...but...
Daredevil to attempt jumping out of plane at 25,000 feet without a parachute | Fox News
Tune in Sat 8 pm (5 pm PDT)- The event will broadcast with a time delay.
Not hard to figure out why.
Megyn Kelly will be there to greet him in a cocktail dress if he lands on the "anti Trump" half of the net!So this is what a post Roger Ailes Fox News looks like?
The story says that they tested it with dummies and one of them went right through the net.
Well I hope that guy enjoys dying.

Im sure they will drop several more...7-1 success rate isnt bad. Now with what they have learned...Yep - tested dummies and 1 bounced right out of the net- adjustments made.
Now what could go wrong?
If God meant for us to jump out of airplanes for no good reason, he would've gave us wings!Daredevil to attempt jumping out of plane at 25,000 feet without a parachute | Fox News
