Luke Aikins leaps from 25,000 feet, becomes first skydiver to successfully jump without parachute


In an astonishing and amazing feat, Luke Aikins on Sunday July 31,2016 become the first Skydiver in the world to successfully jump without a parachute in Simi Valley, California

The three skydivers who accompanied Aikins eventually deployed their own parachutes, but Aikins kept going without a chute until he landed in a giant net after about two minutes



Luke Aikins  landed in a net in Simi Valley, California after leaping from a plane at 25,000 feet.

The net, the production crew members had set up, was about one-third the size of a football field and 20 stories high.

Aikins, a trained elite skydiver, fell for about two minutes and then flipped onto his back at the last second, landing perfectly in the 100-by-100-foot net at about 120 mph
