Luke Aikins freefall landing
The first man to jump from 25,000 feet without a parachute! I don't know how it is possible to walk with a huge pair of balls like this guy has. :bigeyes:

Watched that last night. They showed it on time delay in case it went bad.

That looks to be a non-insurable activity.

All I can say, is wow!

Apparently some sort of copyright is blocking the vid now.
It has always been my understanding there is never a reason to jump from a perfectly good airplane. |

PS: I agree 200%, jumping from a perfectly flying plane is not a natural act, you need to be a bit crazy :biggrin2: |

If you have ever been up in a C119 airplane, I don't believe any one would have to push you out the door. Nothing but a bucket of bolts rattling. Don't know how it ever got off the ground. Jumped 25 times, most of them in Germany in the mid 50"s. That guy jumping with out a parachute is unbelievable. Took more than a big set of you know what. Have a great evening.

There are fools who try to defy the Laws of Physics, those who fear the Laws of Physics, and those who understand them well.
He got his 2 minutes of glory but does it worth it? What this stunt has to offer to our world? Does it make it better? Do we learn something from this? Well I actually do! I know now he would have reached an average terminal velocity for a human in about 17 seconds. He would be falling at approximately 53 m/s or around 120 Mph and..... Apparently Chuck Norris can do it without a net, landed on a horse and rode off into the sunset...I personally think If Chuck Norris jump out of this plane the planet need a net to not been crash by him. :biggrin2: |
Funny and crazy how some do these things. I think they just have alot of guts and desire to achieve impossible things. I did a search and saw Felix Baumgartner in 2012 jump from 24 miles up and hit velocity of 800mph or something like that.:bigeyes:

If I tried that I would have made one big splat on the ground. :biggrin2:
