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.

Scary to say the least! I don't know how he manage to don't poop in his suit, maybe that's why he has to land on his back, shitty airbag :bigeyes:

That looks to be a non-insurable activity.

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.

Just Google "Luke Aikins" and I'm sure you find someone sharing this video one way or another. (I change the link but he may get block too)

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.
Bob
