Default 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.

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

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

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

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
