Skydiver Free Falls 25,000 Feet With No Parachute

Hollywood stuntman Luke Aikins became the first person to complete a skydive without a parachute or wingsuit Saturday, landing in a net a third of the size of a football field and 20 stories high. Photo: Mark Davis/Getty Images for Stride Gum

looks like a really awesome sport and a good way to over come fear

Enlightenment is like jumping out of an airplane without a parachute.

So the bad news is that you don't have parachute, but the good news is that you discover there is no ground. And then you're just endlessly falling and you never reach the ground.

So in a sense, what i'm asking you to do is to jump. And you don't want to jump. You're saying, I'm scared. I'm too scared to jump. And I'm saying, jump. God is telling you, jump, jump into infinite love and it's going to be great. But you're like, what if I kill myself and what if something else happens? I don't know. You just jump into infinite love. Take the leap of faith and you'll discover infinite love. And you're too scared to do it. But then eventually when you do it, then you're just going to discover that there's no ground. You're endlessly falling forever and it's great. But yeah, taking that leap is really difficult. It requires you to face your death. So of course, everybody is to afraid to do it. People are just to scared.

Kiwi had one of these at the end of his mountain fall🥹

Do they have these as a third option for skydivers? Like if they’re second parachute were also to fail, could they free fall into something like this?

I came here from Death's Game. Dude should have known that the guy died and should have bailed with the help of the jump team.

CHAEL! CHAEL!
Heres a quarter of how we get them back.
The next videos will show an idea or an attempt

[robertotorino]

Crazy, you will be heading for an early grave, you may pull it of a dozen plus times but one slight miscalculation SNAP *game over* dust to dust ashes….

Remind me never sell any insurance policy to this guy 😅

[marktabaczynski]

So Why couldnt they have installed some impromptu nets like these on 9/11

[Brick-soig]

Showing The Jump From Start to Finish Would be Nice....Simple

Luckily the other guy that was painting giant green squares on the ground was sick that day.

Human is the best between God creatures because of such inventions not for Hydrogen bombs and ICBMs!
