  • Man plans to jump WITHOUT A PARACHUTE from 25,000' and land in a Deceleration Net.

    That's what Luke Aikins youtube video says. His airspeed of 125mph is going to be the same whether he jumps from 3,000 feet or 25,000 feet. I guess the higher altitude will give him an additional minute to narrate his jump on video.

    He's landing on a deceleration net measuring 100 feet square. I've spent time jumping on trampolines and have a tremendous respect for them. You can injure yourself real easy if you land wrong. That's why all the High Schools and Colleges removed them from their PE Departments in the mid 1970's. There were too many serious injuries and lawsuits. Front drops on a trampoline are easy if you are skilled. If your angle of pitch is wrong, chest or legs low, it hurts and that's from 5-10' off the tramp. At 125mph, you're talking severed spinal cord. Place your bets.
