Skydiver Luke Aikins Jumps 25000 Feet Into Net With No Parachute
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 тра 2024
- On July 30 2016, Skydiver Luke Aikins, made history, when he jumped from 25,000 feet out of an airplane without a parachute, landing safely in a net set, setting a world record.
Luke, who was 42 at the time of the jump, is a third generation skydiver, who has been skydiving since the age of 16 and has deployed a parachute more 18,000 times over the course of his skydiving and BASE jumping career.
Luke is also is a safety and training adviser for the United States Parachute Association, where he provides advanced skydiving training, to elite military special forces.
After jumping out of the Cessna airplane at 25,000 feet, Luke quickly reached a terminal velocity of 120 miles per hour.
Using his GPS, and only the air currents around him, he lined up his fall to the center of a specialized 100-by-100-foot net, which was designed to stop Luke's fall, as softly as if you were to stand on a trampoline, and merely drop onto your back.
The total time from jumping from the plane to hitting the net, took about 2 minutes. But when you are falling from 25,000 feet into a small net you can’t even see from 25,000 feet, I bet it felt like a life time.
Thanks for watching.

★★★ *FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VIDEO / FACT UPDATES* ★★★
*1) Is he wearing a parachute under his jacket?* - No he is not, Just before climbing into the plane to make the jump, Luke Aikins said "he had been ordered to wear a parachute by the event organisers, but indicated he wouldn't open it. As the plane was climbing to 25,000 feet above the drop zone, he said the requirement had been lifted and he took the parachute off for the jump"
*2) He almost missed the net, he was very close to the edge* - Yes he was, he stated in an after jump interview, once he knew he was over the net, he just focused on rolling over and not worrying about being perfectly in the center. Here is the link to the after interview, the responce is at the 1min mark - ua-cam.com/video/h8WJckkj-QM/v-deo.html
*3) Just before he jumps at **0:19** is he throwing a Nazi Salute?* - He is instructing his camera man that "it's time to jump"
"Comment by Harry Hog" - it's actually a military free fall hand and arm signal for the execution command of “GO” it’s standardized so it can seen in the day or night
★ Here is a diagram from a Military hand signals PDF - photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipMttkQbzS0n5-Yo3qwdOByN5FowfNhKUCplVCJm
★ Here is the PDF Link - fas.org/irp/doddir/army/tc3-21-60.pdf
*4) What is the point of wearing a Helmet?* - Helmets are for when exiting the plane (jumping out) in case they hit their head on the plane they will not be knocked out when falling. Also you can actually survive a fall to the ground at terminal speed, but would still take severe injury including head injury. But I think you will find the TV show, Insurance company and officials required he wore it. It's also a precaution in case you hit one of the other jumpers in mid air and knock each other unconscious.
*5) A man jumped out of a plane with no parachute, through a hole in a roof, onto a trampoline first* - That was a fake jump (CGI / Clever Editing) and a publicity stunt for a trampoline park - Here is an article link www.snopes.com/fact-check/scared-chuteless *I also did a story on that jump here is the link* - ua-cam.com/video/7hG44arJ00s/v-deo.html
*6) He was not the first, in 2012 a man jumped out of a plane with no parachute, and landed on boxes* - I have had a few people mention this stunt, and I cannot believe it needs to be pointed out to these people, he wore a WINGSUIT! and glided onto boxes. TOTALLY DIFFERENT STUNT! *I also did a story on that jump here is the link* - ua-cam.com/video/7hG44arJ00s/v-deo.html
*7) How did he adjust his trajectory to hit the net?* - During free-fall a skydiver can perform a variety of maneuvers such as spinning, moving forward, moving backward, just by changing the shape of his body to "catch" the wind a certain way. In other words subtle changes with his arms and legs.
*8) How high is 25,000 feet in metric?* - it's 7,620 mtrs, although why anyone really needs to know that is beyond me, you can clearly see it's HIGH UP!, also planes fly at 30,000-35,000 feet, so clearly it's high. Mount Everst is 29,030 feet or 8,848 mtrs.
*9) Why jump from only 25,000 feet, why not higher?* - Ann Kathrin said in the comments "it was an unpressurized Cessna 208 Caravan with a service ceiling of exactly 25,000 ft."
*9) How did the cameraman land, what happen to him?* - You will notice in the video at 2:58 that the 3 extra parachuters next to Luke (all in black) opened their parachutes, the footage at 3:11 is from a GoPro on Lukes chest, which you will see at 1:07
*10) People keep jokingly commenting "How did that net support the weight of his massive balls"* - Well it almost didn't, here is a video Luke uploaded 4 months ago, AFTER I made my video of the jump, so I was not aware of it. It was a drop test of a weight bag to test the net system, and on the first test, the weight went right through the net. This is why I believe there were 2 nets, in case he fell through the first one. LINK - ua-cam.com/video/WXggFfVsYiE/v-deo.html
UPDATE 19.5.21: I spoke with the Stunt Coordinator and it turns out the net in the video link was just a substandard quality net to test the theory of catching a certain weight, after this test they upgraded to a better material net.
*11) What about the wind blowing him off course* - They would not have performed this stunt on a windy day, there would have been a maximum safe wind before getting approval for the jump by safety coordinators and insurance company. There was a time where they would not launch the Space Shuttle on a windy day, because of the problems it creates with the launch. They would simply postpone the launch to the wind dies down or until it's a non windy day.
*12) What is the point of the jump?* - Now these are my own opinions on this question, but what is the point of climbing Mt Everest, or any mountain for that matter, and people will tell you "because it's there", Luke achieved a few things doing this jump, that 99.9% of people do not achieve climbing Mt Everest.
- He was the first to do it, and being first always makes anything worth it as you get mentioned in books as being the first, such as the Guinness Books of Records.
- He was already highly experienced and skilled in skydiving, this is just another feather in his cap, showcasing his skill.
- To do something in his field of expertise that has never been done before and to show it can be done, like the first back flip on a Motorcross bike or Monstertruck.
- This was televised live on TV, making it even more impressive, can you recall the last televised climb of Mt Everest? no me either.
- He is now listed in the Guinness Book of Records for this jump.
- All these things combined, now make him a much more sought after skydiver trainer or consultant.
Now all of the above points may be valid, but it could also be as simple as, he just wanted to do it
I already had this FAQ pinned for over 2 years, but somehow I must of deleted it as it was gone when I last checked 6/12/21. Lucky I keep a copy of all my FAQ's so I was able to Cut & Paste instantly.

Life insurance company has left the chat
Made my day hilarious
@Qpid 1986 in my country, it compensated death due to suicide. But it must be happened only after 1 year of the insurance policy. But attempt on suicide which result in injury but no death, will not be compensated. So if anyonr want to suicide, make sure to do it after 1 year taking policy, and 100% die. If not, u get nothing.

I thought jumping out of a perfectly good airplane was risky enough. This man took it to the next step and left the perfectly good parachute on the perfectly good airplane then jumped out.
This is one of the achievements that 99.99% of people couldn't get. It takes careful calculations, training, etc... I salute you sir.
it also takes a shit-ton of money wich also 99.99% of people dont have. if this dude can afford an average of 2 jumps per day since he was 16. he has either rich folks who fully support his hobby or is lucky enough and inherited millions or landed some sponsors crazy enough to have their brand assosiated with a possible disaster (which glady wasnt the case)
Fun fact: for an 8 billion world population, 99.99999% would be 800 people (which might be achievable). 99.99% would be 800,000 people (which likely would not be achievable). If half the pop. are adult (4 bill.), it would still be 99.99998%.
(Had remark that 99.99% is too low)

This is living in the edge to the max.
I had never heard if this life or death stunt before until I ran across this video.
This is the most daring act I've ever seen.
Much respect for men with absolutely no fear of death.
I think most people who do stuff like this and live to tell about it have a healthy fear of death-plus extensive preparation and excellent risk management skills.
Have you ever heard of cave diving & mountaineering? Not as death defying as this but cave divers are like on a ticking clock until their deaths, so many die. I’ve spent weeks listening to mountaineering, caving, diving, cave diving, shipwreck accidents / disasters for weeks now while I work. Some of the guys climbing these 8000+ meter mountains are insane too

@@Utubin was also watching those same type vids but like on terrible ways to die & while entertaining very very very grim to listen to for an extended period of time. At least w the other types of videos, although tragic, they usually die doing what they loved. Same for one of my bestfriends w his motorcycle, speeds like a maniac, runs from the cops, lane splits, etc etc. he loves it too much to stop at least for now, same guy is a year away from getting his doctorate to be a physical therapist. Crazy, guys insanely smart, super lowkey, doesn’t care ab social media, super healthy & strong, just killing it in life but partakes in activity that could EASILY end his life in the blink of an eye. Scares me since I love him been friends since we were less than 5 years old. I take solace in knowing he told me “just remember, If I was to die, I went out doing what I loved” it would still be incredibly painful & tragic to lose such a great friend & person so young & I can’t put into words how much I don’t want that to happen.

Wouldn't the health of his balls be determined by a different kind of doctor? Does your psyche doctor check your balls? You might want to get a different doctor.
He didn't need a parachute his balls are so big they have their own gravity
Kudos to the guy who placed the net at almost precisely the right location!
Lol good one!
What's SO incredibly beautiful about watching this is not only are you free falling, but you're falling so fast it almost looks like you're floating in mid air. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL watching this!
First You are not free falling because there is air resistance which doesn't fit the definition of free fall
Secondly. He is definitely not going faster as if he were on a free fall because of air resistance so as stated in the video he reached a terminal velocity.
Third. What are you referring at the end reminds of einsteins most happy thought. You can search that up. The conclusion is that he is floating in mid air and actually it's the ground and the air that is moving upwards towards him
*This is how my grandfather used to go to school..*

In pratice he did it only once... so it's still correct to say it.

Helmet will help him breathe at 120mph if you go 120mph in your car and stick the top half of your body out the window you will know what i mean
I can't believe I've never heard of this to now. This has got to be one of the most amazing feats ever.

If this was sponsored by Red Bull it would've been everywhere.
Redbull probably didn't because it was way too risky and would look bad on them. But you're right lol
Net full of red bull
I was just thinking why I’m just seeing this for the first time... but if Red Bull sponsored it...
If it was sponsored by Redbull he would of glided in, as Redbull gives you wings.
Because RedBull and that fake space jump was sponsored by NASA and other government agencies to deceive people and get them excited about the fake Mars missions Werner von braun wrote about in 1952 called project Mars before we faked the moon landing to bankrupt Soviets.

I imagine the scariest part of this was having to turn on his back and trust he'll hit the net.
I'm a skydiver and I'd say the total opposite. Basically when jumping I would feel the most anxious because you can barely see your target, the closer you get and the bigger the target becomes and you're on track the more confident you'd feel. At the final end, just turning is merely a final action, at that point you'd be fully confident you'll hit the target. One thing I wonder is why jump from 25.000ft? That's not standard jump height, 12.000 to 13.000ft is standard. It doesn't really serve much purpose other than to complicate the jump with oxygen. He didn't need the altitude to get to the target. Jump exits are always done right above the target (flying against the wind direction) and accounting for wind drift.
@@flybeep1661 I assume jumping at 25,000ft was for the world record.
@@flybeep1661 I'm sure it was purely for the "wow factor" of 25,000ft and to smash the previous record
@@flybeep1661 It is good that you have been jumping to the net and can tell us what it feels like to turn your back to the only thing that will keep you alive. Seriously, you might be a skydiver, but you have no idea what it felt like
Well he'd either hit the net, or it sudden won't be his problem anymore.
imagine he‘s sitting on his couch 5 years later and sees that another person did this successfully but from one meter higher
Actually Amazing He trains special forces so I am sure Air Force, Navy and marine jet pilots offered him the opportunity. Probably on the works with the generals and admirals in charge as it may improve RECRUITMENT and funding from congress to attract young CRAZY RECRUITS 😹😹😹🤣🤣🤣😂😂

@@alphaxfang Not true. I did it from 5 ft when I was a kid.
Making such a jump without a parachute sounds both like the freest and the scariest feeling imaginable.
Thank you for the video, WOW AMAZING
Anyone else felt uneasy when he impacted near the edge?
I know holy shit he almost died

@Anonymous Anonymous The net would've been set up before he even got in the plane. The kind of idiot it'd take to finally set up the net while he is falling would not have been able to coordinate any of this.

I find it amazing that when someone is on a 5-story roof threatening to jump, there will be a squad of first responders that try to talk them down. When the camaras are rolling at 25K feet and someone jumps out of a plan without a parashoot... no worries. He's a professional.
Just imagine for a second the relief he felt when he turned his back to the ground not being able to see what he would hit, and then feeling himself hit the net and slow down. Must have been amazing.
"please slow down, please slow down"
If he missed it, he'd be dead before realizing it.
It must have been such a clear moment when he turned. You either did it right or you are dead. Its so simple i wonder if he accepted death when he turned.
"For a second I thought I was dead. But when I felt something on my back I knew it was the net. Only a net feels like that. If I'd missed that net? I wouldn't of felt a thing. I would've been dead."
A high unlike any drug.
If he would've missed the net he could've still claimed a record for world's flattest man.
Lmfao
Holy shit 😂😂
It would be more like organs sprayed all over the concrete and his limbs being flung 30 metres apart.
i hate to be that guy but anyone could have fallen on the ground as hard as him if they jumped off a 450m+ building
Lmao
Just over fifty years ago Vesna Vulović fell out of the sky from 30,000 feet - and lived. Vulović was a flight attendant on JAT Yugoslav Airlines Flight 367 on January 26, 1972
i have yet to hear a single complaint from someone that missed the net.
When you're skydiving, you have until the end of your life to pull the chute.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 👍
Try youself 😂😂😂
They don't have time to complaint
They can't complain because they will be dead idiot
That net better cover the whole United States when I jump with no parachute.
@Sauce Buster splat
I'd still manage to somehow end up in the Bermuda triangle
@@maluboy23 lol😂😂👌
LoL!
Bravery doesn't come much bigger than this - WOW.
Skydiving Safety Association!? Number one Luke, wear a bloody chute mate!
"Redbull gives you wings."
Also Redbull :" Ye,,, i dont think we want to sponsor this one ."
Lmfao
Underrated stuff
You deserve more likes bruh😂😂
He's a fallen bull, don't belong in our church!
Evil Knievel: "No people want to see me die, but if I do they don't want to miss it".
Let's do it a million times to see one time death
Absolutely crazy stuff..phew!! 😮
He was honestly very close to being the world's highest "attempt" to jump into a net...amazing.
Yeap, close to that edge.
"Very close?" What about he IS the world's highest jump into a net? Did I miss something?
@@Birdylockso you misunderstood, he’s saying he almost missed the net
@@Tylerb4110 OK. got it. LOL
@@Birdylockso yes you missed something big dog
Him:
Me: breaking almost my neck atempting a flip on the trampoline
Lol gravity has different effect on each of us
Ok boommer
@Shadow haha your comment is gold.
ALMOST YOUR NECK???????????
Lol
Luke the fearless
if he wouldve missed, he still wouldve gone down in history as the ultimate darwin award winner.
Good point.
But with skills like his - he probably couldn't have missed even if he tried.
One of the reasons why women live longer than men
But not as brave? Oof, shame 😂
@@austincox3223 oof
We're here for good time not long time, you know.
Don't trigger feminists 😆
@@stilllearning3611 live fast, die hard man 🤘🏼
Rather live an exciting life and die tragically than living everyday in a chemical suit. Also want to die by a small IED to leave CSI one hasty ass crime scene 😂
I don't care what anyone says, this has got to be the most ballsy stunt ever performed.
deans0209 Alex hannold has entered the chat
Alex FN absolutely
This and freestyle rock climbing. Actually I think the latter is ballsier. Ur exposed to falling off for hours and hours on top of more things going wrong.
Have you seen the guy who jumped from space??
@@librendenil3825 Yeah, but he had a parachute
I fully respect those who need to do these things to feel alive, fair play. Myself, I am just so glad that the most risk I need to take for full pleasure and enjoyment of life is a comfy armchair and a good cigar.
The world needs more brave souls like him. Not.
“i only date boys who take risk”
Luke: hold my parachute
LMAO 😂😂
This is funny as shit and it actually makes sense 🤣🤣🤣
I see what you did there
so you do not use condoms?
I think that meme is overused. But it fits so perfectly here!
He simultaneously set the Guinness book of world records for the largest set of balls in the world
Must have been a really strong net to hold them…
@@GB-ue6wr 2x more durable than steel
How big were they
@@jeremysmith9694 Ask your mom
@@charlieharper8477 I did. She said they're bigger than yours.
If you can’t see the net you have the rest of your life to find it.
This is nothing compared to what I’ve done. Been married for 20 years.
r/facebookdads
You're braver than me.
Gotta up you on that, 33 come January. 37 if you count the first marriage, but I try to forget it. 😎 congratulations though.
Lol
*But at least he won* ..🤭
Fun Fact: If your parachute fails, you have rest of your life to figure it out
not always; ua-cam.com/video/dy5xLVx2NGY/v-deo.html
Less than 2 minutes
Ansh explain
@@isakduechle5611 but its either you die falling or you die after falling no matter what. so yes always!
@PaceccaMusic uhhhh.... yes she had the rest of her life to figure it out and she fortunately figured it out. intentionally or not
But the craziest part is how close he was to the edge of the net.
The new pilot wings game looks awesome!
