Watch what happens when this man falls 7.6km out of an aeroplane without a parachute

What did you do this weekend? Chances are you didn’t jump out of an airplane at 25,000 feet without a parachute and survive.

42-year old  Luke Aikins didn’t have a wingsuit or brace either, reports CNET, he did however have GPS and lights.

“These were to guide him toward a large net that was prepared to cradle him before he struck the California desert.”

This makes Aikins the first person to sky-dive without any additional apparatus and a world-record holder.

“We did and cannot thank everyone enough for the support,” Mr. Aikins wrote on Facebook shortly after the jump. “My vision was always proper preparation and that if you train right you can make anything happen. Thank you!!!!”
