Man jumps out of airplane without a parachute!
Updated | By Breakfast with Martin Bester
He is the first person to jump out of an airplane without a parachute - and survive!
Luke Aikins is an American professional skydiver, BASE jumper, pilot, and aerial photographer.
In 2016, he attempted what no one else has - skydiving without a parachute.
The question on everyone’s lips is, of course, how did he land? Aikins eventually landed in a net. The daring stunt is now in The Guinness Book Of World Records as the first complete planned jump from an airplane without a parachute.

We were yet again reminded of the extremely daring stunt this week - and we had to share it. The stunt is named ‘Heaven Sent’. It is officially the highest skydive without a parachute ever.

During the fall, the 42-year-old had only his body and a GPS unit which directed his movements towards the net.
