Luke Aikins, skydiver: «My whole life is devoted to aviation, parachuting, I have a lot of them and it seems to me, is the next step for me - without a parachute jump. I want to prove that it is possible, if done correctly».
Thus was born the idea of a trick, "The Messenger of heaven" - no parachute and wingsuit, only the hatch, and below, on the ground, is the size of the grid with a third of a football field, which is to catch him and keep from hitting the ground.
The most difficult thing - to calculate the exact place to jump, because the air streams are different at different altitudes, they will demolish Luke and manage a fall without a parachute, he can only own body. In the air, it will be one on one with gravity and speed.
For Luke Aikins this jump is the fourth world record. However, in this discipline - free fall from 7 kilometers into the net - the other competitors had yet. And they are unlikely to appear in the near future. His main advice the others, please do not try it again.
