Luke Atkins Drops 25,000 Feet Into Giant Net.
Okay, our focus is on the 50+ snow sport enthusiast, and this article is about a 42 year old skydiver. By now you’ve probably read about or watched Luke Aikins’ history-making 25,000 foot descent without parachute or wingsuit. He jumped and directed himself (using GPS technology) to a 10,000 square foot net suspended high enough above the ground to catch him safely. The stunt was dubbed “Heaven Sent,” but he could just as well have named it “Catch and Release.” Aikins, a third generation skydiver, has a lot of experience, reportedly more than 18,000 jumps. But this one is a doozey!
