Fearless American skydiver to leap from 25,000 feet without a parachute
Fearless American skydiverLuke Aikins will leap out of a plane at 25,000 feet (7,600 meters) without a parachute and attempt to land safely in the California desert in a live television broadcast dubbed "Heaven Sent".
The married 42-year-old third-generation skydiver, who has made about 18,000 jumps in his 25-year career, will leap on July 30 and land on his back on a device which organizers would only describe as a "slide".
"I'm going to do something that's definitely out there and most people in the world will think is crazy," Aikins said.
Aikins, who claims it will be a world record for jumping without a parachute, previously worked with Felix Baumgartner on the Austrian daredevil's 2012 record skydive which started 24 miles (38km) above the earth.
