Daredevil to attempt jumping out of a plane without a 'chute

From 25,000 feet.
Eff that.

Nearby, a pair of huge cranes defines the boundaries where the net in which Aikins expects to land is being erected. It will be about one-third the size of a football field and 20 stories high, providing enough space to cushion his fall, he says, without allowing him to bounce out of it.

The landing target, which has been described as similar to a fishing trawler net, has been tested repeatedly using dummies.

One of those 200-pound (91-kilogram) dummies didn't bounce out. It crashed right through.
Eff that.

Sounds like a dummy has already done it.

Why jump out of a plane without a parachute when you can just not do it instead?

After this guy does this, will it become the next extreme sport?

This is not a stunt. It's the logical third option to Trump and Hillary.

Why doesn't he just wear a parachute and not use it?

That's what I'm saying. You might get some people who go "ooh" and "ahh" but what's the point? Just so you can say you jumped out a plane and landed on a net as opposed to landing with a parachute? If he fails, then he has one of the most lols worthy deaths ever, no one is gonna go "Oh wow what a hero, he truly pioneered sports by jumping without a chute".

No kidding. I mean what if midway through he figures out there was a miscalculation or the wind changed on him or something.

Being a little liberal with that word aren't we? I mean the dude is literally just falling.

That's been done to death.

I'll be watching. Hope it won't be tape delayed.

Fox has had little to say about the stunt other than it will be broadcast on a tape delay, as is the case with all its live broadcasts, says network spokesman Les Eisner. It contains a warning not to try this at home.

I don't think our hero here is the type to crunch numbers in his head.

He finally got his own show now he thinks he can just go about jumping out of planes.
