  • 4 years ago
Luke Aikins, 42-year-old skydiver, created history as he achieved the feat of becoming the first person to leap without a parachute and land in a net instead. After a two-minute freefall, he landed dead center in the 100-by-100-foot net at the Big Sky movie ranch on the outskirts of Simi Valley. As cheers erupted, Aikins quickly climbed out, walked over and hugged his wife, Monica, who had been watching from the ground with their 4-year-old son, Logan, and other family members.
