Or was Luke Aikins as mad as a box of frogs ?

I really can't decide whether to admire this 25,000 foot freefall 'dive' into a net.....Or shake my head in disbelief.  
I guess he'd done every conceivable test and worked out his chance of success. But................
Your opinions, team ?

Nutcase - he didn't even hit the middle of that net.

Once you work out how big and how high the net needs to be to stop someone at terminal velocity (hopefully with a nice, big, safety margin), he was always going to be safe!

As long as he didn't miss the net that is Will . Mad as cheese IMHO.

Completely nuts, but then he's a foreigner.

If he missed the net he wouldn't need a funeral as he'd be 6 feet under already.

 

Who is Luke Aikins?

Very clever, but absolutely Bonkers, but he is American so I suppose that explains it

Thanks Jim.

I'd missed that one.

REAL men don't use nets.

He didn't, the net I mean.

Is he related to Cupid Stunt?
