Luke Aikins (born November 21, 1973)[4] is an American professional skydiver, BASE jumper, pilot, and aerial photographer. He is the first person to intentionally dive from mid-tropospheric altitude and land safely without a parachute or a wingsuit and the second skydiver to intentionally and safely land without using a parachute.[5][6][7]{{refn|group=nb|The first skydiver to jump and land without using a parachute was Gary Connery in 2012 who wore a wingsuit to aid his landing.[8]}}

Biography

Aikins has coached United States Navy SEALs and NASCAR's Brian Vickers, and has advised the military on skydiving techniques.[9][11] He is also a safety and training advisor for the United States Parachute Association.[10][11] He is also an aerial photographer and his photos have been published in major magazines and newspapers.[4] He has completed more than 18,000 jumps since he started skydiving at age 12.[12]

In 2012, he helped skydiver Felix Baumgartner jump from a helium balloon in the stratosphere at {{Convert|120,000|ft|0}}.[13][14] Aikins also worked on stunts in the film Iron Man 3.[15]

| video2 =Local news interview [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzVtHzLcSEI Luke Aikins 25,000-Foot Freefall][16]
}}

On July 30, 2016, Aikins jumped from an aircraft without any parachute or wingsuit at an altitude of {{Convert|25,000|ft|0}} above Simi Valley, California, watched by a live audience. After about two minutes of free fall he successfully landed in a {{Convert|100|by|100|ft|adj=on}} net just outside of Simi Valley, California.[17][5] Aikins reached a terminal velocity of {{convert|120|mph|0}} during the fall.[15] The net was made from Spectra, a high-density polyethylene cord.[18] It had four compressed air cylinders designed to gently slow him down after impact.[18]

Although several news articles headlines describe Aikins achievement by focusing on the fact that he jumped and went to freefall without parachute, many others have jumped from aircraft without having a parachute when they departed the plane - they were either handed a parachute by a fellow jumper while in freefall or maneuvered to a container carrying a parachute, with first successes dating back to 1965.[19] Others have jumped out of an aircraft and returned to the same or another aircraft without making use of parachute.[20][21]
