Luke Aikins how did he fall without a parachute?

Have you all heard of Luke Aikins? The free parachuting or Skydiving at some point stops one way or another. The ideal, of course, is to stop with the opening of the parachute. But what happens when there is no parachute?

Last Saturday, Mr. Luke Aikins dropped from 25.000 feet with a camera, a GPS, a communication device, and an oxygen mask on him, which he handed over to a skydiver friend at about 18.000 feet. By he completely lacked a parachute or even a wingsuit. Still managed to land with a few minutes later.Luke Aikins

Η πτώση φυσικά ήταν καταπληκτική. Μεταδόθηκε από την τηλεόραση ("live", με one hour).

However, Luke Aikins's fall was not accidental. He was highly skilled and needed two years of preparation and training before he dared.

"Όπως κάθε φυσιολογικό, υγιές άτομο, είπα: "Σας ευχαριστώ, αλλά όχι. Έχω μια σύζυγο και έναν γιο, και έχω μια ζωή να ζήσω," είπε στο περιοδικό People για τότε που του έγινε η πρόταση.

"Στη συνέχεια, δύο εβδομάδες ξυπνούσα στη μέση της νύχτας με την σκέψη: "Μου είπαν πως έπρεπε να το κάνω, πώς θα μπορούσε να γίνει;"

Really how did he do it? Luke Aikins used a GPS and four lights on the net that pushed him to the landing. The net was specifically designed to slow down its fall.

According to National Geographic:

"Το ίδιο το δικτύωμα είναι κατασκευασμένο από Spectra, ένα κορδόνι από πολυαιθυλένιο υψηλής πυκνότητας το οποίο είναι δύο φορές πιο ισχυρό από τον χάλυβα, αλλά επίσης και εντελώς ανελαστικό. Μόλις ο Aikins έπεσε "κατακόρυφα, τέσσερις κύλινδροι πεπιεσμένου αέρα, που συνδέονταν με το δίχτυ με σχοινιά και τροχαλίες, άρχισαν να τον επιβραδύνουν με τον ίδιο τρόπο που πιάνουμε ένα αυγό που πέφτει στο χέρι μας."

Of course other precautions were taken into account for one fall. For oxygen levels, an oxygen mask that Aikins used for the first part of the fall.

42 time Aikins is also a professional skydiver, which means he knows how to fall. According to Popular Mechanics, the way the paratroopers use their hands, legs and chest, is another way to slow down cathode by adding friction. It also helps them to maneuver in the fall, and Aikins stopped accelerating after a certain point.
