Skydive from 25,000 feet without a parachute.

A record skydive.
25,000 feet, no parachute, landing in a 100'x100' net.

Crazy.

18000 Jumps, at one a day, that would take nigh on 50 years.

Just watched it very brave, absolutely crazy,but very brave

He was lucky to hit to target ...not in he middle as newspapers suggest but in the bottom right hand corner...very lucky !!!

Re: Skydive from 25,000 feet without a parachute.

From 25,000 feet that net would not be visible, the target in the centre would appear to be about a cm square.

I'd say it was excellent flying and accuracy.

I agree that he appeared to be close to the edge, but luck doesn't play a major part in this.

Quite agree....with a great deal of luck thrown in

Re: Skydive from 25,000 feet without a parachute.

Sorry, edited my pist before seeing this.

The weather conditions were perfect, no crosswinds, very few thermals to contend with.
Luck will have played a very, very small part in this stunt.

Watched the vid, that is really scary.

Re: Skydive from 25,000 feet without a parachute.

There is a very fine line to be drawn between bravery and foolishness (I was going to say stupidity but changed my mind)

Re: Skydive from 25,000 feet without a parachute.

Madness I can't see the point in doing those sort of stunts...
