Skydiver becomes first to land without parachute video

A 42yearold US skydiver with more than 18, 000 jumps makes history on Saturday when he becomes the first person to leap without a parachute and land in a net instead. After a twominute freefall, Luke Aikins landed dead centre in the 100by100foot (3030 metre) 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 fouryearold son Subscribe to Guardian Wire
