    Stride Gum Presents Heaven Sent
    Luke Aikins, the first person to accomplish a planned jump out of an airplane without a parachute or wing suit from a very high altitude (25,000 feet) (7,620 meters). Aikins eventually lands in a net.

    "Jumpers are away. Now he's practicing the flip. That's how he'll have to land. He'll have to land on his back. At 18,000 feet the oxygen mask will come off. There goes the oxygen mask. Now at 12,000 feet he'll hear a beep in his helmet that will tell him he's halfway home."

    The daring stunt is now in The Guinness Book Of World Records as the first complete planned jump from an airplane without a parachute: Luke Aikins.

    Further to his credit, Aikins is a safety and training adviser for the United States Parachute Association (USPA), where he provides advanced skydiving training to elite military special forces.

    Early in the broadcast of "Heaven Sent," there was almost a change in the script that might have taken away a tad of the excitement around Aikins' jump.


    "Everyone is calling this my 'coming-out jump,' which is ironic considering I've been skydiving since the age of 16," he said in a press release prior to the jump.

    In fact, Aikins, whose grandfather co-founded a skydiving school after serving in World War II, is a third-generation skydiver. The family owns Skydive Kapowsin near Tacoma, Wash.
