The stunt was originally planned for the Superbowl Halftime, but then someone remembered the Superbowl's being played indoors this year.

He'll die.
And global warming is a conspiracy created by democrats and black people to create jobs for libtards and atheists.
Any more sweet assertions to make before the day is out, sugar tits?

Robert L... according to Luke Aikins [the jumper] the screen actors guild ordered him to wear a parachute just before he was entering the plane, which almost made him kybosh the jump as he believed having the chute on his back would make the net landing more dangerous... but at the last minute they did lift the requirement. so unless people are lying, he did indeed jump with no chute.

The guy made it
... and announced that his next feat will be to "top out or send" the One-Half Dome in the Yosemite National Park without using the cables (if he can get a "parking" spot).
He is also preparing to skateboard off the crest of Mt. Everest somewhere over in the Orient.

Yeah, a bit uncomfortably close to the edge and jumped at double the altitude I thought he would, but the more air, the more time to compensate for a bad exit.

Not exactly a bulls-eye, but close enough for jazz, as they say...
The video whens he's on final approach is insane.
