The guy's supposed to jump out of the airplane sans parachute at 7 tonight on Fox in a program called Heaven Sent.

How's this going to work? Is he going to "tag up" with someone who is wearing a parachute? I seem to remember Travis Pastrana doing the same thing a couple years ago.

He's going to jump from 25,000 ft, with no parachute or wingsuit, and attempt to land in a safety net that's about 1/3 of a football field, held up by cranes. What could possibly go wrong?

Damn....I wonder how they figured out the precise location where he needs to jump out. There has to be some hidden safety measures in place or something. I'm guessing this will be sponsored by Red Bull, too.

From what I understand, there are no safety measures. As far as guidance, he's an expert sky diver and know how to use his body position to maneuver. I would suspect he will have some type of gps guidance system to guide himself. I think he's made several practice runs where he pulls a chute at 1,000 ft and is comfortable up to that point being on his line.

...100-sq ft (9.3-sq m) net in the Southern California desert. That seems REEEEEAAAALY small.

EDIT: that website was wrong. its actually 100ft x 100ft. Now I'm not impressed.

I don't see how this could be "real" ... it just sounds impossible.

He'll have a couple of guys WITH parachutes that go with him ... a photographer and another trailing smoke so observers can tell where they are.

I saw the title of the thread and thought it was probably another OM fantasy about their coach.
