There's a pic in the article. Nasty looking bite. Looks like it goes to the bone.

There's a good reason people don't throw themselves out of airplanes without parachutes or wingsuits, and that's because it rarely ends well. Skydiver Luke Aikins will be hoping that tomorrow is one of the rare occasions where that's not the case, as he jumps 'chute- and 'suit-less from 25,000 ft (7,620 m).
The stunt, which is going by the name of "Heaven Sent," is said to be a first-of-its-kind. It will be the pinnacle of a 26-year career for the 42-year-old Aikins and will set a world record for the highest jump without a parachute or wingsuit.
"Everyone is calling this my 'coming-out jump', which is ironic considering I've been skydiving since the age of 16," says Aikins in a press release. "But nothing even comes remotely close to this. I expect Heaven Sent to change me, skydiving and the future of live spectacles forever."
Constructing a huge net between cranes.That might be the craziest stunt I've ever heard of. Free fall is around 120mph. How does he plan on slowing down? Even if he slows to 80 mph somehow, and lands in water, he'll break a bunch of bones and probably drown.
That's cool, I'll have to check out the rest of his work.I just learned of the artwork of Simon Stalenhag. I'm a fan.
Here's his website/gallery.
Here's a neat piece.

At work in Saugatuck, Mich., on the morning of July 26, Herweyer was helping to clean a 12-foot-tall plastic tank of molasses. When the level of the syrup got too low to pump out of the container, Herweyer climbed into the tank to adjust the valve, according to his boss.

Buying and selling? Didn't he watch Breaking Bad?? You don't want anything to do with marketing in the meth industry. Too dangerous. Production is where it's at!huKSer said:But one man in Georgia has gone down a unique path that involved neither squandering on toys or success in the stock market. Instead, Ronnie Music Jr. took his $3 million dollar check from the Georgia Lottery and decided to invest in methamphetamine, federal prosecutors say. In terms of an investment, the New York Times called his business “thriving,” but after being caught with over $1 million worth of guns, drugs, and vehicles, Mr. Music is now facing amused contempt and jail time from justice department.
