The 42-year-old husband and father has jumped out of planes many thousands of times. But never once had he left a plane without a parachute.

Aikins prepared for two years to make the jump. Three skydivers with parachutes made the jump with him. They video recorded the event and carried equipment Aikins needed, like an oxygen mask. He removed the mask after falling about 2100 meters.
