When Luke Aikins steps out of a Cessna Grand Caravan airplane on July 30, high above Simi Valley, California, he will fall 25,000 feet to the ground—without a parachute. He’ll be aiming for a 10,000-square-foot, high-tech net specifically designed to cushion Aikins’ 120 mph fall. If he survives, he’ll become the first person to land a skydive sans chute, shatter the record for the highest freefall descent, and set a new benchmark for what can be achieved when curiosity meets engineering ingenuity.

The comments were that the force of the ' net meets man ' coming to - gether ( apparently , crash isn't politically correct here ) would equal a race car connecting w/ a wall.
Bon chance , mon ami Bon chance !
The weather broke o/vcast and gray. We are still warm in the main but a little cooler for 2 days.
