Why jump from 7.6km high without a parachute?

Newsday

Available for over a year

Skydiver Luke Aikins has made over 18,000 parachute jumps but this weekend he took an extra leap - and also created a new world record - by not using a parachute. On the ground, in the desert in California, his team were waiting for him with a net. He's been telling Newsday's Julian Keane why he did this.
