Luke Aikins who previously had done 18,000 jumps and had featured in stunts in Ironman 3 made the record breaking jump as his wife, Monica and son, Logan watched.
The jump lasted about 2 minutes. Luke Aikins was accompanied on the jump by three skydivers who deployed their parachutes.
For the first 10,000 feet, Luke Aikins used an oxygen mask. One of the skydivers who accompanied him had the duty to collect the discarded oxygen mask, another acted as a cameraman who took photos of the jump while a third trailed smoke so people on the ground could see him descending.
An elated Luke hugged and embraced his wife and son after the jump.
Regarding the terrifying jump, Luke wrote on his Facebook page,
"My vision was always proper preparation and that if you train right you can make anything happen".
