(CNN)A U.S. skydiver came back to earth in spectacular fashion Saturday night -- netting a world's first in the process.Luke Aikins plummeted from 25,000 feet above the desert landscape of California's Simi Valley without a parachute, landing squarely in a 100 feet x 100 feet, two-tiered net set up to catch him. He nailed the landing at 120 mph -- terminal velocity.

People will pay to watch this live all over the place, if it's allowed.

I think spectators might have a heart attack watching that dive live.

Now if he were to make the area of the net smaller, or jump into a huge box of kleenex...
