"Whenever people attempt to push the limits of what's considered humanly possible, they're invariably described as crazy," Aikins was quoted as saying by The Mirror. "But to me, this jump is simply the next logical step in a lifetime of extreme challenges."But Aikins almost didn't get his chance to complete the jump as he wanted to. Before the jump, Aikins was told by the Screen Actors Guild that he would have to wear a parachute, even though he did not intend to use it - something Aikins said would only make the jump more dangerous.
"I'm going all the way to the net, no question about it," he said while in the plane. "I'll just have to deal with the consequences when I land of wearing the parachute on my back and what it's going to do to my body."In the end, the requirement was lifted and Aikins made history.
