d. None of the above

ANSWER: None of the above
 
42-year old skydiver Luke Aikins who has made 18,000 jumps made history by becoming the first person to sky dive without a parachute and land in a net.
  • Following a two minute fretful, Luke landed dead centre in a 100X100 foot net at Simi Valley outskirts in a movie ranch.
  • The stunt, broadcast live on the Fox network for the TV special “Stride Gum Presents Heaven Sent,” nearly didn’t come off as planned when Mr. Aikins revealed just before climbing into his plane that the Screen Actors Guild had ordered him to wear a parachute to ensure his safety.

    Thank you for pointing this out, Anita! The correct answer to this question is "Luke Aikins", as mentioned in the explanation. However, option 'c' which looks like the correct answer says "Luke Atkins". Do you notice the small difference in the spellings of the last name? :)
