TITLE: Skydiving without a parachute or a wingsuit?
QUESTION [3 upvotes]: Recently I heard that a skydiver plummets 7600 meters onto a 30m$\times$30m net without a parachute or a wingsuit. I searched online and found a post, which said that a wingsuit is necessary. I have no idea about these technical terms and formulae. However, in this piece of news, no wingsuit but a net. I wonder how it's possible to

land in a 30m$\times$30m area (note the existence of wind),
survive under the terminal speed 55 m/s?

REPLY [2 votes]: If you watch the original Youtube video posted on July 30th, 2016 you would watch the entire 2 minute free-fall and the final landing in the net.  Unfortunately, early this morning (July 31st, PDT), the Youtube video is blocked with copyright infringement.  
However, there are other videos available if you search and I found one at:  Sky Diver video
The article associated with the link describes how this one done using guidance indicators and of course the skill of the sky diver.
