Dude jumps without a parachute...? And lands in a net?

Couldn't hurt for it to be a back up system in case of chute failure.

I assume that jumping chute-less into a net was just the first step, and the new trend will go from jumping down and onto a trampolin and then gaining altitude and re-board a hovering helicopter.

Okay, maybe better not a helicopter, just in case the upmove overshoots. Needs to be a plane, too, apparently.

Maybe SAM warning devices on military jets can be tuned to warn against upcoming parachuters, too.

Now you know why they clear the DZ of all personnel before making heavy equipment drops.
