On July 30, 2016, Aikins jumped from an aircraft without any parachute or wingsuit at an altitude of 25,000 feet (7,620 m) above Simi Valley, California, watched by a live audience. After about two minutes of free fall he successfully landed in a 100-by-100-foot (30 by 30 m) net. Ivan Chisov: 23,000 7,000 [1] 1942
The data is in good agreement with the predicted fall time of /, where h is the height and g is the free-fall acceleration due to gravity. Near the surface of the Earth, an object in free fall in a vacuum will accelerate at approximately 9.8 m/s 2, independent of its mass.

Luke Aikins (born November 21, 1973) [1] is an American professional skydiver, BASE jumper, pilot, and aerial photographer.He is the first person to intentionally dive from mid-tropospheric altitude and land safely without a parachute or a wingsuit and the second skydiver to intentionally jump and safely land without using a parachute.
In practice, musicians often extend the basic chords shown here, especially to 7ths, 9ths, and 13ths, as seen in this example: iim 9 V ♯ 9 ♭ 13 I maj9. In jazz, the ii is typically played as a minor 7th chord, and the I is typically played as a major 7th chord (though it can also be played as a major 6th chord).
The song uses the basic "pop song" 4-chord progression (I IV V vi). In the key of G (which is how I always play it) the root is G, the 4th chord C, the 5th is D, and the relative minor is Em. The idea behind the "minor fall" is a drop into the relative minor key (Em for G) and the major lift is a return to the major key (in this case G).
According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, "Fallin '" is set in 12/8 time with a "free" tempo of 60 beats per minute. [5] It is composed in the key of E minor , with Keys's vocal range spanning from the low-note of B 3 to the high-note of E 5 . [ 5 ]
