Nearby, a pair of huge cranes defines the boundaries where the net in which Aikins expects to land is being erected. It will be about one-third the size of a football field and 20 stories high, providing enough space to cushion his fall, he says, without allowing him to bounce out of it. The landing target, which has been described as similar to a fishing trawler net, has been tested repeatedly using dummies.
One of those 200-pound (91-kilogram) dummies didn't bounce out. It crashed right through.

I hope he hits the net; we don't need a new deep web video.
It will be cool and awesome if he lands in the net; it will be sad and gross if he doesn't.
I will be watching, neat find. Thanks
