Luke Aikins, 42, a veteran of 18,000 jumps, completed the stunt without mishap, landing almost in the middle of the 100ft by 100ft net.

...

I estimate he landed 25 feet from the edge.

I bet his wife was relieved. He probably can’t get life insurance.

Not much margin for error.

I'd say your 25 foot guess is right -- maybe less. He rolled over on his back at the last second.
