Not many people make it in one piece after their life hangs by an actual thread.
This incredibly fortunate skydiver experienced the worst possible thing that can happen while falling from the sky: a rare double parachute malfunction.
As Unofficial Networks notes alongside the video of the insane situation shared by ViralHog, this occurrence is feared, but to experience one and survive is basically one in a million.
Not only did this skydiver surrounded by angels of some kind survive, but he came out of the ordeal without any major injuries, apparently, which is even more unheard of.
It is reported that this skydive took place in Deland, Florida on November 15, 2021, and was a part of a skills camp organised by professional skydiving group, Fly4Life.
Without further ado:
The topsy-turvy effect of the fish-eye camera doesn’t help with the sickening feeling that rises after the first “OH SHIT” moment.
Fly4Life punts that they “promote safety and advanced body/canopy flying techniques while in a relax and fun environment”.
Here’s what that looks like when things go right:
That footage should calm your frightened heart after those initial few heart attacks had alongside the lucky skydiver.
Close call, buddy, close call.
