Whats the worst thing that can happen to you when jumping out of a plane? Both your main parachute and your emergency one both fail to open properly and you come falling down to earth, like an elephant falling out of a tree. But a lot faster and from a lot higher up (about 12,000? to be precise). Now the chap in question did survive and wasn?t too badly hurt, which is handy to know whilst watching the helmet-cam footage. Slight warning though, not gruesome as such, but he lands with one hell of a thud.

Pretty crazy...there's another video floating around from a skydivers helmet cam where he nearly gets clocked by a small single engine airplane while he's in freefall...Not safe for work ads on the page...http://www.flurl.com/featured/Close_call_13625.html

Whoa. I probably would have died of a heart attack. That's why I'm not very extreme
