  • Guy breaks neck...mid air!



    The only reason I'm posting this is because I wonder if it can be true. There's no real intelligent comments on the site.

    Very possible, even probable, in a collision between two skydivers.

    Surviving the fall? That's been done many times. I think the records are by a Russian fighter pilot who punched out at over 38,000 feet and a stewardess that was blown out of a fragmenting plane slightly lower.

      Yup, hard to believe but true, people do survive falling from airplanes.

      Not OFTEN, mind you.

      But it happens. I remember reading some tips somewhere for how to slow your descent and maximize your chances...

      I'm the least you could do, oh yeah

      I would still get screwed

        Except that there was no collision (that I could see) at the point where it appear to happen. It would appear to be wind pressure alone. And he floated down to the ground on an open parachute.

          I disagree - to me it looked like a collision at 00:31 and he got entangled with the other jumper. The whiplash from such a collision can be very bad.

            I'll agree it goes wrong at 00:31, but I can't tell that they are particularly close at that point.
