Shown here - and ONLY here - for the first time online is the amazing video from the helmet camera of British skydiver Michael Holmes.


It shows him plummeting 12,000ft to earth after both his parachutes failed, saying goodbye to the world... and hitting the ground with a sickening thud at 80mph. Michael's friend, who jumped from the same plane, also filmed the whole event. He found his pal bleeding and unconscious - but alive.

Oh man, no thanks. I'll stick to the 1098.

Oh man, no thanks. I'll stick to the 1098.

So you're telling me you'd rather go 12,000ft @ 80mph horizontally than vertically correct? :poke :lol

Pick your poison.

[jamesmccain]

that alone is the sole reason why I dont skydive... seriously, with my luck of accidents... that is what would happen...

The odds of that happening are so slim. I have jumped so many times I have honestly lost track. Its a great activity that is plagued with its problems, sadly its mainly the people in the sport.

Glad to see he made it out.
