Man goes skydiving and has both chutes fail. Freefalls the whole way and survives. Pretty cool vid. I like the way he just says 'bye!' before he hits the ground.

I'm surpised how quick the guy with the working parachute landed after the guy without the parachute.

That would have to be a tough time knowing that you are going to die within a minute or so. Although he obviously didn't die which is amazing.

lucky he landed in those bushes instead of on the sand or water. the chute plus the bushes slowed and cushioned the hit enough so that he would survive. lucky bugger.

Sloan Carafello of Schenectady, who was observing on the flight, followed an instructor, student and videographer out the door, wearing no skydiving gear, officials said.

ahhahaha what?

ahhahaha what?



Sloan Carafello of Schenectady was described as an observer on the small plane. Witnesses say he leaped out behind three parachuters.

An autopsy on Sunday found that the cause of death was massive trauma, and state police investigator Mario DiCristofaro says the death was ruled a suicide.

Carafello's co-workers tell the Times Union of Albany that he asked them frequently in recent months, "If you had to die, would you rather jump off a building or jump out of a plane without a parachute?"

Scary s***, especially since I've experienced a fall myself - obviously nothing that compares to that, but the waking up / being resuscitated on the ground is so scary
