This happened a few days ago!
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.

Exxxtreme good quality (Shocking)

Re: British Skydiver Michael Holmes
I was wondering if this video would turn up. It's one of those things you sort of really don't want to see, but at the same time you really really do!

Really? No I haven't really watched much TV lately due to work so I must've missed it! Ah well, i'll have to check this out when i get home as they probably would've stopped playing it by tonight!
