I ran across this news article a couple days ago, and am still amazed by it...
A skydiver went to jump from 15,000 ft. and had his parachute(s) fail to deploy...
Thats a full minute and a half of hang time looking at the ground..
I wonder what was going through his head, and I'm sure you are wondering why I'm putting something so morbid up...
The man managed to survive, with somewhat minimal injuries, all because he landed in a thorn bush. (granted falling into a torn bush going god knows how fast must not have been pleasent)
On top of that if he had landed 5ft to the left or right he would have landed on a nice soft tree stump, or better yet a parking lot.
I wonder how long it will be before he decides to jump again.
