Skydiver Survives Terrible Accident When Parachute Doesn't Open, Then Climbs Everest One Year Later

[@JitterBob]

What a good story! I love to hear about people who push through hard times like this. The positive attitude made all the difference!

Such courage to jump, yet life is to precious to risk in such a manner.

There's literally no feeling like it in the world. My first time jumping I immediately went back up and did it again.

You're amazing!

I don't understand how you can survive a fall like that. I'm glad she did, but it just doesn't make sense. Ahe didn't even lose consciousness?? How?

what happened with the backup chute?

[@catherinebruner6435]

Most likely she waited until last minute to pull the main parachute and then after it got caught up she may have panicked and once you get down to 1500 ft the AD is automatically going to deploy so you can't pull the reserve shoot. It's important to keep in mind that you are falling out of rate of 200 ft per second at 125 mph so there isn't a lot of time to recover if you start to panic when something goes wrong. It's also very possible that she did a lower altitude jump which leaves even less time.

She said that the backup chute deployed. But the main came out too and both started her spinning. She sounds amazing though how she carried on and the support received. It's an uplifting story.

I hope this taught her a lesson. Second chance on life…hope she doesn’t keep doing reckless, risky, dumb stuff.

No thanx let the birds fly.
