Freaky, CSI just had an episode where a sky diver camera man's chute failed to deployed, and the video recorded his entire fall

Actually, a couple years ago, a real life sky diver did the exact same thing, managed to say "bye" before he hit the ground

I remember this story of a French couple that survived a 10,000 ft fall with half a parachute:

A couple taking part in a tandem parachute jump while on their honeymoon had a miraculous escape after plunging 10,000ft.

If at first you try but don't succeed, sky diving was not for you
