Skydiver Survives 5000ft Fall, No Parachute

New Zealand skydiver Michael Holmes survived a 5000ft fall after his chute failed to open. The fall was caught on his helmet cam and a secondary cam on his dive partner. The lucky guy landed in a thicket of berry bushes with only a broken ankle and a punctured lung and was out of the hospital in 11 days. I think he used up several, if not all, of his 9 lives.

I was watching that on the news. I lost a life watching it! That was absolutely insane! He was even saying goodbye as he was dropping. Dude was ready for the afterlife.
