******* hell just watched this entire video, actually felt sick as it went on. Amazing story, the way the video captures raw footage of the aftermath of the impact is intense. Guy ended up a Quadriplegic but to survive that... wow, amazing story of human survival.

Quote from Video Description:

At 2,500 feet, my jump partner flairs his canopy causing it slow down rapidly. I entangle with it and he cuts away. Unable to fly a ball of nylon effectively, I impact a cornfield breaking my pelvis, back and neck causing instant paralysis. As I lay waiting for help, spinal shock begins to set in paralyzing my diaphragm and breathing on my own becomes impossible. Rescue breathing is performed as I lose consciousness. Paramedics arrive and I'm med-flighted to UW Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin where I awake days later after surgery and begin life as a quadriplegic. It's taken me four and a half years to be able to watch this video.
Stupid Hurts.

You're thinking you're a mouse click, a drag and a piece of autotune away from being a pop star

Would have to be the most terrifying thing. I know what you meant when you felt sick. Actually feel weird now.

Seemed like he was trying to be a smart arse and hit the other guy. Obviously doesn't deserve that but wow..

The last bit where he is losing breath and when he originally hits the ground and is winded, actually makes me feel so so sick.
Brave man with how he dealt with in though, as well as the others organizing help.
The fact that he can watch it, and relive all those events is amazing in itself.
Trying to imagine the thoughts going through ones head when your parachute ends up like that...

Respect and learn from those before you, lead and encourage those after.

No, he flared his chute and that made him slow heaps you can see it, he just stops and the guy runs into the back of him.

Poor guy. This is hard to watch.

All skydivers are taught to give each other room when they release, and to keep a certian distance for obvious reasons. Dont think he purposely entangled himself.

Seems to me like he was just having too much fun, and watching his mate fly that little plane whilst sky diving and just got caught up in the moment and didn't think, now he has to pay for it for the rest of his life.
