Us Skydiving in Las Vegas with Extreme Skydiving

This is more exciting than your day job for sure.

Miracle Mike: after deploying his main parachute, his reserve deployed accidentally. (He was jumping a Dolphin container). He made several jumps on this container that day, but did not notice the RSL   more...lanyard routing problem that developed from mishandling the container. His man risers pulled the RSL lanyard out and dumped his reserve into his main. He then compounded issues by cutting away his main. He spun around without control of either parachute from 4000 feet or so while a couple of hundred people watched. He disappeared behind the tree line. I was one of the first persons on the scene. Expecting to see a badly broken and mangled body, Mike was laying flat on his back in thick mud. He was unscathed. He returned from the hospital a few hours later with nothing but a single scratch on his neck. whew! after careful inspection of the video you can see that the main has at least 4 cells inflated. The reserve is creating drag as well to slow him down to a survivable speed. In addition, landing in soft thick mud and bushes broke his fall. Had his main actually managed to clear after cutting away, and or if he landed on concrete, Miracle Mike might be called 'Mop-up Mike' instead.  less

Skydiving or parachuting from an aircraft consists of the free-fall and the paracute ride. Skydiving was developed by the military and now has become competitive sport using high-speed ram air canopies.   more...The skydiver freefalls at terminal velocity until the parachute is opened and landed safely. Aerial maneuvers such as turns, loops, dives and lift are possible in what is known also as Freeflight. Skydiving fatalities are rare, but each year world-wide a number of people are hurt and killed resulting from human error or equipment malfunctions.

Shocking footage of a skydiver spiraling out of control.

Oldie, but still amazing.

1st freefall...and it could be his last. 1st he looses his chute. Then he hits powerlines. Awesome.

You know how you always wanted to get your mom to fire up the car and tow you around town on your skateboard? Yeah, this guy inadvertently goes there... except with a plane.

It's a bird... it's a plane... it's a burning man in the sky!
