A story (and video) about the man who fell 12,000 ft... and survived.
It's the most gut-wrenching, mesmerising and shocking clip of video footage imaginable. Shot from the tiny camera in the helmet of champion skydiver Michael Holmes, it records with chilling clarity what happened when he plummeted 12,000ft to earth.
There is the moment when he tugs his ripcord and discovers his parachute won't open. There are the frantic efforts to release it, made as he spins so fast that movement is almost impossible.
The funniest (if there's any humor in falling 12,000 feet) moment is when his buddy finds him in the bushes and asks, "Are you okay?"
My man just dropped 12k, what the hell do you think!
