Without a Parachute
Wow - this is amazing.
I was scared to watch it - but don't worry it's not "gross" - just amazing that he survived and was talking to his buddy after the fall.

Shown here - and ONLY here - for the first time online is the amazing video from
the helmet camera of British skydiver Michael Holmes.
It shows him
plummeting 12,000ft to earth after both his parachutes failed, saying goodbye to
the world... and hitting the ground with a sickening thud at 80mph.
Michael's friend, who jumped from the same plane, also filmed the whole
event. He found his pal bleeding and unconscious - but alive.
