Recently a terrifying video shows the
moment a novice skydiver got tangled in her parachute and fell through the air
to her near-death during a jump gone wrong.
Carol Murray Rodriguez, 44, suffered
life-changing injuries, including a fracture which saw her thigh bone rip
through her skin, and said she continues to suffer the consequences of the
horror jump 20 years on.
The PR professional said the footage of
her 24-year-old self becoming tangled up in her parachute in mid-air in
September 1997 still gives her chills.
After taking four hours of what she calls
'bogus lessons', Carol was allowed to jump from the aircraft on her own -
without an experienced skydiver.
The nightmare footage, captured on the
ground using her camcorder, shows the amateur diver jumping out of the aircraft
moments before her parachute is pulled in the wrong direction by the wind.
Carol is seen panicking as she becomes
tangled in the parachute and attempts to activate the reserve – which failed to
open as she tumbled towards the ground.
She said: 'In that moment I just thought
to myself "Oh f**k, God I'm going to die"
