Parachute saves skydivers' lives in the nick of time
This terrifying incident could have turned deadly in a matter of seconds.
As much as I’ve always wanted to skydive, there’s just something that tells me not to do it each and every time I consider giving it a go. I take my hat off to those who have done it or are thinking about doing it, but for me, it’s a firm no.

I came across this video where two skydivers experienced issues with their parachutes moments after leaping out of a plane.
With GoPro cameras attached to their helmets, you can see the majestic scenery below, but as they fall closer and closer to the ground, the two guys join hands knowing that there’s a problem. In the nick of time, an emergency automatic parachute opens, just a few hundred feet from the ground.
The landing was a bit rough, but at least there were no injuries. Phew!
