Skydiver survives hitting ground at 80mph | Banfield 

I can't believe that's she's considering sky diving again.......

@@badmonkey2222 I could almost see doing it one more time. I don't think I could do it two more times.

@@badmonkey2222 I totally understand and support her decision to jump again. The bottom line is human flight is so important to those of us who jump (and so special) that the small degree of risk of injury or death is not signifiant enough to dissuade us. I fractured my ankle on my second jump, but that only motivated me to rehab it quickly and I jumped again in only 3 weeks with a heavily taped up ankle when still didn't even have all the range of motion back.

She has a stronger mental Health than most to jump right back into what almost killed her. Such a strong woman!

Terminal velocity is more like 120mph.

No it's not, it's about half that....120.

@ yeah I just noticed the typo supposed to be a one instead of a two.

Good morning Clarkke, I haven't jumped since about 1969 at which time I had logged just over 3500 jumps (the really OLD days with round canopies @ 28-35 feet in diameter and eventually the Para-Commander) and I too think that a fall @ 80+ MPH into solid ground is NOT survivable. I completely agree with the estimate of 50-60 MPH which is still barely survivable. There had to have been at least a partial deployment of either main or reserve chutes. I experienced only 3 malfunctions in all those jumps with one involving a main- reserve entanglement (the hardest landing I ever had!) and managed to walk away with only fibular, rib and thumb fractures. I'm quite sure the rate of descent was no faster than 20-30+ MPH. Although it seemed MUCH faster. Either way, God bless this young lady. Actually, I think He already has! All the best to you and yours, Terry

She did hit the ground with no parachute. What are you even talking about?

@@luckypurplebananas In the interview she said the reserve parachute went out but twisted with the original and sent her into a spiral. So she still had some sort of resistance that is different than hitting with no parachute. Still absolutely amazing she survived.

it's not the fall that kills you, it's that sudden stop that does it.

I didn’t expect to laugh here but read this and started cracking up.

Bullshit

😅😅😅

Everybody gonna die

Love that

I still feel that to this day.

@@chillnaan2984 Rip?

She still had two open chutes. Her decent rate would of been slower than 80mph

Hush Rambo. ❤

@Johnny Rep retired that’s cool I only spent 3 years in discharged 11-Sep-09 😀

You don't think she is proud of her jumps? I would think she would be.

U dont but it would be less than 80mph. 2 chutes open slows u down a lot

Those are called wingsuits, and it is used to glide longer distances. But you still need a parachute to land.

This was my take exactly. Students should cut away if they don't have a good chute by 2500ft. We do not want to let the AAD deploy if we can keep from it.

You are right, life is short. Way too short but the point of life is to live it. Not to avoid life's adventures for a false feeling of safety. Go out and live while you are alive.

Different lady. That lady is 71 years old.

What kind of sadistic god only saves this person and not so many others in the same exact predicament. Wishful thinking

I disagree. My first few 2 jumps were not good. Neither was my 5th. But by keeping at it I got good at it.
