Simply an unbelievable story about a how a man survived a fall from 2.2 miles above Lake Taupo in New Zealand, suffering only a punctured lung and a broken ankle. The entire event was recorded in chilling detail from the skydiver's tiny helmet cam.
Just 550ft above the ground, he waves goodbye to the world and screams a last message into the camera's microphone, resigned to a horrific death. Moments later comes the sound of the sickening impact - and then blackness.
Here is the video. This flat out left me speechless.
Everyone imagines how they would react in the face of death. Or had nightmares about free falling. But this guy's cool resolve under duress and the clarity with which he recalls his experience is absolutely riveting.
