Caught On Video: Skydiver Suffers Seizure During Jump Before Instructor Pulls Ripcord, Saving Him
SAN BRUNO (CBS SF) -- A skydiver posted video of himself having a seizure during a jump that quickly racked up views on YouTube.
The diver posted the video on San Bruno-based YouTube under the username Nomadic Adrenaline showing what he describes as "possibly the scariest moment of my life."
The footage was captured on a Go-Pro-style helmet mounted camera, showing the moment the man jumped out of the plane thousands of feet above the ground.
Shortly after jumping, the man suffers a seizure "while attempting a left hand turn." Seeing that something was wrong as the man spent thirty seconds unconscious and freefalling, the jumpmaster managed to slip through the air and pull the man's ripcord.
