This is an intense 2 minutes of footage! After realizing his chest strap was undone in freefall, this skydiver sacrifices altitude and his life while trying to fix the problem.

I'm sure this is a mistake he'll NEVER make again, and hopefully this reminds us all to check our gear and the people around us.
