You know your swoop has gone wrong when you bounce. Or if you see a cloud of dirt on impact. Or break your pelvis. Yeah, none of that is good.

When you're dealing with a spinning malfunction in your wingsuit, the last thing you want (or expect) is a step-through on your reserve once you cutaway. But, hey, there's a first time for everything. He also probably could've done without the backflip through the risers to try and clear the step-through. At least his rigger owes him beer instead of the other way around -- another first!

Phew, that was close... he almost hit that big open field in front of the hangar (or bonus points if he landed on the trampoline).

As the saying goes, timing is everything... especially in BASE when your life depends on it. I'm sure this wasn't his best exit; in fact, it was probably the most terrifying exit of his life. But he lived to tell the story. Don't do this, live and learn, and stay alive.

Just another day at this office for this tandem instructor, when all of a sudden, out of the blue....... wait for it... wait for... BOOM... shoe-to-the-face! Not only that, but then the student catches the shoe!!! Ha, what're the odds??

ROFLMAO! This guy was born to skydive. One of the funniest tandem skydive reactions and Friday Freakouts I've seen in a long time. Go ahead, laugh out loud... you know you want to (if you haven't already). It's all in good fun.

Whoa, cool! This is the first time in history that a meteorite has been filmed in the air after its light goes out... its certainly much less likely than winning the lottery three times in a row, says geologist Hans Amundsen. When a meteoroid enters the Earths atmosphere, it slows down and ionizes molecules around it; it is this blazing track across the sky that is called a meteor. When the light disappears, the meteorite enters the stage called "dark flight"; it then no longer travels at an angle, but falls straight down. This is the first time in history that a meteorite has been filmed during dark flight... no less while skydiving!

When kamikaze skydivers join a tracking jump, people (almost) die! Luckily this didn't end in fatality, but it really doesn't get much closer than this. Read more about tracking incidents here, and please stay safe out there.
