Stupid DOES hurt (a little too much in this case). Videographer Tim gets too close to "Origami Flying Mofo" and a nasty canopy wrap ensues. Origami Mofo cuts away, but Tim's not done yet -- his lines entangle the reserve, which turns into a blue ball of nylon. Tim impacts a cornfield, breaking his pelvis, back and neck which causes instant paralysis. Spinal shock sets in and rescue breathing is performed as he loses consciousness. Paramedics airlift him to the hospital where he wakes days later after surgery and begins life as a quadriplegic. You can watch a post-accident interview with Tim here.

Jumping off a bridge, getting whipped into line twists on opening, then squeezing a parachute through rappel lines and landing on railroad tracks isn't really my thing. BUT, it certainly makes for an entertaining Bridge Day video. Glad the star of this show landed safely with an awesome story to tell.

A bridle wrapped around a student's foot certainly isn't an ideal deployment, but it beats having the bridle wrapped around the neck like this other AFF student.

Nothing makes you shit the proverbial bed than when you're an AFF student running out of altitude and you deploy your parachute while spinning on your back / head down. Great job by the student on getting his parachute out despite the situation. As they say: never sacrifice altitude for stability.

This isn't quite the spin cycle of death from an inflatable turtle, but if this was my very first tandem skydive, I'm pretty sure I would: 1) think I'm going to die, 2) puke, and 3) be amazed I'm still alive, but still think I'm gonna die.

Private jets are cool, unless they're flying through the same air space while you're filming a tandem skydive. Not cool.

You know a premature opening is too close for comfort when the canopy hits you in the face while it's opening. This is the type of stuff that can happen when you funnel a 12-way belly jump. Lesson learned... stick to freeflying (kidding, kidding).

If the goal of this AFF jump was to panic and not arch at all, then I consider it a huge success!

ILS co-founder Rick Winkler thought he'd have fun on a routine jump with some inflatable toys. Little did he know the inflatable would wrap around his leg, put him into a spin cycle of death, and burst all the capillaries in both of his eyes. True story. Stick around until the very end for a nice visual of the aftermath...
