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. Luckily his AAD works as advertised, but something tells me this would've been fatal if he wasn't on his back for deployment. 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.

So you climb out of a small Cessna, hanging from the wing and strut as you set up in the door. You're just about to give the count... "ready, set...." and then the plane goes into a nosedive. WTF?! A little sketchy, but nothing quite beats this other terrifying plane stall.

How does a guy earn the moniker Sketchy Andy? Just watch this. You'll understand after the first jump, and then you'll nod your head in agreement for the remaining nine jumps. Sketchy Andy counts down his top ten sketchiest BASE jumps ever from the safety of his bedroom. From gapping poles, to not-quite jumping out, to forgetting to plan his landing, and getting smacked in the ass by his BASE slackline, Andy has done it all -- and got some exciting footage to share.

Wingsuits go boom, and not in a good way. Here's an example of just how quickly things can go wrong with that much wing pushing the wind. This wingsuit collision was caused by a head turn while looking down at his alti. Stay sharp and keep your eyes open whether you're on a wingsuit, parachute, or just flying around arms-n-legs style.

Matthew Gough had a miracle escape after having an off-heading opening with line twists and a near-fatal cliff strike that sends him falling 1,000 feet to the ground. Not very many people are lucky enough to run down the side of a cliff like a scene from The Matrix and survive with only minor injuries. I sure hope Matthew bought a lottery ticket the next day!

Sttttrike! A swooper takes out a "spectator" (for lack of a better term) at a respectable speed. Why wasn't she watching?? No one can see how awesome you are if they're not watching.

Freefly transition + premature deployment = shredded main canopy. Now he has two parachutes for the price of one. Even I'm still seeing stars from the opening, and I only watched the video 😉 All is well that ends well. Thanks to Joe Ridler for sharing his footage.

Talk about GROUND RUSH! I can't believe someone can hit the ground this hard and survive. My friend Liam Dunne of Deepseed is one lucky man. There are several factors that lead to this outcome, but the end result was a CYPRES save, intense ground rush, an 8 inch footprint in the ground, and surgery with 2 titanium rods and 4 screws holding his spine together. After almost a year of rehab, Liam will miraculously be jumping later this year. To read all the details about this incident, check out the Deepseed "Know Your Shit" blog post.

As if hucking a double gainer off a cliff wasn't enough excitement for one day, this lucky sonuvabitch (or unlucky, depending on how you look at it) has a bridle wrap and a cliff strike on the same jump... and lands without a scratch! Yah, I'm gonna stick with LUCKY!!
