Have you ever had a cliff strike while BASE jumping, then flared out of full brakes straight into jagged rocks, and amazingly landed safely without a scratch? I didn't think so. Not many people have. Then again, not many BASE jumpers plan on hucking a half gainer/side roll with a half twist pitch like this guy. He's one lucky dude!

In the words of Tommy Ferguson, "Awww, crap! That sucks." I'm not sure WTF this truck/trailer was doing parked on the landing area, but target fixation got the best of Tommy on a downwind landing and he managed to hit the one object in an open desert that could -- and did -- mess him up really badly. You have to watch out for those trailers... they'll come out of nowhere! All jokes aside, every skydiver makes mistakes. But unfortunately for Tommy, he wasn't able to escape this mistake without a life-changing injury; his arm was amputated between the shoulder and elbow due to nerve damage.

Swooping is fun... until you get clotheslined by a wire fence! Yet another way to add instant brakes while swooping. This reminds me of a fighter jet snagging the tailhook when landing on an aircraft carrier, minus the cool fighter jet and smooth landing.

At some point I'm sure we've all had to twist someone's arm - figuratively speaking - to get on a load. But this poor skydiver literally has his arm twisted out of the socket in freefall which apparently makes dumping your main extremely difficult, if not impossible. Opening and landing a parachute with a dislocated arm can't be much fun at all, but it's nothing beer can't fix for a crazy "first" like this.

Want to learn how to swoop the pond? Dont do this and youre half way there.

He'll be practicing ground launching until the cows come home. Literally.

An epic paragliding fail by French stuntman Terry Do, who got his wing caught on the Statue of Liberty's torch. Nice try Terry. You get an "E" for effort. Here's another epic paragliding fail for your viewing pleasure.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is famous for one reason and one reason only: he sounds awesome when he screams. And this crazy Ruskie is no different. He thinks he's Schwarzenegger in a scene from Total Recall, but really has no idea how close he came to death.

Although this AFF instructor-in-training seems a little nervous, there's no reason he should've dumped this low. Line twists below 2,000 feet are a pain in the ass, but then chopping that low and having to deal with more line twists on your reserve really sucks! On the bright side, at least his main wasn't too far away. Click here to check out more all-stars in the dirty low pull department.
