Woman Falls as Parachute and Backup Fail in Skydive and 😯 Survives
A woman in Canada has miraculously survived after plummeting more than 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) during a skydiving accident. The 30-year-old, who has not been named, fell into a wooded area after her main and backup parachutes failed to fully open in Trois-Rivières, Quebec, on August 10.
According to Radio Canada, the woman crashed into trees at a speed of at least 60 kilometers per hour (37 miles per hour). She escaped with non life-threatening injuries and is currently in hospital after suffering several fractures including broken vertebrae.
"It's a miracle," Denis Demers, who witnessed the woman drop from the sky, told Radio-Canada/CBC. "I don't know how a person can survive a fall from an airplane like that."
The woman was taking part in a jump at the Parachutisme Adrénaline facility. Trois-Rivières police are investigating the incident to determine if there was any criminal negligence.
Parachutisme Adrénaline did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Police said the woman had previous skydiving experience.
