Skydiver falls 1066m with broken parachute

 

A skydiver on a charity jump survived a one kilometre plunge with just a broken ankle after her two parachutes failed to open.

 

Zoe Sievwright, from Dundee in Scotland, was in trouble soon after leaping from the plane, when her first chute failed to open.

 

Her second chute then became tangled and she ended up corkscrewing towards the ground.

 

The 29-year-old fell 1066m, landing in a boggy field.

 

She was able to put herself in a recovery position before rescuers found her suffering from just a broken left ankle.

 

Ms Sievwright was taken to hospital for surgery on her ankle and she is said to be traumatised but recovering well.

 

"I was searching for toggles to pull but there weren't any," she was quoting as saying in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.

 

"I didn't think I was going to make it — I thought I was dead. I braced for impact and I don't really remember what happened after that."

Single use aircraft? Naah, I don't think it'll catch on...

I had a reserve deploy into a perfectly good main one day- the RSL got caught on the main risers! Two canopies for a while both trying to make love to each other- chopped the main before they got to embraced. Not fun!
