Skydiver Forgot To Open Parachute……
And he, James Boole, survived 6,000ft free fall! Isn’t it miracle?
James Boole, a skydiver, has spoken of how he fell 6,000ft without opening his parachute and lived.
The 31-year-old from Tamworth, Staffs, thought that he was going to die after crashing onto the snow-covered mountain in Russia after a filming stunt which went wrong.
But despite suffering multiple injuries, he was rescued and flown home to Britain in a body brace.
Mr Boole, who has one child, now describes himself as “the luckiest man in the world”.
The accident happened while he was filming another skydiver performing a jump onto a mountain side for a television documentary.
As he plunged at 100mph, he was meant to open his parachute following a signal from the other man.
But because of a mix-up, he pulled the cord with only a few seconds to spare.
Landing was like being “hit by a speeding truck”, he said.
He reportedly broke his back, cracked a rib, chipped several teeth and bruised a lung.
