WARNING! GRAPHIC SKYDIVE ACCIDENT! 1 Arm Skydiver

04/30/2011 The skydive accident that caused the loss of my left arms feeling due to nerves being severed from spine, which I am still waiting for the amputation confirmation date. All I remember is looking over at the pit and seeing the trailer and wanting to avoid it. Upon exiting the plain the winds on the ground were at 11 mph due west. Coming in on landing I did a pen check and was being blown backwards from the west and crosswinds from the north. The winds at the time of the crash were all over, varying from west and north anywhere from 20 mph to gust of 28 mph. The GoPro camera I was using makes it look like I am farther away from the trailer than i really am. I had a small window of time to make a decision attempt to miss the trailer or due a low turn and pitch myself into the ground with a down draft and traveling at around 45 mph. I am here posting this video so as far as I'm concerned it was the right decision at the time. In truth, I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE ALIVE... I DO NOT REMEMBER ANYTHING AFTER THAT ALL I DO IS WATCH THE VIDEO!

Those guys are a bit unsure about calling an  ambulance; what the fuck does a brother have to do to get an ambulance in your part of the world? Also who the fuck parks a vehicle anywhere near a landing zone!

Hey man, I'm sorry for your accident, but i gotta say that the guys that were in the ground after you hit the truck fuk it up pretty good in aiding you. You were clearly confused and with an arm that was obviously broken and with a possible concussion. It doesn't matter what were your saying, they should had called 911 right away and they shouldn't had helped you sit up or anything.
