Broken Neck Skydiving

My accident 4/23/03. In this video I am the instructor. The camera is on the left side of my head. The points of contact were the top of my head and his ribs. I heard my neck break and, I was paralyzed instantly.My student broke 2 ribs. The legs you see flopping around are mine. My emergency parachute opened around 700'. I was fully concious until hitting the ground.

I think it is hilarious because people get sad over it so many years later. It was one point in time that is far in the past. So, relax and, smile my life is Great!

Does the emergency chute open on its own at 700 or was it just luck.

I saw this in A 1000 Ways to Die. Don't know why they chose this even though you survived.

Dont want to scare you haha, skydiving is fun, but most injuries happen in air/ right when you land, during my first dive the air foil dislocated my right shoulder, my instructor was quick on his feet and pulled my chute, I was luckily able to thread both steering loops through my left arm and make it down to the ground relatively safely, no flare though which hurt, and the woman who went before me is paralyzed for life, it was approximately her 800th jump
