Amazing that he survived.. Apparently he's back up and jumping again even after this.

Kind of disturbing though, when he gets close to the ground you can hear him say, "I'm dead. I'm dead. WHY?"

Yeah, it's really crazy.. I really want to do that sometime, but man, if something goes wrong, there is far too long to think about it before you hit the ground

So how badly was he injured, or do you know any more details?

You say he's back jumping again? What, did he screw up his death wish the first time?
I won't jump out of a plane that's on the ground.

Damn, that's amazing. He's lucky the bushes were there to break his fall. Otherwise he would've been a goner.

I remember reading a story in High School about a British bomber crew member that fell 20,000 feet, with no parachute, and lived. Crazy stuff.

edit: Well, maybe my memory is wrong. Seems he was American. http://www.303rdbg.com/magee.html
