Video of failed-chute skydiver surviving 12,000 foot fall

Amazing first person helmet-mounted video of a skydiver who fell 12,000 feet without a failed chute and lived.

It shows him plummeting 12,000ft to earth after both his parachutes failed, saying goodbye to the world... and hitting the ground with a sickening thud at 80mph. Michael's friend, who jumped from the same plane, also filmed the whole event. He found his pal bleeding and unconscious - but alive.
