There's never a good time for a person to suffer a seizure, but having it happen mid-skydive is probably the worst-case scenario.

According to the description posted with this YouTube video, that's exactly what happened to this guy, who's extremely lucky to be alive. Here's what he wrote about the near-death experience and his amazing rescue:


Possibly the scariest moment of my life. On the 14th of November 2014 while doing stage five of my Accelerated Free Fall program I have a near death experience. At around 9000ft I have a seizure while attempting a left hand turn. I then spend the next 30 seconds in free fall unconscious. Thankfully my jumpmaster manages to pull my ripcord at around 4000ft. I become conscious at 3000 ft and land safely back to the ground.

Somebody owes somebody a beer. Every day. Forever.
