Through the Eyes of a Crashing Skydiver

If you ever needed a reason to not skydive, here it is. The UK's Daily Mail got their hands on the helmet-cam footage of 25-year-old skydiver Michael Holmes...crashing.

Mr. Holmes is no stranger to the game: he's completed over 7,000 successful leaps, and one less-than-successful jump.

Yep, you get to see, in full color, all 12,000 ft of his fall, after both of this parachutes failed. Amazingly, he landed in some bushes and survived the ordeal. There's even a few seconds of him talking to his friend, who's found him on the ground. But beware, the video isn't for the faint of heart.
