Dramatic Mid-Air Rescue Saves Unconscious Skydiver, Captured on Helmet Cam (VIDEO)
While out with a skydiving group in July 2013, James Lee had just jumped from the plane when another skydiver accidentally hit him on the back of the head and knocked him unconscious. Out cold, the 25-year-old plummeted toward the ground.
"A jumper that left the aircraft afterwards came down a little bit unstable and knocked me unconscious on the back of my head," Lee told ABC News. "From then, I have no real recollection of what happened on the skydive."
Thankfully Lee's friends noticed there was something wrong, and they drifted over to find that the experienced skydiver with over 1,000 jumps was unresponsive. They turned his body to the corrected position and deployed his chute.
He regained consciousness on the way down and drifted safely to the ground.
"I was just happy to be on the ground because everything goes a bit slower there," Lee said.
