Skydiving incident

I recently read about an Australian skydiver having a seizure while skydiving.
Christopher Jones, who is 22 years old, survived a seizure while skydiving from 12,000 feet in Australia. He spent 30 seconds unconscious in free fall before his instructor saved him and pulled his parachute. Jones uploaded a video on Youtube on Sunday.
I could not imagine what it would be like to be an instructor, especially when something dangerous as this happens. How was the instructor able to get the skydiver so quickly? Jones was going 124 miles-per-hour. After having an incident like that there is no way I would never be able to do it again. Jones was able to go skydiving again. I wonder what caused for him to get a seizure? I would think this has caused him life-long effects limiting to things. (Photo was taken from The Sydney Morning Herald)

  1. For some reason it's hard to see your links. They appear when the cursor hovers over them, but not without that. Perhaps you need to change the preferences?

    Good post. Good use of photo and making the words wrap. Be sure to put your caption right under the photo, along with the photo credit.
