Two skydivers rescued an unconscious fellow diver as they were all free-falling at more than 100 miles per hour.
James Lee, 25, told ABC News that he was knocked out when another diver’s leg hit him in the back of the head as they were skydiving from 12,500 feet over Wiltshire, England.
Then, after some of the other jumpers sensed that something was wrong, they tried getting Lee to respond to hand signals. And after he didn’t, they safely positioned his body and pulled his parachute.
Skydivers fall at an average of about 120 mph, and Lee jumped from about 12,500 feet.
It’s easy to see how this could have turned into a catastrophic mishap, but thanks to the quick thinking of Lee’s fellow jumpers, no one is writing that story.
