Stunning video shows the moment a skydiver’s parachute got caught on a plane’s tail — leaving him dangling 15,000 feet above the ground.
The parachutist was climbing out the door and preparing to jump out over North Queensland, Australia, when the handle for his reserve parachute hooked onto a partially extended wing flap, causing it to deploy as he jumped, the hair-raising footage shows.
The reserve parachute then became entangled on the aircraft’s tail, leaving the man desperately flailing from the back of the speeding jet, video from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) shows.
Thirteen parachutists who were still on board quickly bailed from the plane.
Two others stayed behind until the man caught on the tail frantically used a knife to cut 11 lines from the reserve parachute, causing it to tear and freeing him from the plane.
The skydiver then deployed his main parachute and landed safely with the others, suffering only minor injuries, the ATSB said.
