Skydiver knocked unconscious, rescued in mid-air

Imagine: This is it. You’re at the edge of the door to the airplane ready to take the plunge from over 12,000 feet in the sky. You dive out of the plane ready for the rush of your life, when you suddenly collide head-on with a fellow skydiver and you are knocked unconscious — oh yes — in mid-air.

Twenty-five-year-old James Lee experienced this real-life nightmare at 12,500 feet above England. His limp body went plummeting to the ground after a collision with another skydiver mere moments after he jumped from the plane.

In the video, you can literally see how limp his arms are as he free falls to the earth at more than 120 mph!

A couple of Lee’s co-divers noticed something was wrong and signalled Lee to straighten his legs. Lee was unresponsive.

With Lee’s helmet camera filming the entire ordeal, his fellow divers latched onto him and helped him into position as they pulled his chute only seconds before it was too late. Lee quickly regained consciousness just in time to make a perfectly soft landing on the ground.

“I have no real recollection of what happened on that part of the skydive.” Lee told ABC News following the incident. “I was very happy to just be back on the ground.”

This wasn’t Lee’s first rodeo. But having jumped over a thousand times before, Lee had never experienced anything like this. In no way has this brush with death deterred this daring diver as he has indeed jumped since this terrifying ordeal.

At 12,500 feet you must be close to heaven, because James Lee definitely had an angel on his side.
