The skydiver's interview:
04/30/2011 The skydive accident that caused the loss of my left arms
feeling due to nerves being severed from spine, which I am still
waiting for the amputation confirmation date. All
is looking over at the pit and seeing the trailer and wanting to avoid
it. Upon exiting the plain the winds on the ground were at 11 mph due
west. Coming in on landing I did a pen check and was being blown
backwards from the west and crosswinds from the north. The winds at the
time of the crash were all over, varying from west and north anywhere
from 20 mph to gust of 28 mph. The GoPro camera I was using makes it
look like I am farther away from the trailer than i really am. I had a
small window of time to make a decision attempt to miss the trailer or
due a low turn and pitch myself into the ground with a down draft and
traveling at around 45 mph. I am here posting this video so as far as
I'm concerned it was the right decision at the time. In truth, I
PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE ALIVE... I DO NOT REMEMBER ANYTHING AFTER THAT ALL
I DO IS WATCH THE VIDEO!
