Adventurers succeed to record their terrifying moments of death
Cairo: HelloEgy.
Skydiving is one of the most extreme activities and every now and again some skydivers are liable to die, but they manage to avoid death in spectacular ways.
There are some hair-raising incidents including the feared parachute-not-opening, being knocked out at 12,500 feet and two planes colliding. But the most strange thing is that those skydivers care for recording their terrifying moments by their head-cameras.
Anders Helstrup, a wing-suit pilot, has stated to Daily Mirror that he was cruising through the air at when a METEORITE hurtled passed him at 300mph. And fortunately the rock was in "dark flight" which is the part of its journey after it has lost its glow and missed him by meters.
Paraglider Gregor Zilnek's headcam captures the terrifying moment he comes down to earth with a bang after his parachute fails. Hundreds of feet in the air above mountains in eastern Slovenia, he suddenly spins out of control and plunges to the ground at the rate of 16 metres per second. The short video shows him grabbing helplessly at cords as the out-of-control parachute dangles uselessly below his legs.
Terrifying Moments: this video shows the incredible moment a skydiver was saved mid-air by his friends after being knocked out at 12,500 feet. James Lee's head camera caught the whole episode from the moment he jumped from the plane to when he was hit on the head by another skydiver and his safe descent to earth. The 25-year-old's pals soon realized that something was wrong when he started tumbling uncontrollably at speeds of up to 120mph. Two of them flew over to him to try and see if they could help, but all they could do was deploy his parachute for him. With the jolt of it being opened he came round and was able to descend safely in the landing zone at an airfield in Wiltshire.
Colliding with a Plane: Some astonishing pictures show how skydiver John Frost cheated death after being hit by a plane as he came into land. John Frost was about to touch down on the ground when the plane suddenly took off. It sliced into the strings of his parachute hurled Mr Frost 75ft into the air.
He narrowly avoided being hit by the spinning propeller before he slammed into the ground. Moments later the pilot of the Cessna light aircraft lost control and nose-dived into the grass runway.
The Colliding of Two Planes: Two parachutists cheated death when the two Cessna light aircraft collided 12,000 feet above Wisconsin, near Lake Superior.
Instructor Mike Robinson was in the first plane with three fellow skydivers while five were in the second behind. The planes were flying in formation and the group were preparing to jump when the second aircraft flew over the top of the first and crashed down onto it.
The impact sent a huge fireball into the sky and scattered the skydivers from the planes. The terrifying footage, filmed on the head-cam of parachutist Amy Olson, shows one of the jumpers clinging to the step of the plane before letting go.
Crossing between Two Ballons: This daredevil tightrope walkers attempted to cross between two hot-air balloons- and failed spectacularly. The group, called the Skyliners, attempted the jaw-dropping feat in Spain, but not one managed to cross the whole way without falling . Luckily, they did have the sense to put parachutes on their backs first, so there didn't appear to be any injuries.
Filmmaker Sébastien Montaz-Rosset caught all their efforts on camera, and each one of them had a head-cam to capture their rapid descent when they eventually fell.
Breaking the Speed of Sound Barrier: Supersonic Felix Baumgartner was first man to break the speed of sound barrier in freefall - and now you can see that moment like never before.
This new video, released by Red Bull, shows the incredible jump - in full - with three different camera angles, so you can really experience every second of the drop. Baumgartner reached a top velocity 833.9 miles per hour, while the sound barrier is around 690 miles per hour.
He is also set a new record for the highest ever jump, exiting the capsule at 128,000 ft, as well as the highest ever manned balloon flight.
