Man Survives Fall of 12,000 Feet After Parachute Malfunction

And here's the best part, from another article:

"

The ordeal was witnessed by John Siddles, a local man, and his 18-year-old son, Adam, who were watching the parachutists to decide if they wanted to try it themselves.

"One of the skydivers was coming down and going round and round," Mr Siddles said.

"He looked like he was all tangled up or something. He just came down, straight down. It looked like it had opened.

"We decided it's not for us."
