How This Skydiver Survived a Horrific Fall

Jordan Hatmaker incredibly survived a skydiving accident in November of 2021. It was her 16th solo jump, which, "in the skydiving world, that's like super new," she tells Inside Edition Digital. Her main parachute didn't come out and she gravity pulled her towards the ground. "It all happened really quickly. So when I was headed towards the ground, I was just thinking this is really going to hurt. I didn't think that I would sustain the injuries that I had."

I broke my c2 3 times horseback riding. They screwed it back together multiple times and I missed the spinal cord every single time. The vertebrae I broke should have ended my life or paralyzed me immediately. I am making a full recovery. I carried two babies to term with my spine broken in between spinal surgeries. With God anything is possible. I had to learn to walk again after I lost the nerves to my left knee. It took 4 grueling years but I got back in the ballet studio this month. God is so good!!!!

This happened to an ex bf of mine when he was 26. He was an experienced instructor and he was taking a guy on a tandem jump and it was the guys first time. He froze with terror and failed to pull the chord on the chute while my ex was shouting instructions at him. They plummeted to the ground and my guy was conscious through all of it. He was left a paraplegic while the other guy walked away with no injuries. It changed my guys life....he had been a champion kickboxer and loved his rugby and soccer. He suffered burning pain in his legs for the rest of his life. I used to massage them. He was still able to drive and he could walk a bit with calipers but he was mostly in a wheelchair. He suffered awful depressions and nothing could bring him out of it. He eventually gave up on life, didn't take care of himself and died in hospital of an infection when he was in his 40's.

And that is why we (skydivers) always practice our emergency procedures. After the bridal of the pilot chute wrapped around her leg, she should have pulled the cutaway handle first, then the reserve handle second. Instead, she wasted precious time trying to unwrap the bridal from around her leg. The AAD (Automatic Activation Device) fired off the reserve parachute which she said caused the closing pin to slip out, which caused the main chute to fall of of the container and deploy into a down plane malfunction. Had she had time to address that malfunction, she should have realized that the reserve chute was the dominant chute and she should have tried to cutaway the main chute. She is very lucky that she is alive.
