BASE Jumpers' Parachutes Tangle in Horrifying Video
Somehow, the jumpers were able to untangle themselves.
— -- Video shows the scary moments when two BASE jumpers’ parachutes became tangled during a jump in Arizona.
The parachutes got tangled above a boulder field in the Superstition Mountains, rendering the chutes nearly useless, sending the jumpers spiraling.
Somehow, the jumpers were able to untangle themselves before the free fall turned deadly.
Jumper Scott Frankson came to a crash landing on the face of a boulder after his parachute caught on the rock. Experts say that catch possibly prevented him from suffering serious injuries.
The other jumper made it to the ground safely, and both of the jumpers were able to walk away from their mid-air crisis.
