MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- It was supposed to be a regular jump from 14,000 feet over Australia -- but that soon changed, when a 27-year-old Canadian deployed his parachute at 3,000 feet and the main lines became tangled.
The skydiver was plummeting to Earth in a violent spin.
After trying in vain to untangle his shoot, his only option was to cut away, and put his faith in his reserve chute.
The entire incident was caught on GoPro camera.
