Sometimes you feel lucky. Or maybe it's coincidence. Or fate.December 13th 2006 I did a skydive over Lake Taupo in New Zealand. I had looked forward to this day for a long time. The skydive was amazing. 15,000 ft (5000 m) and I could see over both islands. We were 4 people jumping from that height and I was the last one to jump. The freefall lasted for 1 whole minute and was awesome. After that the parachute popped up and I was sailing like a bird in the air. It was dead quiet and I could see everywhere. I looked down and saw the other two skydivers heading towards the highway and asked the guy behind my back (it was a tandem jump): "Are we gonna land by the highway too?" He said: "No, just them". Then he turned the parachute so I couldn't see them anymore.
When I landed my friend E was standing on the ground. Shaking and in tears. She told me one of the camera guys had just crashed! She actually thought it was me. The atmosphere at the skydiving centre was calm but you could see the staff just tried to keep us calm when infact one of the guys might be dead.
Now, 2 months later, it's on the Swedish TV news.
Felt weird to see the video clip today knowing I was just above him... Anyway, he survived, miraculously. And I just feel lucky, or whatever it was that did that I didn't get the broken parachute.

hoppade DU från samma plan samtidigt som honom? gud vad sjukt! Varför har inte Ted berättat det för mig? :) Han var ju iofs inte kvar i sverige nu när det sändes.
usch vad otäckt, det måste ha varit jätte- jättebisarrt att känna att det verkligen lika gärna kunde varit du.
