Front page in The Star (Jo'burg's daily) today is a story of a young woman who survived an equipment malfunction from 11500 ft. Apparently her main 'chute didn't open and her backup opened really violently, snapping some of the lines and causing her to spin violently.
She hit some powerlines on the way in which helped to arrest her fall and she seems to be okay, in hospital with a fractured pelvis. Lucky girl
