Paraglider on video saves himself with '1 second' before impact: 'This was not the day to die!'
Fox News
A paraglider recording a stunt on camera almost captured his own demise on video, when he narrowly escaped getting tangled after he hit turbulence and his break line stuck.
"Acro paragliding trick in strong turbulence went wrong," Phillip said in the video's description. "Break line got stuck."
Phillip went on to explain that the way he was falling made it difficult to use the rescue parachute, which he had to open manually. He said that by the time he managed to save himself, he only had "about 1 second" left to spare before it would have been too late.
