Viral Video: Skydiver Has Seizure While Falling, Lives

A near death experience caught on camera has gone viral after a man has a seizure while skydiving. The only thing saving his life? His partner racing through the air and reaching him in time to pull his parachute cord while he remain unconscious. 

From the man himself:

Possibly the scariest moment of my life. On the 14th of November 2014 while doing stage five of my Accelerated Free Fall program I have a near death experience. At around 9000ft I have a seizure while attempting a left hand turn. I then spend the next 30 seconds in free fall unconscious. Thankfully my jumpmaster manages to pull my ripcord at around 4000ft. I become conscious at 3000 ft and land safely back to the ground.

The video had 4.5 million views in its first day.
