“Possibly the scariest moment of my life.”
A video purportedly shows a man, who has jumped out of a plane at 12,000 feet over Western Australia, having a seizure as he is free falling.
The skydiver, identified only as Christopher, was taking a training program with Western Australia Skydiving Academy, when he made the fateful jump on Nov. 14, 2014.
Robin O'Neill, the business manager and chief instructor of the Academy, confirmed to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that the instructor who saved the skydiver is Sheldon McFarlane.
Christopher later described it as "possibly the scariest moment of my life."
By mid-fall it is clear in the video that something is wrong, as the man rolls onto his back and starts to shake uncontrollably.
For about 30 seconds, he continues to convulse as the instructor, Sheldon McFarlane, attempts to get close enough to the man to pull his parachute.
