“Your spine’s exploded – you shouldn’t be able to move your legs”
When a skydive manoeuvre went wrong, Michael came crashing down to earth at approximately 40mph, causing a significant spinal injury.
Our doctor-paramedic Critical Care Team were dispatched by air. Just minutes later, they were on scene, ready to provide enhanced care.
Michael’s film contains real footage from Michael’s helmet camera, giving you unfiltered access to the critical nature of Micahel’s fall to earth.
