Skydiver in good condition after frightening fall

HOMESTEAD (CBS4) ― A Miami area skydiver is recovering after an accident damaged his parachute at 13 thousand feet.

Skydive Miami said 27-old year Rafael Sarria, an experienced jumper, ran into trouble when he snagged his chute as he left the plane, damaging both the chute and the plane. The plane was able to land safely as the Sarria plummeted to earth.

Miami Dade Fire Rescue said they received a call about 11 a.m. Sunday that a skydiver had landed in an avocado field in Homestead near 296th Street and Southwest 212th Avenue, about 2 miles northeast of the airport the plane had taken off from. Due to the lack of roads and rough terrain, firefighters and paramedics had to haul rescue and life saving equipment more than 300 yards through the grove to reach Sarria.

Paramedics treated and stabilized him. Although he was injured, they said Sarria was in good spirits. He was airlifted to the Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital in serious condition.

On Monday, Sarria remained in stable condition with pains in his back, a few minor cuts, and bruises on his armpits from the parachute straps.


Qm's personal comment: I was like: "Wha! You damn lucky la."

Btw people, 13000 feet is equals to about 800 stories ++ (apparently damn lucky is not enough. should be damn times 1000 to the power of 100,000)

I think some people, who fall down and hit their heads, have a high chance of entering a coma already.... Somemore after he landed, he was in good spitits. How can you still be happy after falling from so high up??? All i can say to the person is "obviously, you must have someone special up there looking after you..." This is truly one great miracle!
