Shown here - and ONLY here - for the first time online is the amazing video from the helmet camera of British skydiver Michael Holmes.


It shows him plummeting 12,000ft to earth after both his parachutes failed, saying goodbye to the world... and hitting the ground with a sickening thud at 80mph.

Michael's friend, who jumped from the same plane, also filmed the whole event. He found his pal bleeding and unconscious - but alive.

Amazing. Just amazing. I guess it's better to be alive than dead. I hope he gets better.

11 days in hospital and he wants to jump again

He's lucky man, he's alive

brave man, but fanatic...

Incredible man. He's got a lot of guts to do that again! XD

I have no words to that... I can't imagine how horrified this person would be at that moment, and just the feeling you can't do anything else. I hope he's ok now....

last seconds he says GOODBYE and moving his hands!!!
