Skydivers get stuck on plane's landing gear | Video

Terrifying video shows two skydivers get stuck to the landing gear of a plane while suspended in mid-air thousands of feet above ground for almost eight minutes. An amateur skydiver and her parachutist-instructor are lucky to be alive after getting stuck on the landing gear for several terrifying minutes as they leaped out of a single-engine light plane that was flying at an altitude of several thousand feet. The nine-minute video which surfaced online on Saturday shows the instructor and the skydiver attached to one another as they prepare to tumble out of the small plane. The parachutist signals to the pilot that he is ready and slaps him a high-five before he and his student take the plunge. Just seconds after jumping out of the plane, it becomes apparent that their equipment becomes entangled with the landing gear of the aircraft. The instructor appears to be hanging on to the landing gear as he and the skydiver are suspended in mid-air several thousand feet above the surface of the Earth. Throughout this time, the instructor is outfitted with a video camera that records the entire episode. He manages to angle the camera so that it shows the strap of the skydiver’s equipment latch onto a piece of metal protruding from the landing gear. The camera then shows close-up shots of the terror-filled faces of the skydiver and the instructor as they helplessly dangle from the flying plane. A few minutes later, the instructor uses a tool to extricate himself and the skydiver from the plane. The two fall toward the Earth, though they’re in the clear when the instructor opens up his parachute. Thank god,’ he is heard saying in the video. ‘Unbelievable!’ The two breathe a heavy sigh of relief and clasp hands as they descend toward the ground with the chute open.
