Woman pregnant after parachute fails to open (Video)

Well, that as accurate a headline as you are going to find on any other news source these days.

http://www.todaysthv.com/news/news.aspx?storyid=21872

Imagine jumping out of an airplane and having your parachute fail, but you somehow survive the impact. That's what happened to 21-year-old Shayna Richardson of Joplin, Mo., while she was skydiving in Siloam Springs, Ark. in October.

She was taking her first solo jump when her parachute didn't open and then her reserve parachute didn't fully open either. Richardson landed face first in a parking lot. Her instructor caught it all on tape.

Richardson explains what happened next, "In the hit, I eggshelled my entire face. Everything through here got eggshelled and I broke my pelvis in two places and broke my fibula in my right leg."

6. I'm not sure I can watch a video like that

I am amazed that someone caught the whole thing on video though. I just don't think I could watch it.
