Accidents can happen to the most experienced operators. For parachutist Johan Grobler, this became a reality on May 15, 2010, when a run-of-the-mill jump in Klerksdorp, South Africa, ended in disaster. This footage, released after Grobler’s recovery, shows the shocking accident as it was captured on camera. Grobler broke every bone on his left-hand side, and was forced to spend seven days in ICU and three months in hospital and rehab. Credit: YouTube/Johan Grobler and Mike Rumble
