Freefaller

On the news tonight - a freefaller in New Zealand filmed his own fall to earth after his parachute failed to open. Despite falling at 100mph and crashing into the ground, he ended up alive with just a broken ankle and a collapsed lung.

ITV showed the film tonight on their late news bulletin - not on their website yet though - will keep an eye out for it.
