"I Prepared For The Worst And I Got The Best"
To say that Shayna Richardson feels lucky to be alive would be
an understatement -- times two. The 21-year-old Arkansas woman
started skydiving back in May, and was on her first solo jump two
months ago when the unthinkable happened: her parachutes -- that's
plural, both the main and the reserve -- failed to open fully. Her
instructor caught the whole horrifying ordeal on tape as she
spiraled to the ground, before landing face-down at 50 miles per
hour in the airport parking lot.
