Skydiver Hangs at 15,000 Feet After Parachute Catches Plane

Shocking footage reveals a skydiver, identified as P1, dangling 15,000 feet above Queensland after his reserve parachute accidentally deployed and snagged on a Cessna 208’s tail. P1, an experienced jumper, used a hook knife to cut through cords before deploying his main parachute, which became tangled, causing him to spin before he landed safely with minor injuries. The pilot radioed for help, fearing the aircraft might suffer catastrophic damage, but it landed safely despite substantial damage. The incident highlights the lifesaving potential of hook knives in skydiving emergencies.
