- Jordan Hatmaker incredibly survived a skydiving accident in November of 2021. It was her 16th solo jump, which, "in the skydiving world, that's like super new," she tells Inside Edition Digital. Her main parachute didn't come out and she gravity pulled her towards the ground. "It all happened really quickly. So when I was headed towards the ground, I was just thinking this is really going to hurt. I didn't think that I would sustain the injuries that I had."
Last words before hitting the ground: "This is really gonna hurt"
Mine woulda been, "Yep, I'm a gonner" 😅
@@yotarocketexactly😂
@@yotarocket”welp, here’s hoping I reincarnate as some billionaire’s son, not naming names but I’ll take the cocaine and models over college debt any day,”
Brave woman indeed!
I wouldnt even be able to speak bro
Thinking "This is gonna hurt" instead of "I'm gonna die", that's hope man.
I dunno. I feel like it's optimistic to say that's optimism lmao. Idiocy... Maybe break a bone??? Bro
Almost like delusional in most cases
I was in a tornado (literally) and my thought was just "Damn, this is how I die." It is a weird calmness. I survived (ofc lol).
@@jamieohjamieActually like IN one?
@@carolinegraceh Yeah. In a bus but in one all the same.
My husband broke c1, c2, c3 and c7 after diving off a dock at the lake and was supposed to be paralyzed but instead was recovered fully 6 months later and back to work. Its absolutely amazing to see another person who went through a similar injury make such an amazing come back as well. I thank modern medicine every day and thank you for sharing this inspiring story
C3PO ?
I broke my c2 3 times horseback riding. They screwed it back together multiple times and I missed the spinal cord every single time. The vertebrae I broke should have ended my life or paralyzed me immediately. I am making a full recovery. I carried two babies to term with my spine broken in between spinal surgeries. With God anything is possible. I had to learn to walk again after I lost the nerves to my left knee. It took 4 grueling years but I got back in the ballet studio this month. God is so good!!!!
A hate my brain 😭 my immediate thought was, "damn this dude cant stop crashing Corvettes" 😂
@@budgetbuilt8838😂
you should thank God. God made the concept of medicine possible and for doctors to have the strength to keep making it
Wow that was crazy she survived skydiving how that's one in a million odds now She's Super Lucky.
fax
Legend huh.. should change her name from Jordan to Zelda
its just a matter of time... reminds me of Jessi combs.. i told all my friends she wont last long doing what she do..
She’s lucky, not a legend.
A legend? Not really.
The best part about skydiving is you never have to do it.
Or climb Mt. Everest
Facts
Thats exactly why i laugh at them! Its their dumb choice! 😂
This happened to an ex bf of mine when he was 26. He was an experienced instructor and he was taking a guy on a tandem jump and it was the guys first time. He froze with terror and failed to pull the chord on the chute while my ex was shouting instructions at him. They plummeted to the ground and my guy was conscious through all of it. He was left a paraplegic while the other guy walked away with no injuries. It changed my guys life....he had been a champion kickboxer and loved his rugby and soccer. He suffered burning pain in his legs for the rest of his life. I used to massage them. He was still able to drive and he could walk a bit with calipers but he was mostly in a wheelchair. He suffered awful depressions and nothing could bring him out of it. He eventually gave up on life, didn't take care of himself and died in hospital of an infection when he was in his 40's.
He didn’t have a cord to pull?? I thought there was 2
I didn’t expect it to end like that. I’m sorry for your loss
@@davidforden Thank you.
@@elainekellogg6345 He couldn't reach his, I don't know why......but the other guy could but didn't as he froze with terror.
So sorry to hear that 😢
As someone who survived a motorcycle accident and herniated c3 through c7, these videos give me anxiety. But, it’s also such a relief when I hear of a happy ending.
Wow. Survived and is not paralyzed, amazing.
that's God looking out for her. no amount of bone/muscle/tendon/ligament strength should be able to compensate a fall from that height without a lifetime injury.
Something I’ve never wanted to do. 😳 Glad ya made it there braveheart.
You get in that type of accident and still do it after is very strong and shows you how much she loves doing this type of things
It's not strong it just means she still wants to do it
It's not a great idea.
She is definitely single.
OR it means they're dumb
@@UCONN_HUSKIESeven if she was so what? Who cares about others love life? Plus I’d still skydive married lol
@@Dashinaterno she’s not dumb doing what she loves. You only live once kiddo
There's another woman here on CZcams with a similar story (pilot chute wrapped around her foot) and she was doing a tandem jump. (Raleigh Link). That's too much risk for me...
They say that with spinal cord injuries, while not all will heal, the earlier you start PT the better your chances, even in complete SCI. I think your (her) optimism absolutely helped
She’s lucky, really really lucky.
Her guardian angel was working overtime
I will never understand why people pay thousands of dollars to potentially fall to their deaths.
Adrenaline junkies
Mental
Gives them Something to talk about at gatherings.
Because they can.
I totally agree if it was for war it’d be free and I understand. This tho um hell no.
I love how inside edition posts these uplifting versions of these horrific accidents. Lots of uplifting videos by this channel. Great job
I am so glad she is okay!! She’s very brave and so strong!! 🩷🌸
She's not that brave.
@tonymontana4284 She jumped out of a plane and got injured. Dealing with the injuries she did and having to recover makes her brave.
@@Spellbound_Rosethats not what brave means
@Ignacio-hv5yl Mmm… okay.
@@Ignacio-hv5yl exactly... People use the word brave incorrectly.
She’s got a great attitude and is one blessed and lucky woman
what a brave lady! she is very good at skydiving and to hear that she got hurt is a sad thing ❤😢
This gal was SO BLESSED to survive this horrific accident. She's beautiful and her light shines bright. Truly .....TRULY this young woman is GRACED. A MIRACLE happened. A coworker of mine lost her daughter to this exact accident. This occurred years ago, but the memory of her mother's pain is still strong, unfortunately.😪😪
Was she blessed by falling all that way to the ground? Was that a blessing?
@hawaiisidecar did you read?? She is definitely the lucky one to survive and continue almost normal life. So yes, she is blessed.
@@3CandiesInTX Was she blessed when the chute failed?
@@hawaiisidecar no, she was blessed to be alive and still blessed after the chute failed
@@nikflames Was the chute failing a blessing? Wasn't that pre-known to your god? And he still let it happen. Then at the last moment he decided to bless her by only making the accident life threatening injuries. What a ridiculous superstition.
Life isn’t worth risking for this type of stuff
For some, the life you live isn't "living". That's why this and mountaineers exist.
Exactly!
For many people it is!
Facts. It makes no sense.
I agree but thinking more deeply, that logic goes for anything, you can’t always be cautious about everything in life sometimes you need to have some fun.
This lady is an inspiration, I mean regardless of her injuries, paralysis and everything else;
She kept GOING and didn't let fear take her and still continues to do what she loves!
That beautiful skydiver is lucky to be alive and has my respect. I like how she is comfortable sharing her story with the Inside Edition audience.
She's very lucky she didn't die from this tragic incident.
NAH
Jordan you're amazing.. keep up the great work on your road to recovery !! Cheers from Canada
I love how she gives the technical terms for her impeding doom.
That girl is a TANK. A BEAST! A bonafide miracle. ❤
built like a TANK, smells like a BEAST!
@@videnez you’ve smelled her?
Even Tank can't do that. She's absolute powerful new machine
Glad your still with us
Not fall. LANDING! She had a horrific landing!
Yes she was so Lucky
they wouldn’t get as many views if they indicated she landed
This reminds me of the Emma Carey skydiving accident. 2 brave and inspiring women that survived a horrific accident.
I'll add a third, Victoria Cilliers.. her husband and jumping partner tampered with her chute in an attempt to cash in on her life insurance payout...
She now lives in Wiltshire with her two children and continues to work as a physiotherapist for the Ministry of Defence and wrote a book called "I Survived"
There is also true crime content here on youtube if you search her name or Emile, her husband's
@@Faesharlyn That is incredible. Thank you for telling me about this amazing woman!
Wow she's amazing
Incredible resilience both physically and mentally
That’s wonderful. You’re very lucky but your determination is next level.
Glad she survived and then decided to skydive again anyways. She's an inspiration 🖤💯
I hurt my back and you're giving me hope.. I'm so happy for you
What a champ! U r amazing! Love your story!
Glad you survived sorry you got hurt.
She’s a living testimony!!! She’s not lucky she’s blessed
What an incredible strong women. Good for you girlie! You go, and keep reaching for your dreams! Very proud of you!
She was seeking a thrill and almost got killed." Normal day of life "😮she really said that...
Omg. Bless her heart 💔
I’d rather do a skydiving tunnel than actually skydiving.
Big ass fan
She's amazing!!
Great explanation as to why we skydive. I'm glad you survived, what a story
You're so strong 😊
Fast recovery ❤
And that is why we (skydivers) always practice our emergency procedures. After the bridal of the pilot chute wrapped around her leg, she should have pulled the cutaway handle first, then the reserve handle second. Instead, she wasted precious time trying to unwrap the bridal from around her leg. The AAD (Automatic Activation Device) fired off the reserve parachute which she said caused the closing pin to slip out, which caused the main chute to fall of of the container and deploy into a down plane malfunction. Had she had time to address that malfunction, she should have realized that the reserve chute was the dominant chute and she should have tried to cutaway the main chute. She is very lucky that she is alive.
A friend of mine snapped both of her legs in a skydiving accident. The fall was videotaped and they played the song “ Everyone Hurts” for the background music as you can see ambulances, and people running to help her.. lucky to be alive for sure.
I was so happy to see you on your feet knowing you had use of your legs again. Happy for your recovery. Aloha from Hawaii.
Play at 1.5 speed
Haha, thank you. Some people just aren’t especially gifted storytellers
second! i'm so glad she managed to survive! i want to go skydiving some day, but this is what im worried about that might happen
Bruh😭 why????
Kiddo 🤡🤡🤡
@@ticktock6442 it lit doesnt matter if im a child or not, and its embarrassing to make assumptions like this when u don't even have enough proof or u dont even know the person enough
@@HakuChanEditz did u not watch the vid
Before covid i wanted to go sky diving the day i decided to dp it i couldn't because covid hit everywhere until then I'm still debating. You never know.@@CacaPudding
One thing is for certain about skydiving is you’ll hit the ground, chute or no chute. Glad she survived.
You could see how traumatized she is when talking about it
that one word no could have saved everything
Unbelievable Miracle!!!
She's very lucky to have been able to recover enough to climb Everest about a year later. I know someone who had a lot more skydiving experience and just had a rough/fast landing one day and suffered a spinal cord injury at the neck level and is now quadriplegic.
Skydiving is brave. I can't even climb up a ladder before getting a total meltdown.
NOT BRAVE, FOOLISH..ANYBODY CAN JUMP OUT OF A PLANE, FOOLISH TO DO
@@leelunk8235 "anybody can jump out of a plane" yeah I'd like to see you try
@@Killbayne SORRY YOU HAVE A WEAK MIND LEADING WITH FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS. I DONT TEASE FATE WITH HIGH RISK BEHAVIOR
Amazing!
Why would you take unnecessary risks with your life? Life is very precious and once it's gone, you can never get it back again.
You're right, when it's gone you never get it back, so why spend it bored and miserable, when you could spend it doing more risky stuff but which actually makes you feel alive? It's different for everyone, and your choice not to do risky things is valid, but it's very personal and up to each individual to decide for themselves
So I’m assuming you don’t travel by car, bike, or plane, correct?
The sad part is that she could have avoided all of these 😢
Don’t really know where you got that from, she had to react instantly and obviously falling out of the sky you don’t have much time to think. She handled it better than most.
@@editsbybee7337 she could have not gone sky diving?
@@editsbybee7337 SHE THINKS SHE'S A BIRD, AFTER THE ACCIDENT , SHE RECOVERED SOMEWHAT AND STILL CONTINUED TO TAKE HIGH RISK, THIS CHICK WON'T MAKE IT TO HER 60TH BIRTHDAY, I RECKON , SHE WILL RIP
She could have said no to the last dive when asked.
Glad she's okay ❤️🤍
This reminds me of a king of the hill episode where Peggy survived a skydiving accident.
brave women altogether --wow you take alot risks--one life --best of luck to you
She so lucky
She has giving a second chance in life
Inspirational!
That must have been very scary.
6 minutes ago and omg i’m so sorry for her 😭
Grand Rising! ☀️ Persevere…life will go on…😌🌸
This is why I don't jump from high places.😅 Glad you recovered ❤
Don’t jump out of planes and you never have to worry about this.
Thx 😊
@@PoptartzGT you’re welcome
Yeah and I don’t plan to either lol 😂
As a scuba diver, I totally admire the people who willingly jump out of planes. Going deep underwater doesn’t scare me at all, but the thought of falling through the sky from that high up terrifies me. I can not imagine having to be in this girls position. Mad respect to all you sky diving psychopaths out there. Stay safe ✌️
What an amazing woman.
God bless you dear!
Wow that’s amazing she survived the skydiving 🪂 but very scary sad😢she’s one lucky person!
I always love to skydive one day but I’m afraid of heights, I don’t know how people would overcome their fears of heights and skydiving.
Same here. I have fear of height.
@@seed.meditation Actually I don’t know yet, how I can tell if I’m afraid of heights? I mean I feel like I am bc I’ve seen so many buildings and high walls/ any surfaces .
And that makes me think oh all that looks scary. I wouldn’t not go sky diving. But at same time I always wanted to try lol
@@Cutiezombie210 Yeah haha me too. Always wanted to do it.
Well, you got the rush you were looking for!
Watching this as I’m about to do my first skydive in a week.
Moral of the story don't tempt fate
Amazing Grace 🙏
I wanted to jump out of a plane but I am deathly afraid of heights. I am glad she survived the accident
This girl has nerves of steel!
holy damn 😱😭😭 girl ur so luckyyy
Jesus that’s crazy
You’re lucky you’re so lucky young lady
I wish you more recovery
and money too, man.
Don’t forget money. 💵💵💵💵
@@LionLThePrince781 okay 👍
The camera men NEVER DIES OR GET HURT I SWEAR
My ex who abandoned his kids sent me a random video of him skydiving and said he loved and missed his kids. I said “too bad your parachute opened”. Lucky girl. 👍🏼
How did she land? I’m curious how one can survive that fall. Like feet first, tuck into a ball, etc
God blessed you! Please don’t waste it. Try to do some good in the world! Prayers for you.
She lived out Peggy Hills anniversary episode. Wow. How incredible she’s here telling her story.
“He/She died doing what they loved” is wrong. In anyone’s final moments, they rather live- not have the parachute fail/bungee cord break, etc.
that's not the point of the saying, obviously nobody wants to get into an accident, it's the activity itself. if I got injured while mountain biking then I had fun before i got injured
Well done she def built for it if all she thought was this is gonna hurt
it was just a matter of time till her luck ran out, this is a sign that she needs to stop skydiving💀
I’m happy she still had a positive outlook. You could die tomorrow getting hit by a car, in the next ten seconds by choking on whatever snack you’re snacking on… might as well live life to the fullest.
I could never
A miracle!!!!!
How TF was she even able to survive a fall that high??? What did she land on to survive?
Grass
Grass, Because if it was hard surface then she would maybe die or get severely injured with bleeding everywhere. Like worse than this.
@@Preppysharkslays I actually thought water cause how can grass break someone’s fall…
@@lucasthegamemasterporterfi84 because she felt hard even if it’s just grass it has a hard surface but with grass it’s kinda not
@@lucasthegamemasterporterfi84 Never aim for the water!
Skydiving 101
Why anyone would want to jump out of a plane is beyond me.. doing something this dangerous will eventually end badly.. you're tempting death everytime you do it.. also why would you jump out of a plane with a trainee when you're somewhat new to this activity yourself?😒...That is like the blind leading the blind. she's lucky she isn't dead...
why would anyone drive a car when there's a chance of dying? Why would you eat food when there's a chance of dying? Why would you LIVE life when there's a chance of dying? Why do anything when there's a chance of something?
@@joshgrimm8443to get from one place to the other? To not die from starvation? Skydiving is not the same thing, its just an ego stroke, "look at me, i jumped from a plane"
Before I hit the ground I would just think of my family
Theres a prettt big case in the UK where a woman was injured by skydiving. Her husband commited the crime and he wanted her dead.
Its amazing she survived.
Life is altered when there is a desire for a thrill.
I see she learned from Peggy Hill!
(Glad shes ok!)
There was another woman who survived this, hit a parking lot, messed up her face/teeth/head. She was skydiving with her husband at the time. I think she quit after her accident.
I hope she's okay.
