Video shows skydiver being rescued while suffering seizure

Instructor opens man's parachute

PERTH, Australia – A dramatic rescue was caught on camera after a man suffered a seizure while skydiving in Australia.

Christopher Jones, 22, suffered a seizure at 9,000 feet, just moments after jumping from a plane.

Fortunately, his instructor Sheldon McFarlane, who has jumped more than 10,000 times, was able to come to his recuse.

McFarlane grabbed Jones with one hand and then used his other hand to open Jones' parachute.

Jones regained consciousness at about 3,000 feet and was able to land safely.
