Don't wear your GOPRO on your helmet

Two college buds of mine were avid skydivers (while in college). They said that 90% of the deaths/accidents/injuries are a result of people trying tricks or fancy maneuvers (usually too close to the ground to recover).

That guy did get lucky.... that reserve chute sure did take its own sweet time to open, though.

While the cam obviously complicated his problems, you could clearly see him stall out his chute and lose control going into a flat spin. I doubt he would have recovered either way. The helmet cam just gives another angle to view his stupidily risky stunt. And a slightly less entertaining one since the other camera gives a perfect view of his panicked expression.
