Holy s**t.

The Daily Telegraph have posted a video of the moment skydiver James Lee was knocked unconscious while hurtling towards Earth at 12,500 feet.

When he collided with one of his fellow divers over Wiltshire, Lee was knocked completely unconscious and had no way of operating his parachute.

Thankfully, his condition did not go unnoticed and two friends of his quickly went to his aid.

Lee regained consciousness before he hit the ground, but had absolutely no recollection of how close he came to death.
