Well this is just a little bit scary.

While jumping from 14,000 feet over Australia, a 27 year old skydiver lived through a terrifying ordeal when his parachute became tangled and didn’t open correctly. With the ground rushing ever closer, the skydiver showed incredible quick thinking and cut the twisted lines of his main chute to allow his reserve to carry him safely to the ground.

The skydiver in the Barcroft TV report didn’t wish to be named but, here at JOE HQ, we’ve christened him BigBalls McManlyMan. An apt name we’re sure you’ll agree, especially as the adrenaline junkie went back up in the air to complete TWO MORE jumps.

What the actual f*ck.
