>> caught on camera, brace yourself. >> a small plane struggles to stay aloft. and a pilot desperately looks for a safe place to land while the lives of everyone on board, including a 7-month-old baby, hang in the balance. february 2nd, 2013, logan, utah. kara fielding gets into an airplane for the first time in her life. >> the flight was a birthday present from my parents. i had just turned 22 years old and they arranged this with a family friend of hours, who agreed to take me up. >> since the single engine cessna seats four, kara brings along her mother and her husband, jonathan. he suggests they also bring

their 7-month-old son, jacob. >> i almost begged, hey, let's bring jacob along. let's -- this will be so much fun. everything will be fine, i'll hold him. >> so i relented and let him bring him up. and that was the most scary part about it, is knowing that he was in the plane with us and not buckled. >> in the air, the five of them take in utah's magnificent landscape. >> the weather was the best weather we had had in weeks. it was really exciting. >> but about half an hour into the flight, the pilot has some worrisome news. >> and the pilot let us know that something was wrong. >> there's carburetor ice. >> ice has formed on the carburetor, cutting off the engine from his fuel supply. >> i didn't believe him, because i know he's a little bit of a jokester, and it was my first time. >> but this is no joke. >> the engine had severely lost power. he did everything that he was supposed to.

he had the carburetor heat on and he pulled it out, even more, to try to rid itself from the ice. >> it's too late. at 8,500 feet, the engine stops running. >> he told us that we're going to have to make a landing out here. we're not going to make it back to the airport. >> the pilot can still steer the plane, but he can't keep it from descending. >> the plane just started gliding, kind of like being on a roller coaster without the rails underneath you. things were really wrong and i started praying, because that's what i know to do. >> jonathan has a different response. >> i started videoing shortly after he let us know that there was a problem. i just had the thought, you know, i think i might want a recording of what i was thinking, what was going through my head. >> he only stops recording when the pilot needs help. >> he told us that we needed to find a place to land. >> we had about four minutes to look out the windows and look

for places. >> a road would be ideal, but there were so many power lines and the roads turn too quick or there were cars, so he told us that we needed to look for somewhere where we could bring the plane down and not involve other people. >> the pilot spots a snow-covered field. everyone on board braces for the landing. >> just got a prayer in our heart and i think we're going to be just fine. >> jonathan holds his infant son in one hand and starts recording video again with the other. >> as i was filming, i was fully expecting just this smooth landing. >> my mind kind of seized up, i was thinking about jacob, who's in the back, and not in a seat belt. >> are we really going to land out here? >> well, right now, we're looking for a place to land. we're looking for a straightaway.

all right, we're going to land in the field, right here. >> is everybody okay? >> yeah. >> when the plane crashed, it was like a whole blur of black and white. everything just spun around. >> the snow is too deep for the plane to glide across the field. the front wheels dig in. and the back somersaults. they jolt to a stop, upsidedown. the camera slips out of jonathan's hands and lands in the front of the plane, still recording. >> when we came to a rest, my very first thought was, i have to get this buckle off to get my baby. >> kara's head slams into the ceiling during the crash, and now she dangles by her seat belt with her feet in the air. but her mothering instinct shuts out any pain or trauma she may be feeling. without a second thought, she unlatches her belt.

>> i jumped out and screamed for jacob and got him and once he was in my arms, i was okay. >> i mean, he didn't even have a single scratch. i held on to him the entire time. >> in fact, no one is seriously injured. >> i've just survived a crash landing. >> we were all fine. we just got a little bit of whiplash. >> jonathan. >> afterwards, i grabbed the phone and just documented what was going on. >> kara, you okay? >> yeah. >> you going to ever fly again? >> yeah. >> the crash has really affected my life. i feel like i've had a second chance, you know, to live. i definitely spend more time with jacob, because i could have lost him. >> it's really given us a second chance, really, at appreciating what's most important, and to

us, it's family. >> in the end the only casualty of the crash is the airplane. >> the plane is completely totalled. it was beyond repair. >> the pilot's insurance lapsed at midnight the night before. >> all right, we're going to land. >> jonathan and kara have posted the video of the crash online, hoping it will generate income from youtube ad revenue and licensing. they plan to use their profits to reimburse the pilot. >> he really saved our lives by his experience and knowing what to do. this place could have been our burial ground, right out there. pilots don't always have time to prepare for a crash landing. brace yourself, this plane's going down. >> i thought i was going to die. sunday, august 12th, 2012, ida, michigan.

terrifying moment on camera. >> holy [ bleep ]! >> the plane clips a telephone wire, sending them into a nosedive toward the grass. >> and i just braced myself. it was very, very scary. i literally thought i was going to die. and i was just like, okay, here we go, this is it. >> i had no time to do anything, but ride it out. >> the wing hits the ground first, then the nose crashes down at a 45-degree angle. >> grandpa, are you okay?! >> ian's phone continues recording audio in the frantic moments after the crash. >> holy [ bleep ]! holy [ bleep ]! grandpa, are you okay?! grandpa, are you okay?! >> my first thought was, wow, this really just happened. how am i not dead? and then, i looked at myself, i was like, okay, everything's

working, you know, my body's in tact. >> grandpa, are you okay?! grandpa, are you okay?! okay. holy [ bleep ]! >> i was just like, okay, we've got to get out of this plane, because it could blow up. >> ian dislodges himself from the wreckage, because his grandfather is stuck. his legs trapped by equipment that collapsed around them on impact. >> so he lifted my 230 pounds out of the doorway and helped me get out of the airplane. luckily, for both of us, we did not have any fire, so we were able to get out of the plane without any further injury. >> help soon arrives on the scene. >> i was just excited that i was alive. he was mainly just mad because he crashed it. >> i felt very sad, instantly, very exasperated, sad. how could i have done this? i'm done flying.

i'll never fly again. >> the plane was a wreck. >> but ian's biggest concern is his grandfather's health. >> right in the middle. >> okay. >> he could be hurt from, you know, internal bleeding or injuries. i was very scare escared. he's been one of my greatest mentors throughout my entire life. he's taught me so many things and i don't nowhere i would be without him. >> doctors give willbert three stitches in his knee and treat him for a fractured sternum. though doctors examine him thoroughly, ian has nothing more than a few small scratches on his shins. ian and his grandfather both recover fully. >> i do have a new outlook on life. i easily could have died. >> ian takes every opportunity to share his video of the crash with friends. >> i use it as a way to show people that, you know, you only have one life to live, so, you know, just try to make the best

of it. >> as for willbert, he just wants to be back in the sky. >> if i had those thoughts of never flying again, i have since canceled them out. i love to fly and i feel i'm capable of flying and i'm going to fly that airplane again, too, because i've already started rebuilding it. coming up -- >> i'm thinking to myself, don't panic. you don't want to die today, stuck in a car. >> when "caught on camera: brace yourself" continues. how much k you'll need when you retire? then we gave each person a ribbon to show how many years that amount might last. i was trying to, like, pull it a little further.

>> august 28th, 2013, layton, pennsylvania. mike is where he loves to be every saturday night, behind the wheel of race car at the mahoning valley speedway. >> i got interested in racing but a my dad raced for probably 30 years. by the age 11 i already learned how to drive a car. >> age 26, mike has been racing stock cars for eight years. it's even how he met his wife, marlaina. >> my father was actually on his grandfather's pit crew. he was very honest with me when we first started dating about how racing was his first love, will always be his first love, and that was that. >> it's a passion more dangerous than most. >> i do get nervous a lot, but i know, push comes to shove, he's going to be all right, because he's a good driver.

>> marlaina usually watches mike race, but on this night, she's at home while he competes. >> i'm pregnant and that's part of the reason i stayed home that night. >> mike's cousin, colton perry, is in the stands with their grandfather, taking video of the race. >> uh i go every saturday. he's pretty fun to watch. >> another camera records from inside the car. about one minute into the race, mike, in car number 83, is falling behind. >> we were actually running second last, i was trying to work my way up through, and all i remember seeing was a car coming down the track, and thinking, man, i'm going for a ride here. and as soon as we touched wheels, i was up in the air. >> flipping over is fairly common in stock car racing. at first, mike isn't worried. >> the impact really didn't hurt. it was an everyday accident.

even though it was my first time going on my side, it was, all right, go through your driver checklist and start getting out of the car. >> although mike turns the engine off, fuel drips into the car. >> i saw the fuel dripping out of the carburetor, i figured, if i can get my belts off, i'll climb out of the car. >> because he's on his side, mike has trouble removing his seat belt. fuel continues to leak, threatening to ignite at any moment. >> the pit crew rushes to help him. >> hang on. >> they started ask welcome are you all right? i kept telling them, yeah, aisle fine, but i'm stuck in my seat belt. can you stand the car up so i can release it. >> as they heave the car upright, it bursts into flames. the camera continues recording, while the fire spreads. >> i was trapped. it crossed my mind that i could die. >> when the fire started, i was

actually really afraid. i didn't want to lose him that day. >> but the time they got it on all four wheels, it spread pretty quick. the last couple of seconds, i could see anything in front of me except for yellow. i'm thinking to myself, don't panic. if you panic, you're slowing yourself down. just get out of the car as quick as you can. you've got family here, you've got friends here, you don't want to die today, stuck in a car. >> in the stands, mike's cousin and grandfather can't see if he's okay. >> it was just a big ball of fire surrounding the car. >> i was really scared at that moment. >> behind the wall of fire and smoke, a racetrack staff member pulls mike out of the car. >> he's out of the car. >> i did feel in the last couple of seconds, somebody's hand come in and kind of guide me, you know, this is a way out. as soon as i felt that, that was the way i went. >> after 13 seconds in the overturned car, mike escapes

uninjured. some of his rescuers have minor burns. >> they all, you know, singed their arms a little bit, and if they would have all got scared and let that car go, it would have fell back on its side and the fire would have kept getting fuel dumped into it and i probably would have ended up dying. >> as soon as i got a phone call as to what actually happened, i was there in a heartbeat. when i first showed up at the racetrack, i had people going, oh, my god, thank god you weren't here. that was the most horrible thing we ever saw. i was very shaken up at that point. michael was not shaken up at all. >> mike's car also makes a surprisingly speedy recovery. >> the car really didn't sustain any injuries, besides, you know, cosmetics. the miracle, i guess you could say, is we got the car back together 25 minutes later. >> there was no ifs, ands, or

buts about it, he was ready to go. >> less than an hour after his car turned into a fireball, mike's back on the track, competing in another race. he comes in fifth. >> i wanted to kick the scare in the butt before it had a chance to sit in. i definitely had my greatest fear realized and lived through it >> later that night, marlaina sees the video recorded inside the car during the crash. >> i couldn't handle it. i literally walked out of the house crying. >> but she still won't get between her husband and his race car. >> i know that's what he loves to do and i would never ask him not to race. >> a true racer has no fear about getting in that car week in and week out. coming up -- get ready for impact. and later -- a relaxing family vacation? >> never again, grace elizabeth! oh, my god!

the air bags deployed, cushioning the driver's landing. >> frankly, i was surprised that we didn't have a fatality. >> they identified the driver as 58-year-old mark moreland. >> i think he was in quite a bit of shock. he was talking, but he wasn't making sense. from the time that i arrived on scene, it was about 15 minutes to stabilize mr. moreland down in the creek bed, put him on a back board, and he was lifted out with the use of a ladder truck over on to the highway. he was then placed into an ambulance that was ready to transport him to the hospital. >> while moreland is rushed off for emergency care, police are left wondering why he sped off the road at more than 60 miles per hour. >> at that point in time wher, started looking at the scene with some of my investigators. >> eyewitness accounts, along with the trail of debris, offer up some clues.

>> he didn't slow down or make any evasive turns or anything like that. he just kept his speed. mr. moreland suffered some sort of medical incident prior to him getting launched into the ravine. mr. moreland suffered a partially collapsed lung. he had a lower lumbar fracture and a fractured ankle. >> the driver is expected to make a full recovery from his injuries. >> i was actually very surprised when i found out the driver was still alive, because i had thought for sure that he was either in critical condition or like dead because it was such a crazy thing. >> we were very fortunate this was a single car accident, no one else was hurt, we didn't have any other residual damage. >> police don't learn about stack's video until a couple of days later, when it goes viral. >> when i saw the video, it just

solidified what we were seeing at the accident scene. live video is a wonderful thing, but i would encourage people not to videotape and drive at the same time, because you're putting other people in harm's way. >> flynt believes that moreland owes his life to airbags, his seat belt, and auto engineering. >> technology is a wonderful thing. we have a vehicle that's designed to crumble away, protecting the victims, and it was all captured on videophone. what a wonderful world we live in. coming up -- >> this is it, this is how i'm going to die. >> man versus gravity. >> the thought of this could be your last few moments does go through your mind. >> when "caught on camera: brace yourself" continues. meatball yelling c'mon, you want heartburn? when your favorite food starts a fight, fight back fast, with tums.

the day. he has a camera built into his helmet to capture first-time skydivers as they make their descent. >> it was beautiful conditions and just felt like any other day. >> but you wouldn't be watching this on "caught on camera" if it were any other day. >> things started to go around very soon after i activated my main parachute, like, almost immediately. >> holmes' parachute fails to open properly. >> immediately, i started spinning out of control. >> for holmes, this actually isn't causing for concern. it's happened to him eight times before. yes, eight. like all skydivers, he has a reserve parachute. >> i thought, oh, no big deal, the main parachute is not functioning right, i'll get rid of it. so i pulled the cutaway handle, and that's meant to release me from that parachute.

>> it's crucial to get rid of the main chute before opening up the backup. otherwise, the two can get tangled, causing the second chute to malfunction as well. but when holmes pulls the release cord, the main parachute doesn't detach. >> i was shocked and i was like, this is not good. i knew it wasn't a situation that i could really survive. because you're not trained for this to happen. that's just not something that's in the book, really. >> above him, holmes' colleague and friend, jonathan king, has just jumped and is videotaping a client's descent, when he notices that holmes is spiraling out of control. king catches a second view of the action on his helmet cam. holmes faces a tough decision. his main parachute, while malfunctioning, is slightly

slowing his descent. if he pulls the preserve parachute and it gets caught in the mangled main chute, it will not only fail to open, but it could interfere with the little bit of drag he has, and actually speed up his descent. >> it's either going to make it better, you know, it's either going to have the magic, open, slow it all down, crisis averted, or reduces that drag, and definitely that would make me dead. >> holmes takes a calculated risk, waiting until he's below 1,000 feet to pull the reserve. >> below a thousand feet, i'm dead anyway. and i was like, here we go. and i grabbed the reserve, and i was like, well, nothing else to lose now. if i'm going to die, i'm going to die trying, so that's what i did. >> just as holmes feared, the chutes get tangled, he picks up

speed and spins faster, hurtling toward the ground, at more than 50 miles an hour. >> and i remember thinking in my head, this is it, this is how i'm going to die. and i was like, you're kidding me, this is the way i'm going to go? >> oh, [ bleep ]. i'm dead. >> in the seconds before landing, holmes remembers the camera on his helmet and uses it to memorialize what he thinks are his last moments alive. >> bye! >> quite a lot of emotion in that last bit, because i thought i was going to die. >> holmes crashes through a thicket of thorny blackberry bushes and into the ground. >> i remember seeing the ground coming up, and then, straight away, once i hit the ground, just went black and i was blacked out. >> moments later, king lands nearby, not sure if his friend is dead or alive.

>> he was calling out to me and waiting for a response, he didn't hear anything. >> mikey! >> he was expecting to see a body, not a body that was still able to talk. >> you okay? >> no. >> i broke my left ankle in quite an impressive way. there was severe bruising all over me, there was blackberry brush inserted into me everywhere, and i had collapsed my lung. >> bye! >> the horrific experience and ensuing injuries are not enough to keep holmes on the ground. after an eight-month recovery, he returns to his skydiving job, performing the 10 to 15 jumps a day. >> it's all just like back to normal. i've done it since i was 17, could work, and i love every single day i go to work.

i just love it. it's my life, i love it. >> as long as his parachute functions properly, it's a good day. but for this guy, jumping without deploying a parachute is the whole point. >> one mistake, when you're close to the ground, and you're done. >> it's one of the most daring stunts you'll ever see. and it's caught on camera. may 25th, 2012, england. gary connery is preparing to jump out of a helicopter at 2,400 feet without using a parachute. a film and tv stunt man, as well as an avid b.a.s.e. jumper, connery is no stranger to high-flying feats. >> jump from the eiffel tower, i've ridden a bmx bike, done

nelson's column, the london eye, inside the coliseum dome. >> each of those times he used a parachute, but this jump is different. if he succeeds, he'll be the first person ever intentionally to skydive without using one. connery spent months working with a designer to create a custom wing suit. >> wing suits are basically suits made of simple material. they're double skin, and thaen you've got air intakes up on the shoulders here. so it kind of inflates like a double air bed. we made it much thicker, so it allows me to fly much, much slower. >> connery's idea of slow may be different from yours and mine. even with the wind suit, he'll hit the ground at nearly 70 miles an hour. still, he's planning to cushion his landing using, of all things, a massive row of boxes.

>> cardboard is amazing stuff, really, in terms of breaking one's fall. my box break was 350 feet long, about 42 feet wide, and probably about 12 feet deep. >> a team of more than 100 friends and supporters spends all morning building the landing area, before connery puts it and himself to the test. >> i remember walking with my wife, across to the helicopter, and then we had a big hug and a squeeze and a cuddle, and a kiss. she walked off in tears, and that caused me to be in tears. >> it's no surprise connery's wife is concerned. between the years 2000 and 2012, more than 50 people died in wing suit jumps. the helicopter climbs to 2,400 feet, the height of two empire state buildings, if you stacked one on top of the other, nearly

half mile into the sky. >> certainly, the feeling or the thought of this could be your last few moments does go through your mind. >> connery takes the plunge. above him, another jumper catches his descent on a helmet cam, while connery's supporters take video from the ground. connery maneuvers his suit to direct him toward the target. he has a parachute he can deploy if he thinks he might miss, but below a hundred feet, it won't do any good. >> as i approached the box break, and getting to that point of sort of no return, where one has to make a commitment or not, i remember everything just settlin settling. >> connery crashes into the boxes and disappears in the pile for a few tense moments, the

crowd is unsure if he's okay. then, he emerges without a scratch. connery sets the world railroad for the highest skydive without a parachute. videos from local news and spectators hit the internet within minutes and go viral. >> i wouldn't say my life has changed dramatically. i'm certainly being asked to do things that in the past i wouldn't have been asked to do. >> things like parachuting, dressed as the queen of england, into the opening ceremony of the 2012 summer games in london. >> i think everybody likes to test themselves every so often, and i'm no different. it's just that my testing maybe goes a little bit higher. coming up -- >> holy suckers! >> an unexpected takedown. >> i was absolutely horrified. i didn't know if he was going to
