12:18 pm

overturned car, mike escapes uninjured. some of his rescuers have minor burns. >> they all, you know, singed their arms a little bit, and if them guys 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. 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 heart beat. when i first showed up at the race track, 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 made a surprisingly speedy recovery. >> the car really didn't sustain any injuries besides, you know, cosmetics. the miracle of the night, i guess you could say, is we got the car back together 25 minutes later. s. >> there was no fuss about it. he was ready to go.

. i'm richard lui. swuf state john kerry is offering condolences of the u.s. united states assistant rather to nepal in the weak of an earthquake that killed at least 1,100 people. the quake triggered an avalanche on mount everest that killed at least ten climbers. crowds are gathered at city hall for a rally to protest the death of 25-year-old freddie gray while in police custody. gray's funeral is monday. now back to "caught on camera." ever had that nightmare where you are falling from the sky? well, wake up. this is really happening. >> i remember thinking in my head this is it. this is how we die. >> why? >> sky diving instructor michael holmes is on his big -- he has a
12:34 pm
camera built into his helmet to capture first time sky divers as they make their disent. >> but you wouldn't be watching this on "caught on camera" if it were any other day. mroo immediately i started spinning out of control. >> for holmes this actually isn't cause for concern. it's happened to him eight times before. yes, eight. >> i thought it was out. the main parachute is not functioning right. i'll get rid of it. i pulled the cut-away handle, and that's meant to release me
12:35 pm
from the parachute. >> it's crucial to get rid of the main chute backup. otherwise, the two can get tangled causing the second chute to malfunction as well. when holmes pulls the release cord the main parachute doesn't detach. >> i was shocked. i was, like, this is not good. i knew that it wasn't a situation that i could really survive. 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 jumpeded and is videotaping a client's dissent when he notices that holmes is spiralling 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
12:36 pm
slowly his descent. if he pulls the reserve parachute and it gets caught up in the mangled main parachute, it could not only not open, but also interfere with the drag he has and actually speed up his descent. >> is he going to make it better? now it's -- slow it all down and crisis averted and it could reduce his daying. definitely, definitely would hurt. >> holmes takes a calculated risk waiting until he is below 1,000 feet to pull the reserve. >> below 1,000 feet i'm dead anyway. i was, like, here we go. i'll grab the reserve. nothing to lose now. >> i'm going to die, i'm going die trying. that's what i did. >> just as holmes feared, the chutes get tangled. he picks up speed and spins
12:37 pm
faster hurdling towards the ground at more than 50 miles an hour. >> i remember thinking in my head this is it, this is how i'm going to die. oh, you're kidding me. this is the way i'm going to go. [ bleep ]. >> 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. >> it's quite a lot of emotion before it 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 it 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.
12:38 pm
>> he was calling out to me and went for a response he didn't hear anything. he was expecting to see a body. not a body that was still able to talk. >> i broke my left ankle in quite an impressive way. it was severe bruising all over me. it was blackberry bush inserted into me, and i collapsed my lung. >> the horrific experience and ensuing injuries are not enough to keep holmes on the ground. after an eight-month recovery, he returned to his sky diving job performing ten to 15 jumps a day. >> it's all just lack to normal. i have done it since i was 17 for work and a every single day i go to work, i just love it.
12:39 pm
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 are close to the ground. >> it's one of the most daring stunts you'll ever see. 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 tv stunt man as well as an avid base jump earnings connor is no stranger to high flying feats. >> jumped from the eiffel tower and ridden a bmx bike, and
12:40 pm
inside the millenial dome. >> each of those times he used a parachute. this jump is different. if he succeeds, he will be the first person ever intentionally to sky dive 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 then 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 notice fly much, much slower. >> connery's idea of slow may be different from yours and mine. even with the wing suit, he will hit the ground at nearly 70 miles an hour. still, he is planning to cushion his landing using, of all things, a massive row of boxes.
12:41 pm
>> cardboard is amazing stuff really in terms of breaking one's fall. it was 350 feet long at 42 feet wide, and probably about 12 feet deep. >> a team of more than 100 friends and supporters expenses all morning building the landing area before connery puts it and himself to the test. >> i remember walking with my wife across the helicopter and we had a big hug and a squeeze and cuddle, and a kiss. she walked off in tears. 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 stack one on top of the other. nearly half a mile into the sky.
12:42 pm
certainly the feeling or the thought that this could be your last few moments goes through your mind. >> connery takes the plunge. above him, another jumper catches his descent on a helmet cam, while connery supporters take video from the ground. connery maneuvers his suit to direct him towards the target. he has a parachute he can deploy, but below 100 feet, it won't do any good. >> connery passes into the box.
12:43 pm
for a few tense moments the crowd isn't sure he is okay. then he emerges without a scratch. connery sets the world record for the highest sky dive without a parachute. >> 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 themtsz every so often, and i'm no different. it's just that my testing maybe goes a little bit higher. >> coming up -- >> holy. >> an unexpected takedown. >> i was absolutely horrified. i didn't know if he was going to
