This video is pretty scary. YouTube user Nomadic Adrenaline, who uploaded the video on March 1st, claims in the description that during a 12,000 foot jump he suffered a seizure. The seizure, which is uncomfortable to watch, came at about 9,000 feet – around 1:03 in the video. Thankfully the jump master realized something was wrong and was amazingly able to grab and pull the rip cord, essentially saving the life of his student who regained consciousness at 3,000 feet.

"Possibly the scariest moment of my life. On the 14th of November 2014 while doing stage five of my Accelerated Free Fall program I have a near death experience. At around 9000 ft I have a seizure while attempting a left hand turn. I then spend the next 30 seconds in free fall unconscious. Thankfully my jumpmaster manages to pull my ripcord at around 4000ft. I become conscious at 3000 ft and land safely back to the ground."
