double front flip. i knew something was wrong within a couple seconds of the trick happening. i threw this trick with a little too much inertia. when i started to come out of the second flip, i had too much momentum, and i started to overrotate that flip and go upside down backwards, facing the wall. completely unsafe body position to deploy my parachute. >> he needs to rotate himself face down for a chute deployment. he doesn't have enough time. >> i was very scared. i knew i was going to be eating up precious time and needed to get things figured out quickly. a lot of things were going through my head. mainly just make it through this. get the parachute out, you got it, live, live, live. >> with his safe landing window closing in fractions of a second, ted successfully rotates his body face down. but it's too late.
