>> if i open my parachute and right then the ground was coming at me incredibly fast. i was pretty sure that this was going to end badly. right as the ground is coming right up to me, bang, my parachute opened. within one second, bang, i hit the ground. luckily, i took the impact to my back, where i was wearing full-body armor and a big spine protector, but i hit with such force, i knew that something could be potentially wrong. >> his body armor and spine protector may have saved his life, but they don't save him from serious injury. >> something felt internally messed up. ted crashes at a midway point. his friends continue parachuting down the canyon. he is unable to move. too much of a climb back up the mountain for his friends to help him, so ted waits alone, scared
