Superman saves freefalling skydiver from certain death [Video]


Superman isn’t an alien, and he certainly doesn’t need a cape to fly.* Check out this amazing video of an Earth-born superman zipping past a freefalling person, and saving his life.




A group of skydivers in England were out doing what they normally do—jumping out of planes, but when a freak accident left one skydiver unconscious in mid-air and freefalling, the group was left wondering who would be valiant enough to save the falling civilian.

James Lee and his buddies leapt out of a plane at 12,500 feet from the ground, and everything seemed normal (as they were all experienced divers) until one of Lee’s comrade accidently kicked him in the back of his head.* Passed out and free-falling, the chances of anyone being able to reach his chute and deploying it were slim to none.* Luckily, there was a Superman amongst the group with some amazing vision and gliding skills, and in a blink of an eye Lee’s chute popped open and his dangling body slowly descended into the English countryside.

“Well, it’s pretty incredible.* When someone is unconscious and tumbling, it’s virtually impossible to catch them,” said Ed Scott, an Executive Director for the United States Parachute Association (USPA).

Lee came to before landing, but had no recollection of a man that was faster than a speeding bullet had come to his aid.
