Default luckiest woman of the day....parachute deployed wrong and she lives.

Skydiver jumps - chute fails -

she fires the reserve chute - it pretty much fails - and she's spinning out of control and hits the parking lot face first at 50mph.

she's prays to god to not make it hurt when she dies, but when they get to her she's sitting up and asking if she's dreaming. (although she says she can't remember doing this....I suppose not..)

she's alive and so is her 2 week old fetus. Yes, in the hospital she found out she was pregnant...whoops.

Luckiest woman of the day.

she's a cutie too - the footage of the fall has to be seen to be believed. - Her fellow jumper caught it and he's screaming at her as she spirals out of control - unreal.

EDIT: - OK - she's a cutie in the original dive footage - the Early Show footage, well, Jeez - her face hit the damned pavement at 50 mph, but she'll recover, I'm sure, just like that Supermodel who survived in the Asian Tsunamni and is as hot as ever.

Glad it had a happy ending.
