Insane skydiver close call caught on camera — VIDEO

This was definitely too close for comfort.

Video from the handheld camera of a skydiving instructor with a woman attached to his chest shows the two jump out of a plane and begin their descent. Perfectly normal, right?

What happens next will blow your mind.

The instructor looks up and it’s easy to tell that there is something that he can’t take his eyes off of.

The video slows down to show that the plane they had just jumped out of turns and heads straight for them.

The plane barely misses the two skydivers. And I mean, barely.

The instructor even notes that the drogue parachute (initially used to slow their descent) and the cord connecting them to his parachute are caught on the wing.

When watching the event in real-time, you can even hear the sound of the airplane’s engine over the rushing air.

As if skydiving wasn’t scary enough by itself.

Luckily, the two land safely and are able celebrate their survival with high-fives and a hug.
