Skydiver in 12,000ft fall survives


A British skydiver had a miraculous escape when he plunged 12,000 feet into a blackberry bush in New Zealand after his two parachutes failed.

Michael Holmes, 25, from Jersey, was filming a group of other parachutists on the freefall shortly before he crashed into rough scrubland at Five Mile Bay. He sustained lung injuries and a broken ankle.
