A man has died after a parachute jump went tragically wrong early today.

Skydiver Luke Aikins is gearing up to step out of a plane at 25,000 feet - but this time he will not be taking his parachute with him.

If you’re scared of heights, look away now.

A Texas girl on a dream skydiving trip to celebrate her 16th birthday narrowly escaped death on her first jump when her parachute malfunctioned at 3,500ft and she crashed to the ground.
