Newly released footage from Australian authorities shows a skydiver dangling from an aircraft's tail after his parachute snagged during a September stunt south of Cairns. The heart-stopping incident occurred during a planned 16-way formation jump at 15,000 feet. The skydiver was flung backwards, striking the plane and even knocking a camera operator into freefall. Hanging thousands of meters in the air, the jumper used a hook knife to cut the parachute lines and free himself, surviving the terrifying ordeal.
