Man spends 30 seconds unconscious freefalling after suffering a seizure whilst skydiving

The diver was hit with a terrifying seizure mid-air

One man spent an entire 30 seconds completely unconscious after suffering a seizure whilst in the middle of skydiving.

The diver totally passed out before waking up to realise that he was falling from over 12,000 feet in the air.

He called the ordeal the 'scariest moment of my life'. Check it out:

It was just another day for one skydiver, Christopher, when he had a bone-chilling 'near death experience'.

After doing stage five of his Accelerated Free Fall program, Christopher went through one of the most terrifying moments of his life.

The diver jumped out of an aircraft from over 12,000 feet in the air accompanied by a jump master - yet something totally unexpected took place during the descent as he attempted to take a left-hand turn.

He can be seen falling from the helicopter with all limbs evenly spread making eye contact with the jump master when, all of a sudden, something goes terribly wrong.

Within seconds, Christopher's body started convulsing as he was rotating and spinning around in the air totally out of control.

He spent the next 30 seconds in free fall unconscious.

Luckily, the hawk-eyed jump master instantly knew something wasn't right with Christopher and immediately hurried over to him to assist.

The jump master was somehow thankfully able to pull Christopher's ripcord at around 4000 feet in the air whilst he was still unconscious.

The diver was able to regain consciousness at 3,000 feet and 'safely managed' to land the parachute.

Christopher called it: "Possibly the scariest moment of my life."

The lucky skydiver posted the footage to his YouTube channel, aptly named Nomadic Adrenaline, which has since amassed over 2,000,000 views.

More than 18,000 people rushed to the comments to share their reactions to the terrifying moment.

Some couldn't even begin to imagine how scary the moment would have been for the very fortunate diver.

One person commented: "Imagine waking up midair and you're falling in the sky," one envisioned, "It would make me have another seizure."

Another revealed: "Imagine regaining consciousness and realising you're literally falling from the sky! I would have then had a heart attack on top of the seizure."

Many more flooded in to commend the jump master 'hero' for saving the diver's life.

One YouTube user wrote: "The man who pulled his chute is a hero."

"Bro you do realise you just saved a man's life right?," another added, "you deserve a big shiny medal for your act of heroism."

A third continued: "Not all heroes wear capes."

Talk about quick thinking.
