If you’re having a Monday and can’t remember what it is to feel anything – let alone a rush of adrenalin coursing through your veins – look no further than the following video, in which we witness a trainee skydiver suffering from a mid-air seizure while free-falling above the Western Australian town of Pinjarra.
Per a report filed by the ABC, the man – known simply as Christopher – was reportedly a model student halfway through a skydiving training program when, while attempting a left hand turn, he suffered a seizure that saw him free fall in an unconscious state for thirty seconds.
Christopher describes the experience thusly:

At around 9000ft I have a seizure while attempting a left hand turn. I then spend the next 30 seconds in free fall unconscious. Thankfully my jumpmaster manages to pull my ripcord at around 4000ft. I become conscious at 3000 ft and land safely back to the ground.
This is terrifying:
