Army parachutist survives after spiralling out of control during Eastbourne display

A skydiving exhibition turned into a moment of sheer terror after a jumper lost control of their parachute.

A harrowing video captured by a bystander in Eastbourne shows the skydiver plummeting thousands of feet.

The jumper, who is part of the Tigers Army Parachute Display Team, was taking part in the Airbourne: Eastbourne International Airshow on Aug. 16.

Miraculously, the skydiver "suffered only minor scratches and grazes," the team said.
