Skydiving instructor Mike Robinson was one person who found himself in a sticky situation – after a plane collided with the aircraft he was in. Together with eight other experienced skydivers and two pilots from Skydive Superior split between Cessna 182 aircraft, Mike was preparing to make the last jump of the day at 4,000ft in Wisconsin. Each skydiver was equipped with cameras on their headgear – but none knew they were about to live through an event more commonly seen in a Hollywood blockbuster. The two aircrafts were flying in formation and the skydivers had planned to jump in tandem. Mike was travelling in the lead plane with three other skydivers and they had all moved onto the outside of the plane and were poised to jump. Three skydivers in the following plane were in the same position with the remaining two ready inside the aircraft. Suddenly, the second plane crashed into the lead, pinning one skydiver in between the two aircraft.

The divers tumbled into the air as fireball engulfed one of the planes – but luckily both pilots jumped free. Remarkably, none of the jumpers or pilots sustained serious injuries and all landed safely on the ground, enabling them to watch the two planes break into fiery pieces and hurtle to the earth. But danger doesn’t just occur thousands of feet above the air, as Marc Wells and daughter Josie found. Marc had his camera to hand as a deadly tornado tore through his town in Illinois. But when it became clear the category F4 storm – one lower than the most deadly – was heading his way, Marc fled to his underground storm shelter with his daughter and dog. And despite being safe in the bunker, the merciless storm can be heard ripping apart their home in the astonishing camera footage. The 300km/h wind had torn nearby houses into pieces and had destroyed Marc’s home in just six seconds. Caught-on-camera footage can also reveal incredible moments of escape and rescue.

The adrenaline-filled program dispenses with onscreen experts to focus exclusively on the raw footage . One of the most astonishing pieces of footage features in the second episode. A diver in the Gulf of Guinea had been sent to retrieve the bodies of a sunken tugboat. The Jascon 4 had been 30m under water for three days and all 12 members of the crew were believed to have perished. But as diver, whose camera and sound was fed back to DCN diving team in a nearby rescue vessel, swam through the wreckage, he came across the hand of what he believed to be a corpse. He nearly had a heart-attack as the hand suddenly grabbed his own. He said: “There’s someone alive. He’s alive. I almost had a heart attack now!” The hand belonged to Harrison Okene, a 29-year-old Nigerian who had worked on the boat as a cook. Harrison had been trapped in a small air pocket in the dark at the bow of the boat, which lay upside down on the ocean floor. The traumatised man had survived on just a can of Coke for three days, uncertain if help would ever come. His rescuer attached him to an oxygen mask and freed him from the stricken vessel – but sadly he was the only survivor of the shipwreck. The show also explores incredible wildlife footage as an impala flees a deadly cheetah by jumping into an open car window. And Mark Robert, an experienced climber, captured footage as he lost his footing while climbing the near vertical Parsley Fern Gully in Snowdonia and tumbled down the mountainside.
