A skydiver has serious fractures and suspected spinal injuries after neither of his parachutes opened. The 32-year-old landed in a paddock in Wilton, in the Macarthur Region of NSW, and lost consciousness on impact. CareFlight’s Rapid Response helicopter landed at 2.15pm to meet NSW Ambulance paramedics giving treatment. An ultrasound was taken to assess internal injuries and the man was given pain relief. He has suspected spinal, pelvic and lower leg injuries. NSW Ambulance Inspector Sylvia Malecki said the man “should buy a lotto ticket”. “He was extremely lucky not to sustain more significant injuries upon landing,” Malecki said. “Considering the scare the man just had, he was in reasonably good spirits. He was taken by road to Liverpool Hospital in a serious condition.
