    Dec 11 2025
    A skydiver became entangled on a Cessna Caravan's tail after his reserve parachute accidentally deployed at 15,000 feet near Tully, Queensland in September. The experienced jumper, Adrian Ferguson, used a hook knife to cut himself free from the aircraft and successfully deployed his main chute despite remnants of the damaged reserve parachute.
