This unbelievable video shows the terrifying moment a French paraglider’s chute FAILS -- sending her plummeting into terrifying FREEFALL. <br /><br />Maud Perrin, 20, was attempting a manoeuvre known as ‘twisted infinity tumbling’ when disaster struck. <br /><br />A timing miscalculation led to Maud falling into her canopy and becoming twisted in her parachute's straps. <br /><br />The quick-thinking paraglider pulls her reserve chute as she plummets to the ground, but it FAILED to open. <br /><br />Maud then had to put all her hopes in the second reserve shoot opening as it was the only thing stopping her from falling to her death. <br /><br />Luckily, the chute opened and, after initially becoming entangled in the mess of cables and straps, Maud managed to even herself out in the skies over Ölüdeniz, Turkey. <br /><br />Maud, a freestyle paragliding pilot, said: “I tried a manoeuvre called 'Twisted infinity tumbling'.<br /><br />“During the attempt of the manoeuvre I fell into the canopy after pulling on the wrong timing and then trying to pull both of my reserves. The first one did not open so I had to pull my second reserve.<br /><br />“I was just managing the situation. The only moment I was thinking-otherwise I was just acting - was when I saw that my first reserve did not open - and I had to get the other one out.<br /><br />“At that moment I thought 'this is basically my last chance so it has to open'.<br /><br />“The second reserve opened. I ended up in the water and the boat came to pick me up. <br /><br />"Olu Deniz is a place you can take more risk trying out new stuff because you have high altitude and there is the rescue boat to come and pick you up.<br /><br />“After watching my video over and over I was thinking of the right way to pull out my reserve so it would have opened or opened faster.<br /><br />“I also saw what I did wrong in the way I was pulling on the breaks, so I don't do it that way anymore. <br /><br />"I tried the manoeuvre again over the lake in Annecy and it all went well. Now I am able to train it over the ground.” <br /><br />The footage was captured on October 23.
