Summary
This episode recounts Joan Murray's harrowing 1999 skydiving accident where both parachutes failed, leading to an 80 mph impact. Miraculously, she survived thanks to fire ants whose bites kept her adrenaline pumping. Despite 20 surgeries and a two-week coma, Murray made a full recovery and, astonishingly, went on her 37th skydive just a few years later.Episode description
