THE last seconds as a skydiver comes tumbling out of the sky to his death have been captured in heart-stopping footage.
The video shows the skydiver leap from the plane, falling towards the ground at break-neck speed in a tragic fall that ultimately claims his life.
At the beginning of the footage, the daredevil can be seen throwing himself from the plane but barely 30 seconds in the skydiver tries to release his parachute and finds the lines hopelessly tangled.
In the dizzying head-cam footage, the skydiver is thrown to and fro in the air as he desperately tries to control the blue and white parachute.
The 36-year-old then tries to throw his second parachute but it appears to be similarly tangled, forcing him to try to untangle the lines.
In the last moments of the video, he can be heard to cry out in fear.
The man was rushed to hospital but died in the ambulance.
The skydiver is understood to have jumped out over the Gatchina district in the Leningrad region with the fateful incident taking place on August 5.
It is believed he jumped out over the village of Nikolskoye.
It has been reported that the man jumped from the Novgorod DOSAAF plane.
Saint-Petersburg authorities are now investigating the man's death.
