Haunting footage captured a skydiver tragically falling to his death after forgetting one vital thing – his parachute. <\/p>\n

Ivan McGuire was said to be on his third jump of the day in April 1988 and was feeling excited about filming a parachuting lesson at 10,000 ft in the air. He grabbed his camera, to film a student and an instructor from the Franklin County Sports Parachute Center, and jumped from the plane – not noticing his fatal error. <\/p>\n

McGuire, 35, sadly filmed his own demise as the camera was still recording while he was falling. Prior to his deathly accident he had completed more than 800 successful jumps. <\/p>\n

His footage captured the haunting few moments before he made impact with the ground. It appears that he reached to pull his parachute as the Earth got closer and closer but that is when his terrifying realisation hit. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The final words McGuire said on the recording were: "Oh my god, No!" His body was later found in the woods around one and a half miles from the airfield that he took off from. <\/p>\n

At the time, pilot Mark Luman was investigated to see if he had checked to see if McGuire was wearing a parachute. FAA inspector Walter Rigsbee said: "There is a regulation, No. 105, that states that no one may jump unless the pilot checks the parachutes."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nancy Fayard, wife of the parachute centre's owner Paul Fayard, said at the time: "No one was aware that he got on the plane without a parachute. Of course no one knew or they would have stopped him."<\/p>\n

However, foul play and suicide were ruled out and it was later decided that McGuire simply forgot his parachute causing an accidental death. It is believed that he may have mistaken the camera equipment for the parachute as it had a comparable mass and weight, in a sad and unfortunate mix-up. <\/p>\n
