You do not have much time to say goodbye.

Now there is one we should all remember in our daily lives. We tend to take life for granted.

A British skydiver had a miraculous escape when he plunged 12,000 feet into a blackberry bush in New Zealand after his two parachutes failed.

Read the whole story, of a very lucky man.

Wow!

Ordinarily, I wouldn't call it "lucky" to fall into a blackberry bush, having had some personal and painful experience of my own (and just why is it that the biggest, juiciest berries are always on the other side of falling into the damn bush?). But not only was he lucky the bush was there, he's lucky they were able to find and rescue him before the bush overgrew him!
