Woman's parachute failed - she was traveling 50 mph when she landed face first on the asphalt ~


In 2005, novice skydiver Shayna Richardson survived a harrowing face-first plunge into a parking lot while making her premiere solo jump in Siloam Springs, Ark. 


Then, after the fall, the 21-year-old found out she was pregnant. 

When Richardson made the jump on Oct. 9, her main parachute failed – and then her reserve chute also malfunctioned. Richardson was traveling at about 50 mph when she landed face first on the asphalt, the Associated Press reports.
