A skydiver filmed the heart-stopping moment his parachute jump almost went tragically wrong when his line twisted at 3,000-feet.

Luke Spencer was free-falling at a speed of around 160mph when his chute opened at 3,000 feet above the Oxfordshire countryside.

He had jumped out of a small plane for a 12,500ft skydive when the wind force sent his parachute spinning in deadly circles towards the ground.

He desperately tried to unravel the parachute cords as he hurtled to earth and had just seconds to save himself from death.

'The opening was bad and put me into a deep dive and spin towards the ground.

'This gave me seconds to correct the fault and avoid collision with my fellow jumpers. Scary times,' he said.

But Luke managed to untangle his line and land safely.
