Chad Pritchett has been an avid skydiver for over 20 years. Today, April 21st Chad had a terrible accident when his reserve parachute was deployed by his AAD. This created a 2 out malfunction that led to down-planing of both the reserve and main. Chad tried to cut away but was unsuccessful and was driven forcefully into the ground.



Chad was airlifted to Mayo. He will need multiple surgeries in his hips and legs to begin to heal. He has a tibia/fibula compound fracture, a broken femur, broken pelvis, and broken hip. Still waiting waiting on other test results.



To make matters worse, Chad has no insurance to fall back on and this process is going to be long and expensive. Both him and his wife will need to take time off to get him back on his feet. They have 5 children; 3 boys who are out of the house (Marcus, Gentry and Hagen) and 2 younger girls who are still at home (Kendra and Madeline). His family needs all the help you can give right now to get them through this hard time.



The good news is, he was lucky and is still here with us. Please, if you can donate to his family to help with medical costs, the airlift, loss of work for both him and his wife. Anything is more than amazing. Please keep him and his family in your prayers.
