In September 1999, 47 year-old Joan Murray was on a skydive from over 4400 metres. Her main chute failed and by the time she got the reserve to deploy she was just 305 metres from the ground. Not only did she hit the ground at around 130 kph but Joan landed directly on a fire ant mound and suffered around 200 bites. Amazingly she survived the accident and was back skydiving in 2002. Doctors put her miracle survival down in part to the extreme adrenalin response by her body as a result of being attacked by the fire ants.
