22-year-old Australian, Christopher Jones, suffered his first epileptic seizure in four years, when skydiving for the first time before being rescued by his instructor. He described the instructor, Sheldon McFarlane, who saved his life by pulling his parachute whilst he was having the seizure, as "amazing". The boss of the skydiving company involved, Rob O'Neill, said "Sheldon did a great job" but added he "was acting within his capabilities" as "that's what he's there to do". Christopher added that this will be the end of his solo skydiving career. This clip is originally from 5 live Daily on Monday 2 March 2015.
