About this programme

4/4. Real-life stories of people who have stared death in the face and lived to tell the tale. They include a stunt pilot who lost a wing when his aircraft collided with another, giving him seconds to bail out before the plane hit the ground, a teenager buried under 6ft of sand on an American beach and a ski-base jumper who broke every bone from her hips down when a stunt went horribly wrong. Plus, a shark turning the tables on a fisherman, and a parachutist in a tangle after being hit by a flock of birds. Last in the series.
