When two planes carrying a total of 9 skydivers collided mid air, 12,000 feet above Superior, Wisconsin. The wings disconnected from one of the planes causing a fiery explosion. All 9 skydiver landed safely, as well as the two pilots, one of which was taken to the hospital to treat minor cuts

Skydiving has always been something I said I would never do - this just helps confirm that.

So the pilots had parachutes on and got out of those planes?

"HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY BE EXCITED TO BE IN A MIDAIR COLLISION?!?"

"I have kind of a weird bucket list..."

getting out of that spinning plane must have been quite difficult

If they were going for some great footage with fancy stunts involving 2 planes, they were quite successful.

Insane. I wonder if any of those people, after seeing the planes hit and feeling the impact and falling, had a split second reaction of "wait, am I dead?".

the adrenalin rush had to be pretty boss as well

Jump pilots are required to wear a pilots parachute, although most of the pilots of planes I've jumped from just leave them unbuckled in their seats.

I know, right? Sucks.

for us non jumpers how do you think the pilot got out in that scenario? I imagine it has to take brute strength to fight the spinning of the plane

Did the pilots get arrested?

Well, finally an answer to the age-old question "Why would you jump out of a perfectly good airplane?"

Well, I would say a bit of luck was involved, but just got out when the plane turned in his favor.
