About this episode

It's April 2015 at four o'clock in the afternoon at the Nether Avon airfield Wiltshire south west England. A group of Skydiving enthusiasts are taking off on their accent to 4000ft for a jump. among them was 41 year old Victoria Cilliers a veteran skydiver with thousands of jumps to her name.


Today however would be her first jump in over a year, she had not long given birth to her second child. Skydiving for Victoria was not just a hobby, in fact she had said that it was her life prior to marriage and having children. On this day her husband Emile, who was also an avid skydiver had said he would stay on the ground to look after their two children so she could enjoy her birthday present.


Victoria was excited for the jump, fist bumping with the others inside the small plane. Another skydiver James Rankin was also jumping that day and remembers telling Victoria he was feeling a little apprehensive about such a low jump, she reassured him he would be fine.

What she couldn't have known was that her own life was about to be changed forever.
