Pregnant skydiver's surprise bump
By Tim Reid
An American woman survived parachute failure on first solo jump — then learnt she was expecting
AN AMERICAN skydiver whose parachute failed to open has spoken of the double dose of good fortune that followed her terrifying plunge to earth. Not only did she survive the 50mph impact, but she then discovered that she was pregnant.

Shayna Richardson, 21, was making her first solo skydiving jump when she began to have trouble with her parachute.

Hurtling towards a parking lot in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, Ms Richardson hit the asphalt with her face. Although severely injured, she managed to survive — and soon discovered that it had not quite been a solo skydive.
