Shayna West Barely Survives 50 Mph Sky-Diving Accident And Was Pregnant
by Jack Ryan

Shayna West, a woman who survived a skydiving accident hitting the payment of a parking lot at 50 mph realized something after the fall. Tuesday on NBC's "Today" show she talked about the incident of 3 years ago, and how she was blessed by another miracle besides surviving. Shayna West was 2 weeks along pregnant when she hit the payment.

West was coming down fast from skydiving, and just like we all fear, her fears came true. Her main parachute failed to open, then as she began spinning out of control she tried her emergency parachute. Her reserve parachute failed as well and she hit the pavement at 50 mph breaking many bones including her face, leg, and pelvis. It's one thing to survive that fall, it's another to have the baby to survive it too.

"Payment" is by far not the only thing wrong with that. I wonder how much the copy editor got paid. Or the writer for that matter.

Though I can image being a little lost for grammar while writing a story about a person who broke her all important face bone. "...breaking many bones including her face, leg, and pelvis."

What about the New Jersey state motto...

Shut up the whole two of ya, or I'll break your face.
Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber.

I'm not ribbing on you. I'm amazed the freakin Today Show can't find something a little newer to talk about.




It's the Today show.... whatever they can't air, they throw over the fence to Springer !

It's been on here since 06. Over and over. Type her name in search
I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
