6 Spellbinding stories of skydivers and parachutists who stared death in the face and survived, following a variety of aerial mishaps. It's the worst of nightmares. You jump from a plane with a parachute on your back, pull the ripcord and - nothing happens! The parachute fails to open and you are hurtling to the earth at over 100 miles an hour….

Dead Men's Tales recreates some of the sky's great escape stories when the nightmare really happened - and the parachutist survived. Except you won't believe you are watching a re-enactment - Leo and Mandy Dickinson's reconstructions and stunt-work are used superbly to re-create toe-curling incidents. The terrifying moments were filmed so expertly you will truly believe you have an insider's view of what it's like to stare death in the face. You will see just how much the Dickinsons' creative camera work and the eye for detail make a difference. This is edge-of-the-seat stuff. Don't look down!
