Watch as a base jump takes a dangerous turn when a parachute misjudgment sends the jumper crashing into trees.
Sajid Chougle, an aerosports professional from Mumbai, India, captured the intense moment during a late evening jump from cliffs in Norway.

A sudden gust of wind adds to the difficulty, leaving him unable to correct direction in time. Within moments, he collides with trees before coming to a stop.
Despite the crash, he escaped with only minor bruises, with a rescue operation taking around five hours to reach him.
The clip was shared on Instagram where one user commented: "I always wondered what can go wrong in this sport.. man its something."
Another added:"Glad to see an imperfect jump be safe and beautiful. Reminder of life"
Sajid said:"I happened to do a late evening base jump in the cliffs of Norway and had borrowed my friend's equipment for this jump.
"Due to the size of the parachute being slightly bigger for me, I wasn't able to turn the parachute in time as compared to my own equipment.
"The slight gust of wind also added to compounding the issue. I was too late to correct my direction and couldn't save myself from crashing into the trees. The rescue took about five hours. I did not break any bones, just a few bruises on my body."
