A skydiver filmed the heart-stopping moment his parachute lines became twisted as he plunged towards the ground during a 13,000ft jump.
Marine engineer Toms Vajeika, 30, was taking part in a skydive alongside his girlfriend and 25 others over Faro, Italy, on July 11.
Footage shows the daredevil leap confidently out of the plane to join the others in the stunt.

When the parachute snapped out of its casing he cursed as he realised the lines were completely tangled
As he reached speeds of up to 120mph on his descent he released his parachute.
But footage shows his feet spinning in the air and Mr Vajeika can be heard cursing as he realised the lines were completely tangled.
The clip then swaps to his girlfriend’s headcam, which shows Mr Vajeika wrestling to get his parachute under control.
While still spinning he managed to grab hold of the lines to stop them twisting further.
The skydiver then calmly untangled the parachute while falling through the air.

Mr Vajeika, from Riga in Latvia, managed to regain control of the parachute in time for a safe landing in a field alongside the rest of the cohort.
Posting the clip to Instagram, he wrote: ‘Sometime it’s good, sometimes it’s s**t!’
The video also showed Mr Vajeika’s girlfriend’s descent, demonstrating what was supposed to happen when the parachute opened up.
Mr Vajeika, an experienced skydiver, recorded his 200th jump on June 12 and also lists kiteboarding, snowboarding and hockey as hobbies.
