The Crown Prince of Dubai cheated death during a skydiving festival when he managed to untangle his parachute cords at 3,000ft in the air.

Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum's cords twisted during high winds leaving him out of control as he fell to the ground.

The 31-year-old's head camera captured the dramatic moment he struggled to free the cords.

Why thank God? If you want to live on the edge you take your own chances.

if he was killed it would have been his own fault.
