A first-time skydiving adventure went horribly wrong when Scott Lutz's main parachute separated and flew off. Although he managed to open his rescue parachute, he then crashed into a high-voltage power line. Miraculously, Scott escaped with only minor injuries. What caused Scott to steer his parachute straight into a high-voltage line and how in the world did he survive a 12 thousand-volt shock? An electric safety expert and a behavioral psychologist perform spectacular experiments that get to the heart of this shocking mystery.
