QUEENSLAND, Australia -- Dramatic video from Australia shows a skydiver's reserve parachute becoming snagged on a plane wing mid-air over Queensland.

The video was released on Thursday, December 11 as part of the findings of an Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) investigation into a skydiving incident over Tully Airport on September 20.

The parachute jump was part of the 'Big Ways at the Beach' event where experienced parachutists completed large group formations.

The ATSB said 17 parachutists were on board, ready for a "16-way formation jump" from 15,000 feet.

As the first parachutist climbed out of the aircraft to jump, the handle of his reserve parachute snagged on a wing flap, damaging the plane's "horizontal stabilizer."
