On September 25, 1999 she jumped from an altitude of 2.7 miles but her parachute could not open. The backup parachute opened on time but deflated soon afterwards and she fell at the speed of 80 miles per hour, onto a heap of fire ants. She was stung by the fire ants more than 200 times. This caused an abundant release of adrenaline in her blood; therefore, her heart kept on beating. She remained in a coma for two weeks at Carolina Medical Center. She survived after 17 blood transfusions and 20 reconstructive surgeries.
