I think the secondary parachute deployed (it’s much smaller) or the main parachute somewhat helped since it deployed but wasn’t working properly. Either way she is super lucky!
Amazing talk! Also have just read the book, which was very inspiring... the little things that meant a lot, the close friendships & how she loves people, her mums devotion (I'm her mums age) the way she loves her grandparents & how she spoke of her sisters & Jemma .. these things really resonated for me. The way she sees the world which I think is her main message... is very wise & and gift to have. It took me a long time to see the world like this, without any serious accidents I so relate and am reinforced by her story about what really matters in life. Living by the sea, being authentic & cherishing the things we love while acknowledging that life is far from perfect at times. I'm a nurse & also see that side in others as well. Thank you Emma for your voice & story. I wish you a long long life filled with more joy & beauty. And give your mum a hug from me.. she sounds like my kinda person
I _really_ respect her for stressing the point that her recovery was only possible because of the specific nature of her injury. Too many of these inspirational recovery stories skip over that detail and imply (or allow people to believe) that 'anything is possible if you try hard enough' and so on.
Absolutely phenomenal. I read your book ‘the girl who fell from the sky’ and it brought me to tears many times throughout. Wow what a story and what a magnificent representation of gratitude for what we have ❤️ thank you Emma x
‘If you can, you must’ - a great reminder. Similar to what I got taught at school many moons ago… ‘Don’t put off for tomorrow what you can do today’. That’s stuck with me throughout my life. Thank you for the reminder, and for your powerful talk.
I love this. I’m reading your book at the moment and I am also a walking paraplegic. It’s so true that it’s luck as to whether you get to walk again and nothing to do with grit or hard work. Sure am grateful for what my body can do now in a way I wasn’t before. Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you Emma for sharing your story and this inspiring talk . And also thank you for taking on this challenge despite being nervous. You are a great teacher for life!
Thank you so much for your words. Im glad you got to live to tell your story. You have just reminded me of how it felt as I realised I was about to have a head on collision at 100ks,..and another time when I had an ectopic pregnancy that ruptured.. both times I thought I was going to die... thank you for the reminder of how blessed we truly are to have our able bodies and to be alive..
Tears were flowing! If you can you must… this quote that I saw on your instagram over a year ago helped me launch my business and I’m forever grateful. Sending loving energy to you from around the world ❤😂
What an Angel, thanks for sharing your story and your wise words as always Emma. It's made me cried few times. You're such a model for me since few years and I am sure you've changed my life for goods. I hope this little talk will help other people. You're the best.
She is one fortunate lady. Maybe this is why she experienced this incident a decade ago; to encourage others who have not learned how to focus on their perspective on what's truly important to them in life. The one thing she failed to bring up; putting one's trust and faith in the God who could heal. Sometimes our greatest healing is in the mind rather the body, as seen with Emma.
experiencing god as a healer is posible. I have no doubt about it. My own parents are an example for the OPPOSITE. Believing in god kept them away from becoming healed. So my conclusion is: it is again the humans and what they do if something heals or not. To me personal there is no exclusivenes to god to be the only or th best "healer". And if you would live your attitude of knowing the "real truth" absolutely consequently, you would end up KILLING people with a different position. So to me if there is a real universal "good" thing it is TOLERANCE. As one example tolerance that Emma Carey did not talk about god.
@@BillyGates1721 God would have all living a life of good health and a life of abundance. Some however would leave Him if that were the case, due to the allurement the world has for many, and because that person did not have a solid anchor in Jesus our Savior and the scriptures in the first place. I have a sister who was that way. She became complacent in our mutual beliefs and became discontent... only to be lured into the Mormon beliefs 150%. IMHO, it is better that our mind's heart be foremost healed than for our physical body to be, since out of the heart springs forth all that we say and do. However, whatever God does for us, there is a reason.
@@itzcaseykc You made wrong assumptions about the situation of my parents. Their BODIES were healthy. It was and is a problem of their minds heart. Though after you writing "However, whatever God does for us, there is a reason." In doing so, you have declared yourself holy and the others fallible, so that they do not yet understand why God does this to them. This is killing with words.

@@BillyGates1721 Why are you directing so much anger towards me? I didn't do anything to you or your parents. No... you are making claims that do not exist. You misunderstand what I said in generalities and took it personal. You said it yourself, "Believing in god kept them away from becoming healed." That is either your opinion or theirs, but it certainly is a statement I highly doubt that is the cause for not being healed. God sometimes use doctors to heal someone. So what if we aren't healed of a problem plaguing our bodies? The question for all to ask themselves is this, "If I'm not healed, should that keep me from leaning on Jesus and obeying His Law that is meant for our benefit???" The sick we will always have with us up to when Jesus comes in the clouds above, including the poor [Mark 14:7]. I never inferred I am holier than anyone, nor do I know why God does what He does, only that the reason He allow things to happen in our lives are above our understanding. I never inferred someone (or your parents) had done something to not be healed or anything of the like. I myself have not been healed from the damage and injuries I've sustained through the years through no fault of my own, yet I do not blame God for not healing me. What is important is that we all have the responsibility to go to Him so that our mind's heart is healed in order that our character may reflect His own.
I am from switzerland and i choose Australia for a skydive because there wouldnt be anything greater. (She is exactly inversed) Weird how we dont appreciate what we have around us
1. She jumped from a helicopter, so lower altitude. 2. I understand it to be that the instructor pulled the chutes too late and they both got tangled. The tangled chutes still provide a LOT of drag. 3- she would have fallen legs or pelvis first and been pulled forward a bit before fully hitting the ground because of the drag from the tangled chutes. This would have saved her vital organs from being damaged, but obviously destroyed her lower body in the process. I’ve seen a photo of a 100% free fall impact (pro jumper killed himself by jumping from a plane) and he was compressed into a 3 inch pancake. 100% Flat Stanley.
@@markuslouw3727science is super cool with the knowledge you just explained. I probably wouldn’t have thought about those factors. It’s incredible and super interesting how some people can survive such tragic accidents and others don’t. With what happened to Liam Payne a month ago unfortunately, and then watching this Ted talk, it’s kinda crazy to think about. The fact that her and the instructor both survived too is crazy luck. Also nostalgia trip with the flat Stanley comment, but that awful what happened to the person.
@@markuslouw3727the rest of your explanation makes sense but "lower altitude "? After a few seconds of falling it shouldn't make a difference when you reached maximum velocity, does it?
The fact you came out of this and didnt thank God is the most astounding thing to me. You got a second chance, it would be heart breaking if you wasted it... I hope you find true life before your time on earth is over.
I'm assuming she doesn't believe in a god, so thanking a god would be silly. It sounds like she _has_ 'found her true life' , and it is more real than any god belief.
Wow! What a crazy story and what an inspiring young woman! 🥹 Thank you for sharing your experience with the world. I'm sure I'm not the only one for whom hearing this is making a real difference!
A 'amazing wonderful' god that watches with indifference as thousands of children die of disease and malnutrition every day, but steps in to save this woman like it's some sort of magic trick?
this woman almost died and experienced a traumatic event and you’re more worried about the fact that she didn’t mention GOD…A being we aren’t even sure exists? what would you say about those who died in accidents like this? did god just go “yeah i’ll take that one, hmm but save that one!”

The fact she broke no ribs, no arm or neck or skull breaks. Make it make sense! So miraculous. So grateful she is sharing her story.
@@designsforloving wtf r u saying she is lying??

@@NotyourAveragePaki05 I honestly didn't get that impression from reading the original comment.
I read elsewhere that her sternum, the flat bone in the centre of the rib cage, was actually broken.
"We don't have to wait for things to be perfect, in order for them to be good". Message recieved.
Another interpretation of "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good"

Emma is inspiring, I have been following her since seeing her interviewed on Tea With Jules…. A true ray of sunshine, beautiful talk Emma! ❤
Not only did she go on to walk again, but to do many, many other activities...that's for sure!
She is gorgeous. Wow!
Absolutely beautiful. Such a well spoken talk. I'm proud of you girl. xox
Brave and fantastic woman.
SO GOOD!!!!! 🙌🙌
The indomitable human spirit
what an amazing talk.
Wow. Thank you so much.
Thank you for sharing your experience and realizations, Emma. In tears a few times... :*-)
Nice little reminder that....
I am speechless. 😶
Thanx for sharing!.... Tough audience though 😮😢❤
I know right? the audience sucks
Yay Emma!!!!!
The guy in the bar looking hella weird after he tried to hook her up using the "Did you fall from the sky?"
Like how do you survive that fall? People die falling from 100ft! I can't comprehend it, I want to see the science behind it
It wasn't at free fall speed or anything close. But fast enough to be injured.
1. She jumped from a helicopter, so lower altitude.
2. I understand it to be that the instructor pulled the chutes too late and they both got tangled. The tangled chutes still provide a LOT of drag.
3- she would have fallen legs or pelvis first and been pulled forward a bit before fully hitting the ground because of the drag from the tangled chutes. This would have saved her vital organs from being damaged, but obviously destroyed her lower body in the process.

Wow ❤
Shout out to all my aphantasics whose eyes were open during the starting exercise
This woman is a badass.
Amazing story, great talk. Tough crowd, were they afraid to laugh at her jokes or what?
Does anyone know what level her spinal cord injury was?
I think she said she broke her L1 vertebrae. Not sure if that's definitely the level of her spinal damage though
i cant find any info on her instructor
I nearly just cancelled on my walking buddy because I have a cold but fine, I'll go 😅
"If you can you must"
Her brain used more then its normal capacity to heal
The fact you came out of this and didnt thank God is the most astounding thing to me. You got a second chance, it would be heart breaking if you wasted it... I hope you find true life before your time on earth is over.
Just wow. You've found God and you still manage to be so condescending and mean. Your comment is so disheartening and disturbing in so many ways.

I reckon emma carey should have been paid £19,6M for falling 14,000 feet from the sky so £1,400 × 14,000 is fair

Id ask her did it hurt when she fell from heaven 😉
Or an amazing wonderful being called God
Then why do so many people not get better then?
why did she fall in the first place
A 'amazing wonderful' god that watches with indifference as thousands of children die of disease and malnutrition every day, but steps in to save this woman like it's some sort of magic trick?
Nothing about God? Not even a mention?
God doesn’t exist
