Leonardo DiCaprio couldn’t have been more correct when he told Vanity Fair: “If a cat has nine lives, I think I’ve used a few.” The actor seems to have a penchant for getting as close to death as possible, whether it be in the name of making films or for the pure adrenaline rush. The “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” star admitted he almost fell to his death during a skydiving adventure when his instructor didn’t immediately secure the parachute.
“It was a tandem dive. We pulled the first chute. That was knotted up. The gentleman I was with cut it free. We did another free fall for like another 5, 10 seconds,” DiCaprio recalled. “I didn’t even think about the extra chute, so I thought we were just plummeting to our death. He pulled the second, and that was knotted up too.” Eventually after multiple tries, with the rest of the group far above him, the instructor was able to shake the parachute free midair.
After the parachute finally opened, DiCaprio said the harrowing dive had even more surprises. At the speed he and the instructor were descending, he was warned to brace for a crash landing. ” … He said, ‘You’re probably going to break your legs on the way down, because we’re going too fast now,’” DiCaprio recalled. “So after you see your whole life flash in front of your eyes — twice — he says, ‘Oh, your legs are going to get broken too.’ We did, like, this barrel roll. We got bruised up, but no broken legs.”
