Extraordinary footage shows the moment skydivers narrowly avoided being hit in mid-air by their plane as it spins out of control seconds after they jumped from it.
The dramatic moment was filmed by videographer Bernard Janse van Rensburg as a group of skydivers jump from the aircraft over Mosselbay, South Africa, on Thursday, October 14.
As they jump, the plane stalls 16,000ft in the air, loses control and starts plummeting to the ground, narrowly avoiding a major collision with the falling sky divers who were preparing to create a formation.
The pilot managed to regain control of the aircraft and landed it safely.

The clip, filmed by a videographer with the skilled skydiving team, shows the group preparing to jump from the plane.
One skydiver opens the door and the team prepares its positioning and timing in order to carry out the skydive formation successfully.
After a few moments flying with the door open, the videographer moves out and onto the tail of the aircraft as other skydivers start making their way out.
Initially, eight divers and the videographer jump from the aircraft which instantly starts spinning out of control.
As the skydivers begin plummeting to the ground, the plane starts nosediving and spinning around in circles.
It falls below the divers before levelling off directly underneath three members of the team who appear to be falling towards its path.
Moments after the skydivers jumped out, the aircraft stalled and began freefalling and spinning before the pilot managed to bring it under control and land it safely
The skydiving team was attempting to complete a formation in the sky when the aircraft they had just jumped out of lost control. They still proceeded to complete the stunt
Fortunately a midair collision is avoided, but the aircraft continues falling and spinning away from the videographer's view.
As it rocks from side to side, another skydiver is seen jumping from the aircraft before it
