Beatriz Martinez-Martin is recovering after surviving a skydiving accident which she initially feared might have paralysed her. I saw people running towards us and I was just like: Help me, help me." The University of San Diego (USD) student was taken to hospital after the January 10 incident and had surgery 10 days later. I'm really blessed and really grateful for New Zealand and the way people are here. The student said her tandem had repeatedly apologised since the accident but Martinez-Martin had no grudges about the "freak accident".
