A Chilean woman plunged to her death while skydiving in Brazil Saturday when both her main and reserve parachutes failed to deploy correctly, horrifying footage shows.

Carolina Muñoz Kennedy, 40, was captured on video plummeting to the ground as she spun wildly out of control.

Bystanders on the ground watched in shock as she fell, eventually slamming onto the road in Boituva, Brazil.

Kennedy had tried desperately to fix the faulty parachutes, but she only continued to fall at horrifying speed.

In the footage, her form disappears behind the tree-line as the rest of the speechless skydiving crew stands on the ground in horror.

Kennedy had attempted an emergency procedure during the fall. She miraculously survived the fall itself and was treated by paramedics at the scene, but later succumbed to her injuries at a nearby hospital, as reported by the Sun.

Witness José Soares de Melo described to local media the moment their group found the doomed skydiver.

“She was lying there on the ground waiting for help and people were calling the fire department and the police,” Soares de Melo said.

“I felt incredibly sad, shocked.”

Police launched an investigation following Kennedy’s death and seized her high-performance skydiving gear for forensic analysis.

She was not a first-time diver, either. Kennedy had made previous jumps, even earlier that day, with the fatal fall slated to be the last one before wrapping up for Saturday.

Kennedy was registered with the Brazilian Skydiving Confederation, which will also prepare a report on the causes of the accident.

“At this difficult time, our thoughts are to our dear colleague, her family members and the entire parachute community,” the BSC told local media.

“We reiterate our commitment to the safety and integrity of all those involved in our sport.”

Friends and family took to social media to mourn Kennedy.

“Darling, I still can’t accept your departure, the friend so beautiful, intelligent, kind, friendly. I hope that wherever you are, you can fly and do your thing with so much passion,” Marisel Karina Pacini Lepe, a friend of Kennedy’s from Chile, wrote on Facebook.

“See you later. Hugs to heaven, friend!”
