26-year old first-time skydiver Daniel Levi Cave was attempting a static line jump -- in which the skydiver is attached to the plane with a tether that automatically pulls the rip cord -- at the Bremerton airport near Seattle, Washington, when his parachute failed to open properly.

He survived the 3,500-foot plunge with only a broken leg, broken jaw and some internal injuries, having experienced extraordinary comfort as he prayed on the way down, according to a report in WorldNetDaily.

Cave said he remembers seeing an "airplane hanger, chain link fence and container trailers." Remarkably, officials say, "he hit a soft patch of ground, saving his life."

Cave told Matt Lauer of the "Today" show that he made a last-minute plea to God. "I said, 'OK, well, I trust you, I believe in you, and if there's any way, I'd love to see my family again, so help me out here.'"

Cave continued: "And I just felt - I got to say, I just felt like the biggest hug in the world and just this warm embrace. It was the most amazing thing ever. And, at that point, I thought, either way, this is going to turn out good, so . . . and here I am. I don't know how."

He told KING-TV in Seattle, "How I lived . . . I can't explain why I'm not just mush."
