Original Message A 16-year-old girl has survived after plummeting more than 915 metres (3000 feet) to the ground in a skydiving accident in the US.

Dr Jeffrey Bender, a trauma surgeon at the University of Oklahoma Medical Centre, said Makenzie Wethington is recovering after the jump where she hurt her liver and broke her pelvis, lumbar spine in her lower back, a shoulder blade and several ribs in Saturday's fall. She also has a broken tooth.
