And I was looking at moving to the city because I'd just gotten a job at a commercial radio station in Melbourne.

And that was my foot in the door as a producer for a breakfast radio show for commercial network.

What I survived

I did feel some anxiety and I felt some fear and some jitters, but I put that down to just anticipating what I was about to do, which was jump from a plane.

What I survived
Surviving a 15,000 Foot Freefall: Brad's Impossible Story

But also in typical Brad fashion, I brought my entire family there.

What I survived
Surviving a 15,000 Foot Freefall: Brad's Impossible Story

We're a very close, tight-knit group.

So I had my mom, my dad, my three sisters, their husbands, and my niece and nephew, and my boyfriend at the time.

It was a beautiful intention, but it ended up being quite tragic having them all there.

What I survived

Even when we got to the airport, there were all these delays.

What I survived
Surviving a 15,000 Foot Freefall: Brad's Impossible Story

They kept saying, oh, we're going to have to push a jump, push a jump.
