WELLINGTON, Feb 13 (Reuters Life!) - A New Zealand parachutist who survived a fall of 15,000 feet after his chute failed to open has released amazing footage of his near-death plummet filmed by a camera attached to his helmet.

"Everyone says your life flashes before you eyes but for me...it didn't really happen," Michael Holmes told British television station ITN in an interview accompanying his video.

"I was just frustrated that this was the way I was gonna die and that was it," he said.

Holmes, 25, made headlines around the world after surviving the fall during a routine jump over New Zealand's Lake Taupo on December 13, 2006. A camera attached to his helmet captured his plummet, which was aired in New Zealand on Monday.

At 4,000 feet Holmes discovered his main parachute would not open. The reserve also did not work properly.
