Debbie Williams (c.1956) is an American teacher from Post, Texas who was involved in a famous skydiving incident on April 18, 1987 in Coolidge, Arizona. ==Incident== On April 18, 1987, while skydiving with a group of people, Williams collided with fellow parachuter Guy Fitzwater at 9000 feet and was knocked unconscious. Instructor Gregory Robertson, seeing her falling to her death, dove toward her, and caught up with her at 3500 feet, ten seconds from impact; he pulled her rip cord at 2000 feet, saving her life. She suffered a skull fracture, broken ribs, and an injured kidney, but survived. The incident received wide attention〔(Skydiver saves life at 3,500 feet in the sky ), Associated Press in ''The Bonham Daily Favorite'', 24 April 1987〕〔("A Miraculous Sky Rescue" ), ''TIME'', 4 May 1987.〕 with Robertson receiving many awards and the event itself being reenacted on episodes of ''Rescue 911'' and ''It's a Miracle''. It was also listed for years in The Guinness Book Of Records as the lowest midair rescue ever.
