Health Minister Terry Lake plunges from plane over Kamloops

KAMLOOPS – B.C.'s Health Minister and Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake fell out of a plane… on purpose.

A YouTube video posted by Kamloops Skydivers shows Lake at Kamloops Airport, getting ready to take the plunge from high up in the sky.

He tells the skydiver he brought his brother and wife with him to have "one last look" at him.

Lake gives a thumbs up before heading into the plane he jumped from, and the fall was recorded.

He called the experience "unbelievable" and "incredible."
