Fortunately hurt his ankle, not his hands...

On this day in 1962, a certain James Marshall Hendrix was honourably discharged from the 101st Airborne Paratroopers after breaking his ankle during his final parachute jump. We just thank the Gods of Rock he didn’t injure his hands. The ex-paratrooper would go on to become one of the greatest guitarists of all time – Jimi Hendrix. Who takes top spot in your best guitarist list?
