Skydiving - Double parachute Malfunction
1 Aug 20. My first high speed malfunction after 366 jumps and my reserved fired through my main risers. Had a bit of a hard landing and only sustained non life threatening injuries.
After a fun tracking jump with my coach, I broke away at 5,000 feet and commenced my deployment. My pilot chute did not deploy my main within the normal delay. I did not look back immediately to see what was happening to my pilot chute. I panicked. I commenced my EP as trained in my home country. This meant that I placed a hand on each handle. I pulled my cutaway first with my right hand, and then pulled my reserve handle very quickly, with my left hand. There was approximately half a second delay between the two pulls. My container was a Talon FS with a single RSL attached. Reflecting back to my packing, I think I folded my pilot chute differently due to a lack of concentration and haste. This may have resulted in the pilot chute delaying in its inflation and subsequent deployment. The lesson for me here is don't panic, delay the reserve pull after the cutaway. Maybe this might have been the cause of the reserve firing through the main riser or maybe not.
I was not prepared for the subsequent malfunction with the two entangled canopies. I wish I had that telescopic hook knife! Rightly or wrongly, my focus was (a) to keep both canopies stable and inflated and (b) land somewhere safe. I thought about deploying my reserve brakes but I chose not to because I feared it may have caused further instability and collapsed or wrapped the canopies. I did not have any control in direction and was at the mercy of the wind. I was lucky to clear a cemetery full of hard marble tombs and a set of power lines (about 2 meters). I pull hard on my right riser with the intent to miss the house and land in the trees. Unfortunately, it was not enough and I set up for a PLR in the farm house's driveway. As I descended at what seemed at a 1:1 ratio, I was heading straight towards the back of a car and had to abort my PLR. I put one foot out to deflect off the car, then ricocheted off the car and body slammed on the ground on my back. I did not loose consciousness but I was winded for about 3 minutes. In the end my only injury was an ankle injury.

That landing is like a T-10C jump with 150 pounds of gear every time, except for house and car.
Glad to see you made it. Those three cells of your main saved your ass. Thanks for sharing
Scary. I'm glad you made it man.
Good to see that he didn't finally end up in the graveyard (figuratively and literally speaking). Those gravestones in the cemetery to the right of the approach looked VERY HARD INDEED!
That’s what I was thinking
Thanks for sharing your exploits I'm glad you're ok.
At least you didn't have to go look for your main. Glad you alright chief.
There has to be better hobbies than jump off from fully functioning aircraft..
You ever been in a skydive plane? Lol😊
@@mauriziodilorenzo1269 it was flying 😀
could have landed on the trampoline!!!
😅😅
Love this
That went from unnerving to terrifying as the reserve started folding up.
everyone should try cutting away on the ground.there needs to be some slack in the cable so it doesnt release accidentally and the rig might shift around your shoulders so the cable only just comes out at full arm stretch.a spinning malfunction requires more pull on the cutaway...when you get a reserve pack job ,a nice rigger will encourage people to put the rig on and pull both handles..see if you can hit the wall behind you with the springloaded pilot chute from 3 or 4 metres away,far enough to get out of the burble.i replaced a weak spring on an old rig
You are very lucky
Boss moves 🙌🏽✨
You alllllmost made it to the trampoline and a billion views.
That trampoline would have been interesting ! But I was kind of hoping to land in those trees to my right.
@@mauriziodilorenzo1269I don't blame ya. I thought you were gonna make em. They would have been pretty comfy vs the grass I bet. Totally impressed regardless. When I saw your reserve riser start flyin' back up to the canopy I got a lump in my throat. Thought for sure you were going to end up like Dead Mike.
Looks like the same force of landing that paratroopers endure
That trampoline was so close. Imagine that 😅
Double malfunction? D'OH !!!!
oulala....affreuse séquence, le cauchemar de tous parachutistes. heureux que vous ayez pu atterrir sans trop de dommages, l'angoisse que la voile ne se ferme totalement avant d'etre au sol! l'adrénaline fait son boulot et empêche la panique, bravo ! En revanche je n'ai pas bien compris la séquence, vous avez ouvert votre parachute principale et la réserve est partie en même temps? ....ou la réserve s'est déclenchée toute seule au moment ou vous étiez en train d'ouvrir la principale? vous ne semblez pas être assez bas pour une ouverture automatique de la réserve....de plus il semble que vous ayez libéré la principale...bref je ne comprends pas bien ce qui s'est passé. j'espère que êtes remonté dans un avion assez rapidement.
So glad you made it thru that, If I'd been underneath that looking up I honestly wouldn't have known what else to do, when the slider on the reserve pulled all the way up and the nose closed up I honestly thought I was watching a fatality in progress. Still can't quite work out how the main got hung up, maybe the rsl was involved? If it's any consolation, I had a pilot chute in tow on an old free fall round with a chest mounted reserve and, beyond looking round and dipping a shoulder to try and clear it, I absolutely did not hesitate getting the reserve out. I was a student with 50 jumps at the time, and the student drill on rounds is completely different - no cutaway! Having come to a dead stop from terminal on deployment of the tiny lifesaving but leg breaking I24, I watched as my main bag broke free and tumbled away underneath me and then very lazily began to inflate despite my efforts to try and pull it in. I assumed I'd be OK, round on round. What could go wrong? The main started spinning counterclockwise wise and wrapping itself around the reserve like it was on a mission, it had a mind of its own, it made one full turn around and started collapsing the reserve before I managed to separate them, after which the main continued spinning for the next two minutes. I landed in a heap with a massive knot of main risers above me and a shakey wobbling reserve bouncing off the main in front of me. No injuries other than some lurid bruises! So, nothing compared to what you went thru, I saw the rate of decent toward the end and thought this is probably going to end badly, and next to a cemetery, appeals to my grave humour😂 But seriously, main/reserve entanglement square on square is not good, so glad you made it. Blue skies😊
You dont realize how lucky you are. Blue skies my friend
Is it in the Loire Valley ?
It is
glad you're ok, although it's kind of ironic that you missed a trampoline that was just a few meter away XD
where's the dropzone?
ok, we did some geogssring and it's Saumure + did you guys know that he landed in the church yard?)
yeah you pulled waaaaaay to fast on the reserve chute release pull, after pulling on the release pull for the main chute you gotta wait atleast 2 sec.
almost landed on the trampoline
''and he went back up on the next load''
Glad you're ok. This is one of the worse situations. Not only is this scary, but at time 2:49 that looks like you were about to land in a cemetery. Even worse!! lol
I did not understand what happened , why the 2 chutes got together
This is my question exactly.
Kids, that's why you need to cut away before deploying your reserve. Joke aside, I am glad you are ok mate - blue skyes
Does he landed near cemmentary?
Almost. Missed it by 150m
It didn't matter ! There was the cemetery right next to it, just in case !!! 😊😊😊
This could have gone so much worse... my god. Glad you are okay. Really scary stuff 😫
I know man! I was very lucky!!
Where is the Problem - You have not one, but Two Parachutes Open! ;) Blue Skies!
@cameraflyer of course buddy! This is a joke! :)
And he still hung on to those handles.🎉👏🙌🥳
💪
Did you have a hook knife?
I did. But by the time I processed what had happened, the lines were out of reach. :(
Thats why I learned to pull the cutaway with both hands and afterwards pull the reserve with both hands aswell.
Yep. That’s how I will be doing it in the future.
Hey Maurizio Di Lorenzo, do you have an email address at which we could contact you regarding this video? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible? (i.e. via email) :) Cheers, Felix
nothing like staring death in the face! like literally nearly landed in a graveyard @ 02:52
Almost hit the trampoline!
He fell so fast. OMG
Man, thank goodness you're ok.
Thanks!
@@mauriziodilorenzo1269 Of course, sir! I've recently become passionate about skydiving and watch as many videos as I can on the subject as I want to learn as much as I can. So thank you for posting this video about your experience. You were in a vulnerable position and it's truly generous of you to share it with us!
😃😃😃😃😃
Vegas told me about this. Thought it was cap
Always listen to Vegas.
dude you almost died next to a graveyard
stop your videos... it's really not great!
Very funny Justin!!!
It is time to get right with Jesus. You aren’t going to automatically enter into heaven if you have lied or stolen or had premarital sex. Even one of those makes you worthy of hell fire. Don’t deceive yourself! The punishment of sin is hell fire. Jesus died so you can get a clean slate and forgiveness of a future sin when we confess it. When you start to follow him you have to strive to obey what he commands. No one will enter heaven without the blood of Jesus over you. No other way but through Jesus
vi mal o eso que se ve al final, al costado de donde caiste es un cementerio? ahi con las lapidas y cosas de marmol no era para un aterrizaje forzoso, alguien de arriba te dio un empujon para que no caigas ahi. Saludos y espero que estes bien.
Jeeeeesus Christ I’ve never ever seen anything like this! Wow. Glad your ok.
Thanks.
Goodness. Glad your still with us. You kept your cool and kept working.
Thank God for 3 open cells and an apple tree - We take what we can get sometimes 😂
