"I fotally f'ed up.." dude, your composure saved your own life and the careers of those "instructors". You're s badass for remaining stable all on your own on your very first jump
Crappy instructors, kudos to a rather gifted freefaller. Many other AFF 1 students would have panicked and tumbled/spun until the G force knocked them out. This guy actually managed a semi-stable state by not flailing unnecessarily. And he actually achieved a stable body position before the instructors caught up with him. Incredible.
If you arch firmly, your body should assume the aerodynamic characteristics of a badminton shuttlecock, and you should automatically flip over into the stable body position. Spinning however is a totally different problem which arching might not solve. You'll need to lower your shoulder and look away from the direction of the skid.
Ang Chong Yi Looks to me that each instructor tried to twist the student in a different way when they jumped out of the plane. That is why they lost him, right?
Student lost the instructor? That's pretty much a F'd up jacked up incorrect title there mate. Students don't know how to fly yet.....that's why they're in AFF. INSTRUCTOR LOST THE STUDENT!!!!!!!
I can hardly believe it's common practice to just grab a hand full of sleeve when you have someone's life on the line,which at least one of the instructors had a hard time doing anyhow..They lost their student,anyone can clearly see what happened.
Well done to both instructers? Really. You dont BOTH lose a level 1 student on exit. Im sorry, but this student did what any level 1 AFF student does, he got sensory overload on exit..and then..his instructors fucked up and lost him. Thats what happened.
I'm not sure about the sensory overload causing all this. It seems he miss stepped a little causing hi to go out of balance on the exit. And yes the instructor =s lost him and that girl is really an arse! She played the cool one at the end of the video when in fact she and the other, fucked up big time! I bet she never say sorry to the guy because people like her never do! This reminds me of a story in the Mediterranean see. I was scuba diving there on a charter boat owned by a friend. I was with another very experienced diver and we changed our plans because we were caught in a giant white storm as soon as we turned the corner of the island, f*cking up our dive plan. So we went back to the boat taking our time. Once there the my friend the captain asked me if we wanted to stay in the water to watch over a guy doing a scuba discovery with two instructor. He must had no trust in those instructors for asking us that... So we were there at the bottom, about 15 feet below those 3 and watching while relaxing when I saw the new guy showing some intense stress. But the instructors kept pushing him even tho it was evident the guy was close to panicking so I rapidly closed the distance and, just at the moment I arrived, the poor guy went into total panic seeing both instructors were keeping him under against his will. So the panicked guy threw away his reg from his mouth!!!! I just had the time to take hi away forcefully from these two morons and save the guy from drowning. The worst part was on the boat after. The instructors were female and male (like here) played down the whole thing and acted like if they were the top hot shots in the world. Not caring about the poor guy, not for even one second. They simply ignored him.. That girl in the video here had the exact same attitude as the scuba diving instructor. I filled a report against these two and wrote that it was even a close call for attempt murder since it was obvious the guy wanted out but they forced him.... Their C-card (instructor level) were taken away from them after the board reviewed their case. We, unfortunately, see this in every sport/activity. Those instructors should not be allowed to keep going... Lives depends on that!
Most unstable instructors ever... are they genuine instructors or just some mates who thought it was a good idea? No instructor I ever jumped with was this pathetic!
Student goes wrong and loses instrurtor? No, excuse me but who lost the student was the instructor. It worked out because the student believed in position and before the instructors reach it, was already stabilized fall.
+Suricato Taliban Yes indeed! He did an excelent job consdering the situation and the terrible exit. And the instructors only could get to him because he got a great recovery.
+StefanH26 he screwed up before he fixed it. AFFIs are amazing fliers and give you the best chance of not dying if it all goes to shit. It is one of the best ways to learn.
How stupid can you get! Two small, lightweight instructors with this Monster Guy. Jesus H. Christ, he's going to fall like a brick - and he did! They were lucky to catch him.
My first jumps were military (static line). It actually worked out well for me, because the number of things going through your head can be overwhelming enough on your first exit. It allowed me to get the jitters under control prior to AFF.
Pull priorities: 1. Pull 2. Pull at correct altitude 3. Pull at correct altitude and while stable If you lose one instructor, continue diving. You should never lose your main chute instructor. If you lose two instructors, pull. Land and drive home and never return to that DZ. The instructors should be doing the same thing after jeopardizing your safety.
Pay attention when they teach you about keeping your 'arch'. That's what will keep you stable. You can see a perfect illustration of this in the video. When he wasn't arched properly, he was falling fast and unstable. Watch closely and you can see him arch and go into a stable freefall at a speed where the instructors could catch up.
To be honest, if that was my first AFF jump, I'd punch out the instructors as soon as they landed and demand a full refund for the full course. Total loss of faith in em!
Usually students are required to jump with an AAD which will deploy the parachute automatically if necessary. And yes, they teach you the basics and procedure for opening and controlling your chute.
i did my first aff a few weeks ago and i pretty much did the same thing he did on exit. i messed up the count so the three off us all exited at different times and ended up unstable, but i give credit to my instructors because they held on and the only thing i was thinking at the time was ARCH!! so we ended up stable within about 5-10 second and had a great rest of the dive.
Looks like that happened in DeLand. The "briefing" in this school before the first AFF-jump is so intensive, that no student forget the "arch-look-reach-pull"-system for the rest of his life. So also this student found himself after same chaotic seconds in a pretty stable position.
All Student parachute rigs are equipped with an Automatic Activation Device (ADD) which will deploy at around 1500 + feet if the student fails to use ripcord. All students are instructed on how to land. All AFF 1 students ware two radio recievers which the instructors use to direct their landing. Instructors always land before the student. Go to a Drop Zone and watch. It is fun and skydivers are friendly folks.
This just reinforces my opinion that students should be required to take time in a tunnel before going out, if it's reasonable for them to do so. Students freaking out once they get in the air just piss me off immensely, because it's just lack of preparation.
Those may be the worst instructors I have ever seen. From the very beginning this was a terrible exit and that falls on them definitely not the student.
He forgot everything they taught him for a second, but the instructors got him straightened out and he found his arch. If it had been a big deal they would have deployed his chute as soon as they got hold of him. This was just another day at the classroom with a D student.
The student did very well actually he saved himself by getting off his back and getting flat and getting in his proper position with his hands out which stabilized him enough for the instructors to catch up and get a hold of him. the important thing is he did not panic! Panic when you're skydiving is what will kill you well that and the ground. :-)
This should be titled, student saves own life by reacting calm and maintaining his own equilibrium so the instructors can catch him. He eventually went into the perfect free fall position on his on. WOW that is one square dude.
I began jumping in 1973. The mere idea of having two "hand holders" to teach you how to fall stable is comical to me! Its actually unbelievable! For God's sweet sake, just ARCH! 😮😂
@@SOLDOZER We CREATED AFF. I was at Deland when Booth, Coe, Guy Manos and some Navy SEALS created TANDEM. We jumped static line Brains, balls and hands and no automatic reserve openers! Okay? 😜
That big Go-rilla plummeted like a brick shithouse! Jumpsuits should have handholds on them or use the old static line system for big guys like that. We did in '67.
Nobody can hold on to a tumbling person. The student knows he's supposed to go into hard arch so that doesn't happen, he did the exact opposite and bent over forwards. Its a natural reaction to protect your belly, but certainly not the instructors fault if the student freaks out and does the opposite of what they were taught to do.
. After they blow the exit the student attempts to get face to earth but in the process gets head down for a second or two. At that point he accelerates faster than the instructors(also now head to earth) can and actually pulls away from them for a bit. However the training(and physics) kicks in and once he arches properly and gets stable, they are able to catch up.
@MgpMontville The USPA Instructor Rating Manual states that whichever instructor who is not contributing towards stability on a funneled exit should be the one to let go. Some DZ's have as their policy that always the main side (JM1, in your case) hangs on. But in some instances, the reserve side could be doing just fine and the main is the one that's making things worse. Both have pros and cons. Neither is right or wrong, as long as both instructors have a plan and communicate beforehand.
On a side note, those are some serious clouds there. Way up high, though. Is that typical for Florida, or is there a summer storm coming? I'm from the other coast. Clouds often start at 3,000'.
@vizzuleyes well lets say 160 lb AAf instructor was taking 90lb girl on 1st jump. if she gets above him he can only slow down so much assuming she is stable but falling really slow. the instructor should be wearing a baggier jump suit or one with a little wing on it. that couls slow his fallrate if needed. any instructor can go faster by dive and swoop if needed. by the way it really doesn't matter if student has done tandem 1st before AFF. tandem is completely different. hoped that answered ?
My physics is a bit rusty but it didn't help that one student weighed and was the size of 2 instructors. Neither had a decent grip on the student when they left the plane. I have done 1 static jump when i was at Varsity in Cape Town years ago.I have no memory of events from foolishly exiting the plane to looking up at X 000 check. Fantastic feeling floating down.So incredibly peaceful i forgot to steer. Once was enuf though. Irony was we were involved in a car accident the previous weekend returning from the airfield as the clouds were too low.
0:32 I bet you they shit a brick when the big fella went head down LOL sweet jesus you'd never catch that guy! I cant believe they put 2 instructors which wouldn't weigh the same as the student together for his start of his AFF dear god that's reckless.
Student did great - that wash hits you and it's a serious ride, this video doesn't show the details of what happened initially... but he self righted (!) and they dropped in and pinched him - a "bad" jump can't go much better!
I was taught by the soviet free fall course (without instructors) so I'm curious, isn't it a basic rule to fly at least half an hour just to learn how to stabilize yourself?
Big f**kin deal. I've come closer to death on a Greyhound bus. Everybody knows that if you really want to fulfill your death wish, you need to skydive at The Parachute Center in Lodi.
@RP7Q9M Nope, my skydiving career is on hold. I'm on Maui, there's no windtunnel anywhere in the state, and the nearest DZ is on O'ahu, a 20 minute plane ride. I don't even know if they certify AFF. It'd be too expensive to jump the puddle every weekend, not to mention gear rental and class costs. Probably have to wait until I move to the mainland to pursue jumping again. :-(
Training I've had says, if the instructor is not with me (in this case neither one of them) to deploy. "You lived, didn't ya?" Rather a cavalier question. I was reading today that the tone of a jump begins with the exit cadence. In this case, the exit was confusing. And going out backwards? Am I missing something here?
My only comment was he was there to learn to jump without an instructor and that he did. I laughed when I saw, I think, both instructors chasing him down with urgency visualizing their thoughts of... oh sh!t.
What I was told during AFF: Lose one instructor, continue the dive as planned. Lose both, immediately pull the chute. But, other schools may have different rules. Overall it looked like a good dive, although the instructor had to pull the chute.
Excluding being on the outside of space station and floating away into space and re-entering earth like Felix Baumgartner, I don't see how there could be anything scarier for a human than when your parachute opens and you get sucked up another thousand feet. The shit to pants ratio for first timers has to be pretty even. I've been tied up and had a gun pointed at the back of my head, completely believing I was about to die....but if it was between that and this, I'd be asking if I could help them find something to tie me up with.
you dont get sucked up when you deploy your chute. its an optical illusion, the camera man is still falling at full speed and the person theyre filming is decelerating since their parachute is opening
It's not about balance. It's about relative wind. In the video his head should have gone the same way the plane was flying after stepoff. In that situation wherever your head goes your body will follow. New students try to use balance in the air for example when correcting themselves on a botched exit. In time you'll realize it's all about relative wind/deflection and staying "loose" while still holding the position.
Sometimes, the torsion makes mandatory to let the student go...it's impossible to stay griped. The summary, in my opinion, results in a good work from the student and also from the JM's. Only AFF JM knows how sometimes its hard to do the job. Regards to all

How do you turn over if you get stuck on your back? Or what do they teach students to do just incase?
If you arch firmly, your body should assume the aerodynamic characteristics of a badminton shuttlecock, and you should automatically flip over into the stable body position.
Spinning however is a totally different problem which arching might not solve. You'll need to lower your shoulder and look away from the direction of the skid.

Notice that the student was already stable before they caught up with him?

Very lucky for the instructors
You mean the instructors(ahem ahem) lost the student. That is the worst exit out of a plane ever. Those 2 should not be instructing.
terrible exit, no coordination, on a very easy to exit plane

I agree David, great job by student.

BIG I agree with you. To some it’s only a life anyways, no biggie 😂

my take on it is the student was tired of diving with the instructors and went rouge.
Like an absolute BADASS!
He went rouge? So he put make up on?
went red?!
Footballhookie, congrats on your first jump and to your instructors as well for not abandoning you. Stay with it and welcome to the sport.

Yeah then the next group comes down on top of you....great...
These videos help me cement the idea of NOT jumping out of a perfectly good plane...
Should have had bigger instructors. He did pretty well for himself, coming from inverted to a proper arch before they got back to him.
This just reinforces my opinion that students should be required to take time in a tunnel before going out, if it's reasonable for them to do so. Students freaking out once they get in the air just piss me off immensely, because it's just lack of preparation.

@RP7Q9M Nope, my skydiving career is on hold. I'm on Maui, there's no windtunnel anywhere in the state, and the nearest DZ is on O'ahu, a 20 minute plane ride. I don't even know if they certify AFF. It'd be too expensive to jump the puddle every weekend, not to mention gear rental and class costs. Probably have to wait until I move to the mainland to pursue jumping again. :-(
Training I've had says, if the instructor is not with me (in this case neither one of them) to deploy. "You lived, didn't ya?" Rather a cavalier question. I was reading today that the tone of a jump begins with the exit cadence. In this case, the exit was confusing. And going out backwards? Am I missing something here?
My only comment was he was there to learn to jump without an instructor and that he did. I laughed when I saw, I think, both instructors chasing him down with urgency visualizing their thoughts of... oh sh!t.
Don't feel bad dude, Everyone's brain shuts off the first time. That's why 2 JM's hold you.
What I was told during AFF: Lose one instructor, continue the dive as planned. Lose both, immediately pull the chute. But, other schools may have different rules. Overall it looked like a good dive, although the instructor had to pull the chute.
Excluding being on the outside of space station and floating away into space and re-entering earth like Felix Baumgartner, I don't see how there could be anything scarier for a human than when your parachute opens and you get sucked up another thousand feet. The shit to pants ratio for first timers has to be pretty even. I've been tied up and had a gun pointed at the back of my head, completely believing I was about to die....but if it was between that and this, I'd be asking if I could help them find something to tie me up with.
you dont get sucked up when you deploy your chute. its an optical illusion, the camera man is still falling at full speed and the person theyre filming is decelerating since their parachute is opening
Seriously? Sucked up a thousand feet?? Did the person tie you up and put a gun to your head to try and force you to belive in physics?
+BIG WOZ I died
;-)
student: "I totally fucked it up"
instructor: [this guy has no frakin' clue how badly I failed him] "aahh you did good man! ..get in the truck"
It's not about balance. It's about relative wind. In the video his head should have gone the same way the plane was flying after stepoff. In that situation wherever your head goes your body will follow. New students try to use balance in the air for example when correcting themselves on a botched exit. In time you'll realize it's all about relative wind/deflection and staying "loose" while still holding the position.
"I thought you were get off...."
I thought youuuu were the get off guy!"
Sometimes, the torsion makes mandatory to let the student go...it's impossible to stay griped. The summary, in my opinion, results in a good work from the student and also from the JM's. Only AFF JM knows how sometimes its hard to do the job. Regards to all
