- Perfect example of what not to when you are low! Learn from this so you don’t have to pound in like I did... pond needed a refill after my crash. walked away with a bruised ego and not being able to laugh/cough/fart without it hurting for a month
video cred: team alter ego
You're supposed to yell cannonball first
Pretty much
I don't know if they taught you this in parachute school, but when the ground is rushing up at you quickly, that's when you pull the toggles.
For real! He did absolutely nothing as he saw the water rush towards him at 55 mph. His brain said "this is fine👌🏼, no need for intervention."
Imagine if he landed on the ground instead of water
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess at that speed the water in like concreted... you don't bounce off of water lol

Dumb answer@@malcolmkeith816
The water did not take your white canopy as a sign of surrender.
Hit the water with ZERO inputs. No risers, no toggles, straight to pound town. Aff1 students land better than this. Glad he survived thougj
yeah buddy you are lucky! i have 2 friends who crash in on a swoop pound..one spend month in hospital..and my other friend stay between life and death for months cause he had open broken bones who got badly infected by the bacteria in the water.. glad you got away "nicely" with this crash... and thumbs up for sharing your mistake!! ;)
There is an idea, chlorinate the ponds to increase survivability!
A guy died in NY doing this. I didn't know what it was, searching brought me here, after seeing your video, you're very lucky.
My son died the same exact way on 12 Jun 24.
Pond saved an open book fracture.
I know a guy that died thinking swooping water would save him..
Dang son... that hurt to watch. Glad you're okay!
With that speeds water can bad hurt I guess! But imagine if that would have been hard ground... 😱
A friend killed himself doing that, he was a coastal diver that went inland for a competition, he never adjusted for the dz altitude and killed himself on his first jump there, be careful out here.
Your Lucky! please be careful, most accidents happen on take off & landing. Good Luck.
Everything added to the risk of a skydive increases your odds of injury or death. I swoop occasionally but not a constant and do so knowing it's rasky. VRW, is risky and my favored activity, RW, has it's risks but you make the choice.
ouch, thanx 4 the entertainment, I used to say "anything for the crowd" stick to 180's
ouch!

I've landed in an empty round reserve to get to the ground, dust explosion, but I jumped up on my feet, OK! My friend didn't fair so well, that was my "emergency" landing plan.
Bro. WRECKED!! DAMN SON!!
I had a friend who was doing a swoop, but not over a pond. He came in too low, hit the ground, and broke his tail bone.
If you couldn't fart without hurting, imagine taking a dump. Probably felt like giving a birth.
Get hemorrhoid operation to know pain. Especially when you take a dump. Sheer terror the first week.
@@Mr25thfret I can't imagine. Would have to fast for that week and drink liquids. God help you if you eat Taco Bell that week.
@@ccrpalex2456 😂
Well....that’s one way to learn never to try that again. Very, very lucky he got away with that. Many have not!!!
lowkey thought the canopy was gonna collapse
Glad You're ok. What canopy is that one? And what wing loading?
Thanks man! Saber 2 135 loaded 1.8 😝😝😂😂
Just did something similar, except i didnt have a pond.
Crossfire 3 at 1.7, started my 90 at 480... ground doesn't give as much as water.
I'm on a cf3 at 1.4 and my 90** height is 530, damn
@@xBoddahhh do you airball all the time or...? Not that I really care after pounding in, I have quit swooping. (Femur, pelvis x2, hand x2, and back)... this was after catching rollers off a hanger tho
I was told by top level swoopers that even at my wingloading, and on a crossfire 3, that my 90 height was pretty high. And yours is even 50' higher?
damn... glad you're ok, wanna give a break down of went wrong? i dont ever think I want to learn to swoop but it's still interesting
I was low got fixated on the water and didn’t flare to save it, you see what happens when you don’t flare 😏
@@Formandizzle this was awesome and epic lol glad you only got some bruising, maybe a fractured rib or two =p
Seriously though this is the coolest swoop crash I've seen, because the ones onto the dirt make me cringe lol
weeeeeeeeeeee ... splat ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If it's 100 degrees outside, HE GOT WET. Otherwise, practice, practive, practice.
You got off lucky. Very lucky
My thought progression as I watched this:
“where is the ground, I wonder what his altitude is? “
“ oh, here comes the swoop.”
“AAAGGGHHH!! DAMN!”
“No way he survives tha.....holy shit! He’s alive. THAT WAS AWESOME!!”
อยากโดดแบบนี้
Yikes. Where did you initiate that turn?
Lower side of 650
+Chris Forman yikes. I start my 270 on my similarly loaded sabre2 from 800.
+Matt Coffin damn my turn is big and people say 650 (obviously wasn't here) is high lol either way, whatever works right?
+Chris Forman I also roll in ~45 degrees the wrong way to burn more altitude. That way if I'm low in my setup I can just cut that part of the turn and still salvage it.
+Matt Coffin I like that hell yeah can snap harder too
Stupid is as stupid does.
🤔 only a crash 🙂
Probably also shouldn’t be swooping on a 9 cell.
So are you bringing spectre 170’s back to competition? Or do you mean go straight to cross braced?
Newb here, why not?
That's like concrete at that speed. OOF.
Вода источник Жизни она и помогла! шампанское не пей и подумай в следующий раз !
That was just stupid
That’s what my mom said too
Thank God hit water. That would've been a fatality otherwise. Mistakes in swooping are usually very bad.
