A skydiving student has difficulty regaining a controlled, stable body position shortly after exiting the plane. As he deploys, the pilot chute wraps under his body, causing a pilot chute in tow.
According to the person who submitted this video, instead of the student pulling his reserve, he "waited for the pilot chute to work."
Watching this video will make your palms sweat (or make you feel sick), but luckily the student was saved by his AAD (Vigil 2), which opened his reserve just under 1,000 feet. Phew!

That's the kind of scream that'll haunt you
Sheesh, this video is terrifying. Back in 1971 in Gainesville, Florida, my instructor, the great Bill Booth, saw me "die" . He was in the plane watching me do a "hop n' pop" at 2500 feet. I had a total malfunction and tumbled a while before opening my reserve -- an old 24' twill, round canopy. The guys in the plane never saw my reserve open! It was an old Air Force camouflaged canopy and I was over trees. I actually thought Booth was going to punch me when I saw him back on the ground. "I SAW YOU DIE!!" Really freaked him out. The look on his face was nearly as frightening as the malfunction. And oh yeah, no AADs back then.
Bill booth was your instructor? Jesus...
Bill has a lot of those stories from the old days. Once he told me a story back in the 70s how two jumpers had an entanglement & landed in powerlines. When he & some other guys arrived to the location they found the two jumpers dangling from the powerlines & fighting over who collided with who.
Any chance you did any jumps 45 minutes east of Gainesville in Palatka, Fl?
I’ve jumped there before while I was in the air force stationed in Southern Georgia. (Moody AFB)
Good times!
@@justinbrooks2539 Skydive Palatka was started by the Gainesville club when they lost the old airfield (Stengel airport) to developers. I was out of the sport by the time they moved up to Palatka. Great times! Switched to hang gliders years ago -- same type of crazy, fun people but much more airtime. Highly recommend hang gliding for old jumpers.
@@Ayerstairs 🎯🎯🎯👍
Holy sh*t. I feel sorry for the instructor. He thought that is it for the student. What an experience.
His screaming says it all! Hope the student did not get injured. What a day for both!
the instructor is supposed to be close to the student. He never was. `the screaming was an admission of his failure.
Don't worry. The student had paid all the classes in advance.
Absolutely, he couldn’t track over to him as he’d of lost to much altitude to help. Great video to show students when explaining this malfunction. Glad all are safe
@@homeofcreation amen to that
Oh wow! Man the speed can be deceiving. When they're moving relative , I mean you know they're falling, but the instant the instructors chute deploys you REALLY see how fast their falling. My goodness this one was scary.
5 seconds every 1000 ft 10 seconds the first 1000
I really appreciate how your videos are straight to the point, interesting af, and come with a detailed description of what happened, how it could be avoided, etc. It’s the exact opposite of clickbait. Well done!
- no t-shirt shop
- no long "please subscribe to my channel, click the bell, follow instagram, support me on patreon, donate your kidney to me etc"
The intro is a little loud is all.
I REALLY appreciate the lack of music and annoying edits though
I legit feel bad for the instructor, dude thought he was about to witness the end of this student and there legit wasn't anything he could do...
Don’t. He wasn’t doing any instructing.
@@slipstreambro fuck.,
@Ben Woodcock Easy to occur!!! In that case, this is definitely not a sport I want to take up.
@Ben Woodcock I thought the same thing. I'm considering my AFF and as soon as the video started I thought "why are they jumping so low?" If it's that obvious to nonexperts it should never have happened under an instructor.
@Ben Woodcock I think those people are people who have never had this happen to them so they don’t take it serious but the moment they have one of these life flashing moments their opinion will change.
That was fucking close
Maybe the guy's reflexes had been slowed down by weed use?
instructor: NOT ANOTHER ONE! WHY, GOD?!
He really thought that his student is going to die!!😨😥
HALO-dude. Enlist that guy in special forces.
lmao
Very black humor....😂👍
🤣🤣🤣
HAVVLO!! (very very low)
More similar to cod:warzone
It was hard watching this one.
You can follow all the rules you want, it's other jumpers that kill you.
Chris Lalor not always...sometimes you can be the best in the world and still shit happens...
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Yep, that's what SHE said!! 😎
I felt the same thing
Student is like, what?
That's how I do it man, all that shouting was freaking me out.
I believe you can hear the muffled screaming from the instructor as they are freefalling… chilling stuff
that really was chilling
INSTRUCTOR: “NOOOOOOOOO, gulp, NOOOOOOOO”
Student “HOLY SH-T this is fun! 5 stars when I hit the ground.”
I mean his pilot chute clearly wasn't working, he probably wanted to get on the ground as soon as possible to fix it!
dark humor 😁😂
@@1tgneverquit684 it was just hooked
Typical TH-cam troll comment. This type of person is why TH-cam comments suck
@@davedoesthingsdreaded read the description. "Instead of pulling his reserve, he waited for the pilot chute to work"
@@davedoesthingsdreaded What are you talking about?
wow just watched that 3 times and that scream is seriously moving.
Now that
is a freak out.
About 5 seconds from when the instructor deploys his chute and when the student's reserve deploys. Its crazy how much of an altitude difference there was between them.
It’s about 1000’ every 4 seconds.
Felt every bit of that one
This was too much...
The screams from that instructor...
WOW.
Future BASE jumper! Love seeing students getting after it!
He was just testing his AAD, it worked lol
@@Dubtee No doubt. You can't fully trust the gear until you test it yourself.
i'm definitely crossing "learn to skydive" off the list.
Lol 😂
The key is to _learn_ instead of whatever that idiot student was doing during all the lessons. Unbelievably stupid.
lol I'm about to get into AFF next year and I cant wait, this couldve been easily avoided
That is one the closest I’ve ever seen. Only one I remember that was closer was that kid who pulled so low you could actually see the slider dropping down on the shadow he was making on the ground.
How about the one where the dude got saved by the parking canopy thing and landed on top of a car? That one was pretty nuts!
th-cam.com/video/b_mW22N6F9k/w-d-xo.html
@timemachine_194 wow I’ve never seen that. When people started buzzing that road in wing suits all of a sudden everyone wanted to try it. Looked like he barely had that suit flying. That was hella close.
@@resiack hahahaha that ones hilarious
Automatic Activation Device for those struggling the patter like me! Glad he’s safe though ✌️👌
Those devices are saving the day pretty regularly on this channel
Is somebody screaming "Oh Fuck" over and over faintly in the background?
Yeah the instructor was
well by looking at the situation, it was obviously the student?
@@purpleflamingo979 Instructor. At those speeds, the wind is louder than anything so it sounds far off.
@@JasonHu88 i see. i guess his mic is really bad making it even more quieter.
The mic is actually amazing. Normally you hear nothing when skydiving. I was really surprised we could hear anything.
You even hear the student screaming ‘help me’ ‘fuck’ ‘help’... I’d get down to him and give him a hug and cry together
That's the teacher screaming.
I would like to see the debriefing!
As we say: Every jump is voluntary, but every landing is compulsory!
Had a buddy ask me what happened if my reserve didn't work. All I could think to tell his innocent little heart was that I'd be landing a little harder than expected.
yeah i was told once, "you're gonna hit the ground once you jump, the trick is to hit it softly" haha
@@cloud9847 you've got the rest of your life to try and make it work
I experienced the same, filming an AFF jump in Norway, both the student and the instructor saved by AAD at 750 ft, and trust me guys that is not something beautiful thing to see...I broke my voice after screaming
I still would like to see. I have got B licence and I think it will bring a new dimension to my awareness.
I'm more curious what the student was thinking rather than what the instructor was going through...
Yeah exactly, if there could be a iinterview or something.
First, he thought : "Damn I crapped my pants..."
Then AAD functioned and he thought : "Ouch... Now my socks and shoes are crapped too".
I had something similar happen to me as a JM. I had a student transition from 10sec freefall to 15 sec. He was rock solid on 10 sec so I was pretty relaxed. I followed him out but was much closer than normal. He was great for about 7 seconds then when blender on me. He was unstable on every axis. I knew he had an AAD but for whatever crazy reason, my impulse was to flyover and help out. I managed to reach him at about 1800ft and deploy his main. I then made the bone head move and deployed mine. I was under 1000 ft and my main usually took about 800 to open. I lucked out because we had drifted over a small valley, giving me an extra 100 ft. To my relief, and many on the ground, my usually snively main promptly opened and I had about a 10 second ride to landing. The student did end up landing safely under two parachutes. Stupid thing to do but it was all reaction and not thought out.
One would expect JMs to be trained for occasions like these.
@@lillydlc1747 No, category system instructors aren’t. Only AFF.
No stupid thing is you did it again
So you opened his main and the AAD opened his reserve?
@@goldenboy06 - yep. Pretty stupid on my part but my actions were purely reactionary. It's the dunce cap for me.
Holy fuck that gave my entire body chills..
its a high risk sport...
its not high risk if you obey rules
It's not high risk, high risk is driving back home in your bike or walking on the street. There's about 1 fatality out of 75000 jumps.
If you listen very closely you can hear the instructor yelling to the student in freefall.
I still believe the student did not' t listen to him, because he did not hear him... 🤔
MisterIvyMike nah he is definitely shouting to him, listen closer. I don’t know what it being said, it’s drowned out by the rushing air.
Alot of oh fuck was said
@@MisterIvyMike hahaha
@@joshpelham8745 Fucks were definitely given.
I did a tandem jump once,intro jump. Opened at 5 k ft. Hanging in the harness made me feel very sick,nausea and hot to point of passing out. Instructor said the blood was trapped in my legs from the harness. On landing he asked how I liked it. I said the free fall was great , but the parachute ride was terrible for me. I said too bad you can't free fall all the way down. He said ,oh you can,but only once ! 😂
Idk whats worse, being the student dealing with all of that and the panic, or the instructor watching it, you could hear it in his voice..
Not so great at stable freefall, but does killer 360s ;) . Glad the ADD worked an no one perished. Tip of the hat to the ADD engineers of the world!
I think I can explain,it's like watching a recording of myself. When I learned (Zimbabwe, 30 years ago) we didn't have AFF. Didn't have AAD either! Did 5 static line jumps then progressed upwards from 3 sec to 35 sec in intelligent stages. I was a fast learner, 35 sec in min possible of 21 jumps. On my 48th jump I didn't pay enough attention and my pilot chute wrapped around my chest & couldn't pull. I tried to untangle it by rolling but made it worse. I decided to use reserve but was already passing 3500ft AGL and suddenly trees came into 3D & started coming up to me. The palms of my hands started to sweat profusely & I couldn't grip the reserve handle, they kept sliding off when I tried to pull. Finally I knew I had one chance left. I used both hands, dug in fingernails hard and hauled. It worked. I opened at 200 ft as my toes brushed through the tops of the eucalyptus tree leaves.
this never happened
Club other side of New Sarum runway? Been there, done that. Such fun crunching in under a T10 while you watch the guys on squares making gentle tippy toe landings.
Soo sad
there are no eucalyptus trees in Zimbabwe...
@@noobledebooble He learned in Zimbabwe he said
Did the student pass that level?
Johnny Boy He's lucky to have passed with his life 😂
I don't think that was an AFF. Other wise the instructir would have been closer
It seems a low altitude jump, maybe a cat B check
Hahahahahaha
I bet he passed everything he had eaten for the last few days...
Thank god that guy survived, i feel for the instructor though...wouldnt surprise me if he got PTSD from that, he sounded so desperate to help but could do nothing.
This is my home DZ, jump here all the time. Holy smokes never thought I'd come across a local video like this.
Noah Cassidy-Stinson where is this drop zone?
Native Explorer Campbell River, Vancouver Island. I was surprised to see a vid from my home dz. I just started jumping there this summer and it’s awesome! :)
I could feel the horror, listening to the instructor screaming “Oh F” as soon as the student’s parachute didn’t deploy... he knew it before the student even realized...and then yelling “Cut Away!” I’m sure the student had a few words too- course we couldn’t hear those over the winds on GoPro.
Oh my god i wanna see the rest of the video PLEEEASE SOMEONE UPLOAD!!!
What rest? He was saved by the AAD. End of story.
Why do not understand, that see all after staff, dialogs is interssting also, or just explaining by studend his actions and feelings?
@@jimday666 the rest of that shithouse instructor’s commentary
The horror & pain in his scream.
thanks to this channel this will be be in my bucket list forever.
Luis Florez gaaaaaay thx for this channel I did my aff
Strangely this channel also made me want to take an aff course. Just need to get some extra money and it's on :)
Also, we really do need an interview with that student, thats gotta be the most exciting/horrifying thing he is ever going to experience.
He maybe checked the first time he is in trouble when the AAD was firing...
Studemt: "Oh yeah skydiving is fun. Is it that intense every time? 8/10 would try again."
Trainer: you almost died dude
Student: yeah, I'm jumping out of a plane dude.
Trainer: this guy has more balls than brains.
@@dylanmorgan5589 If you get an AAD ride I'm pretty sure that's an automatic 9/10. Definitely got their moneys' worth. :D
You can find him playing golf now... I doubt anyone will carry on teaching him skydiving
Damn, that instructor just aged 10 years in 20 secs....
Time for the "bowling" speech!
After that....
EVERYTHING in life gets the volume turned down. You can handle anything.
Thats what i was thinking... This is it. After such an experience... Life will get sooo chilled. Nearly nothing will bring you out your comfort zone. Hope he did sth with that experience
Well done....sound like a really bad predicament...but both of you emerged unscathed! Hope you never get a close one like that again
I've jumped here. Beautiful spot
campbell river
You can hear the student at which the point he didn’t know what to do and panicked.
Great spotting!
Jeez if this doesn't give you the chills nothing will.. Seems like this student was advanced a little too quickly?
You could hear the fear in his voice
He was going to wait the rest of his life for the pilot chute to work
underrated comment
Looks more like a Static Line progression. Once off the static line, usually about 5 jumps, the instructor usually stays in the plane - or jumps a few seconds after the student. The majority of up jumpers trained over the last 20 years only experience the AFF track for training. When I did my student jumps more students were trained via Static Line progression. I've see student brain freeze once and it scared the piss outta me.
Binged on these to cure my fear of heights. It was working.... then this video.
Panic attacks don’t happen when you’re in that situation trust me. As a skydiver myself I have had panic attacks in the most mundane of situations but never while jumping
Shit. Are you allowed to jump? I heard that if you had a panic attack in the last 3 years you are not allowed to jump.
@@rubenbaczo8497 not if you don’t provide that Info when filling out the release form 😬. I have only had a handful and it’s only after becoming a father..
@@rubenbaczo8497 and they don’t explicitly ask if you have panic attacks in the health history section. They just ask if you have any medical conditions and I’m not even sure panic attacks qualify as a legit medical condition
@@bigb3n011 I guess it is dangerous only if you have seizure too or you lose control over yourself. I hope you don't have such problems. Be safe!
whoa man... whoa.. this one was hard to watch.
I think the instructor needs some remedial training.
Can I ever do skydiving after watching all these Friday Freakouts 😓... Gosh! My palms are sweaty!
If he cannot maintain a stable position, why does the instructor let him free fall for 10 seconds??? And on top of that, the student's other mistake is that he can't throw the opening parachute correctly 🤦♂🤦♂
Hey, 200 jumps before you can put a camera on your helmet.
Is this a fun jump? Coach jump!? No way this is an AFF level. You can’t be that far from a student.
Was the guy filming screaming for the AAD to fire? For the other guy to hear him? Or was it pure panic mode? This is gnarly. Glad everyone is okay!
pure horror.. God thankyou for saving..
This had to be one of the scariest malfunction videos I've seen. I was screaming "cut away!!!!" as I was watching. Heart pounding and all :(
Rodregous Johnson nothing out to cutaway...
His pilot was out. That's plenty to cut away.
Cut what away a pilot chute in tow only option is go for reserve save life
@@Aza_Reilly if you get anything out at all you must cut away first, otherwise you could get a main/reserve entanglement.
@@thomasmartin5503 If the bag is still in the container, a cutaway does nothing. But you are right. For simplicity, you should always pull both handles in sequence. Right then left on most rigs. In most instances, it's the safest way to get a reserve canopy open above you.
Thank God, that's what the ADD is literally designed for
Thank God for that on heading opening.
That student spun away like a ninja star.
Like the Wile Coyote cartoons where he jumps off a cliff and everything fails til he hits the ground then his parachute goes off 😆 Seriously glad that dude made it, his screams will be etched in that instructors mind forever.
I am so glad I don't have an adrenaline addiction.
Everytime they skydive they have to save their own life
@@Atomic1710 I'm glad I'm not addicted to something that requires me to have to save my own life every time I do it.
@@alwa6954 😂😂
@@Atomic1710 I'm just not that reliable. Taking my life into my own hands would be tantamount to suicide.
@@alwa6954 especially if you’re having a panic attack on the way down..
Living on the edge!
Holy shit that was close.
My instructor was a flat out bad ass, and would have been there before 3k and pulled my chute if this happened to me
Bet that's the first student to land at the dz before the instructor with a canopy 3 times the size 😂
This is a very odd jump tbh.
It seems like the altitude was too low for an AFF jump and the student clearly hasn’t been stable enough to be let go of the instructor for this level. Plus, it didn’t seem like the instructor was trying very hard to catch him (maybe not enough altitude to do so?) It might not have been a pilotchute in tow if he deployed at a stable position. Most importantly, the student completely forgot to CUTAWAY!!! My heart squeezed so hard for him until the AAD fired...
I had similar experience when I span out of control, scarier than this one but I managed to pull and deploy. Jerked my neck and lower back real hard but I made it to the ground safely. I feel for this dude...
1) I understand. This video seems weird in every corner. I wonder wtf that even was.
2) What to do when you get spinny? I see ppl say "ARCH" all the time and I know what it means, but is it that easy to become stable again if you just arch hard enough?
@@updatedotexe
1) You don't understand
2) See 1
I dont know if I couldve watched the whole video if it was hosted on liveleak.
rumor has it that it was not the instructor's yell that can be heard, but the student's ....!
Not a fan of excerated freefall. Do the static lines and dummy pulles and then take your own chances.
Student: "Yeeeeaaahhh! Yooo-hhhhhoooooo!!!"
Ive seen it 20 times now and I still dont know what happened - except for that the student hit the ground hard. I can hear "help me help me" and some "fuck". Also some screams from the one landed saftey!
I got 600 plus skydives so far. If that happened to me, then it’s time to hang up (more like dispose) my rig and call it a day in that sport.
Let me know first before you throw it in the trash, I'll give you a hundred bucks
Skydiving isn't for everyone. I recommend this person being grounded for his own safety. Not pulling your reserve and being saved by AAD is a no no.
Sport is supposed to be challenging, fun, NOT terrifying with the consequence of mistakes being death!
I know where that is !
Haha the brown coveralls were the first hint .
I took my lessons there and plan on going back soon !
I have 12 static Line jumps and was cleared to my first hop and pop but the plane broke down and haven’t had the time to go back .
Beautiful jump site :)
Mountains & ocean and small tree covered islands .
Nice people .
Why don't you just tell us the name of the island and DZ?
Nice place to be buried
u can hear him scream " help me "
It seems that the instructor lost his student.
He was to far to intervene in case of trouble.
And yet, it was his priority mission.
it depends on the progression levels. Static Line, for example. No instructor is allowed to be close to any static line student in free-fall. :-)
video quality was so low, I couldn't even tell if he was stable. and I feel bad for the coach who had his nerves racked
i start my day with one of these videos just to ensure the rest of it is fucked up
The Instructor: Well fuk.... there goes a hundred and fifty bucks. Dude ain't ever jumpin' again.
Two things. The instructor failed to join up with his student after exit and the basic deployment training must have been inadequate. I've personally witness the AAD saved three people, two being experienced skydivers who lost altitude awareness. Glad that the only casualty was soiled underpants.
Good thing for AAD. I think that the student now has to really think if skydiving is for him or her. If your AAd fires then you have not saved your life.
mycatumz this why you always turn it on and ask people if they turned it on before getting up...
All checks mean nothing if something happens and you’re unable to get under a canopy for any reason.
Thank God
I bet he completely ruined that jumpsuit lol 😳
it was literally the end.. and then it wasn't!
Wow saddled by maybe 400 feet? Insane
+trey surf I HIGHLY doubt it. AADs don't open that low.
+Skydive 808 AAD's fire at 600-800ft in expert mode. So 400ft is quite a reasonable estimate.
+Skydive 808 For Cypres 2's w/ standard settings: Expert is 750ft when speed >78 mph, Student if the speed is between 29-78 mph @1000 ft or >78 @ or below 750 ft....so yes it is pretty much guaranteed he was saddled that low.
+KiwiSkydiving
Touché. But why would a student jump an AAD in expert mode?
They wouldn't, but it doesn't really matter in this case as student and expert both fire at the same altitude of 750ft when >78mph
Okay question. The place I went skydiving at they said they have their AAD set at 3,000 feet. Why does everyone have theirs set so low?(I am new to this sport)
That was most likely a tandem AAD. Tandem AAD's fire around 3000ft. There are different AAD's for students, tandems, swoopers, wingsuiters and normal sport jumpers, all with different altitudes and speed they fire at. There are also multi-mode AAD's, those can be set to the different modes. Here is a manual for a multi-mode virgil: www.vigil.aero/wp-content/uploads/Vigil-2.0.3-Users-Manual-June2015.pdf
Like J said, probably a tandem AAD. Bigger canopy needed, harder to control. My AFF AAD was set to ~1,200 feet.
nice spot
That should be that guys last jump, if not his next one will be. Some people should not skydive. He is one of them. Lucky lucky lucky.
As a student going thru AFF, I will re- affirm, it is not on the instructor. You are your own pilot and must be responsible for making in flight decisions . From exit to landing
....and flare!
