@@043mehdi In a car or motorbike accident maybe? I started with skydiving in 1997 and all of my skydive comrades are stilll alive. Ok, there where two severe landing accidents, but no fatality! In the same time three of my none skydiving friends where killed in motorcycle accidents.
Years ago, three of us went up for static line jumps. The skydiving club required three good dummy pulls in a row before you could do a "hop-and-pop". The second guy out was on his fifth jump, and he had managed to get his dummy handle the previous two times. He grabbed the strut, pulled himself out under the wing, and went at the jump master's signal. Then I see the jump master reach up to slide the static line back and out of the way. He looked confused because it wasn't there, and said: "Oh my God, I forgot to hook him up". Luckily, the guy realized something went wrong, pulled his reserve, and got down safely. I went over to him after I landed. He was laughing and joking around with a group of people. I wish I had a picture of it. He was standing there holding his bunched up reserve with his undeployed main chute on his back, and the neatly coiled static line sticking out of its pack. They counted that jump as his third dummy pull and let him go right back up for his first "intentional" jump without a static line.
After giving it some more thought, I remembered that beginners at that club jumped with reserve chutes that had automatic activation devices set to deploy if a certain altitude was reached at high velocity. It was my impression that he got to his reserve manually, especially since the jumpmaster cleared him to advance in his training. But, then again, his jumpmaster on that day was not exactly on his game either. Would love to see his log book with his description and the jumpmaster's comments.
I had a brand new Starlite blow out 2 panels and burn 100s of pinholes on a first jump; first cut-away was 98th jump. You just proved you can beat the real odds. They are fun, since it's really ANOTHER freefall and opening.
fahhk 3rd AFF u cut away damn... glad your neurons made the connection - I did AFF and so much is coming your away obvious things are not obvius. glad you landed safe.
Same exact thing happened to me on 2nd jump with a new high-performance canopy -- Whack(!), then ripped, broken lines and spinning ferociously. But it wasn't just my 3rd skydive(!) Good reason for popping students high.
What I keep wondering about is the probability of having to do a cutaway on one's very first jump, which is actually what happened to me. Does anyone compile statistics about this kind of thing? I also want to ask if you had trouble with sensory overload causing your mind to not function quite as quickly as it should during your malfunction? I was lucky because my main canopy was MOSTLY open so I had plenty of time to do the emergency procedures to try to get the canopy fully open. I tried everything I'd been taught in class that morning, but none of it worked. Maybe I could have landed that canopy without all the cells being open by pulling on the toggles asymmetrically, but all I knew then was that if I didn't see a fully open canopy, I was supposed to cut away, so I did. During the debriefing, my jump-master said I did the right things. It's scary to think back on it though because while I was working on getting the closed cells open I was paying no attention to my altitude or my heading. (I went on to complete the AFF course and did a half-dozen solo skydives after that but didn't pursue the sport any further after that.)
My girlfriend just did her AFF, had a cutaway on number 7 I believe. Not number 1 but she followed all the instructions to a T and had no issues at all. She actually seemed pretty excited when she called. Got up the same day for another jump. Skydiving is all about trusting processes and following them.
@@inouire It's funny to hear you say "I did what I had to do". Because in my case, after I tried to fix the cells that weren't open, I knew what I had to do next was (we'd drilled on this several times) was "punch right (cutaway handle to arms length)", "punch left" (reserve handle to arms length), and "arch!" I did. Strong opening shock. And in 1989, when I did this, we still used round reserves, and the next thing I "had to do" was pull down on one side or the other of the risers to steer into the wind, if I could. But at this point I started to go into shock. I knew it was REAL shock (but only in retrospect) because of what I did and didn't do next: I had no interest in steering, because below me was a field of freshly plowed farmland. I knew I was gonna be fine. I became relaxed and floated down with the wind and tumbled and rolled harmlessly in the dirt and was left sitting on my ass but with my legs out in front of me and at this point someone not in shock woulda stood up, waved toward the jumpmasters (so they know I'm OK), collected my round reserve, and started looking for the cutaway handle that I had dropped. But I was in a weird state of contentment. I had no desire to stand up. I simply wanted to sit there with my ass in the dirt. Left alone, I woulda sat there unmoving for a WHILE. I was a couple hundred yards from my jumpmaster and at the time he reached me I was still sitting on my ass in the dirt. He reached me and asked if I was OK. I said "yeah". But I still had no urge to stand up, and made no move to do so. So he REPEATED the question. I was starting to get annoyed because I just wanted to sit there, but I could sense he didn't believe I was truly OK, and he really expected me to prove it by standing up. So, alright, OK, I got up. Later, I realized my mind had not been working at 100% capacity for several minutes. I was definitely in some kind of mild state of shock. So it's a good thing that "I did what I had to do", at least up through the point of pulling the reserve handle!
I had an opening like that only it was harder. Left leg strap bruises all the way around each thigh. Seeing stars after that too. This was after I had broke my back just a few years earlier. Not fun.
Back another lifetime ago when I "was" skydiving, I always packed my chute for a slow cream puff opening. Pulled the slider up nice and tight and folded over the nose over twice for good measure. Always got a nice slow smooth opening.
@@rubenbaczo8497 Okay I'll try to explain it as best I can. Chute and lines laid out straight and ready for packing. "S" folding the chute and lining up the lines. Pull the slider up nice and tight. Next, grab the nose and fold it DOWN into the crease of the "S" fold nearest the nose….. Continue packing your brick as normal from there. Nice and tight. That pack should give you a nice “cream puff” opening. When you try it for the first time, open up at an altitude higher than you normally do and see how you like it. After you try it, let me know what you think.
@@ashlinnogorman2813 No not always. Anything can go wrong at any time with no rhyme or reason why. I had a “barber pole” on one jump. Fortunately, I was high enough where I could just enjoy the spinning around until it untangled itself and then just rode it down like normal from there. Another time while I was under canopy, my A.A.D. activated itself and started to deploy my reserve. I was too close to the ground to do a “cut away”. My main was a square and my reserve was a round. I set it up that way on purpose for a scenario just like this one here. If I had two squares deployed at the same time, they might wrap themselves around each other. In this case I looked back to see what had hit me. It felt like someone had thrown a football at me and hit me in the back. I saw my reserve pilot chute out and the bridle right behind it and leading right back to my pack. My reserve was still in the pack but I didn’t know if it was going to be coming out soon or not. I reached back and grabbed the bridle to keep it and the pilot chute from pulling it out any further. I wasn’t sure if it was partially out, all out, or not out at all. So with bridle in hand, I turned my focus back on to flying my main down to the ground safely, which I was able to do. Once on the ground, I daisy chained my main lines and by that time a friend of mine who was on the ground and had watched it all happen had gotten to me and I asked him what it looked like back there. He said other than the reserve pilot chute and bridle being out, everything else was still in place. I left my gear on and he helped me walk it all back to the packing area. I reported what had happened to the jump master and left my chute there to have a master rigger repack the reserve for me. Some days are better than others. This was a good day. Things could have gone a lot worse.
I was keeping an eye on the slider to see if it was packed up top but it was and it shot right down at light speed. Did you sustain injury? Why did this happen?
Shit! That poor student. I did AFF and the big 240 canopy I was on was soft and slow as shit opening for me. That must have knocked the wind out of him and given him some heavy bruising.
The slider, a small piece of Fabric, isn't placed up (close to parachute). As the chute opens, it slows the airflow to it. It also slides down to the skydiver as the parachute fully opens. I dont know what caused this one though, as it looks like the slider was up and slid down.
a guy got a hard opening in the valley a whiles ago. complained about it a little but moved on. dropped dead that night cos it tore his aorta, like fully tore his heart apart
This type of packing seems unsafe : Bag not stabilised during the deployment ( too many twists ! ) The halyard ( drisse in french ) seems better than the slider ( only requirement : must be stiff / not old ... ) ... No problem during 200 jumping with it....
What do you do in this situation as a AFF student? Once the parachute deploys the coaches are too far below and the altitude is too low to help the student. Will the student have to take the actions himself from his knowledge of cutaway and reserve right?
That other instructor didn't let go of him in time That wasn't a hard opening but his rate of descent was actually accelerated where it was supposed to be de-accelerating while his main was opening! Edit; And they took their time to initiate the opening unless this was some HALO training
I saw the video of the fellow who jumped out of a plane and landed in a net without opening a parachute and wondered why someone doesn't increase the scale to a 1/4 to 1/2 mile square as a fail-safe? Would a compressed air ejected rocket third chute be too cumbersome? Seems like the more backups the better if there is not a big net.
xXspectre170Xx there are a number of things that can cause hard openings. From a bad pack job, to a bad canopy, to bad body position on pull, etc. it’s just one of those things that sometimes happen.
The sail opening makes your vertical speed decrease from ~110mph to ~30mph. If the decreasing is too brutal, you can have body issues (collapsing, shoulders injuries etc) . So the opening is temporised. Like in car, we prefer to slow smooth than to hit the brakes.
I went skydiving once and when the parachute opened it felt like hitting a brick wall and I had a feeling my nuts almost got cut off..and that was a normal opening so I can´t imagine this
Le me, sitting there minding my own business waiting for the plane. When I overhear a wild packer saying how NERVOUS she gets while packing this dude's shoot since doesn't want to get em KILLED.... dude walks over and tips her $10. Well played.

According to the video, every 3rd jump. 😂... for real though. I've had 57 jumps and I've never had to pop a reserve. Get quality training, and get proper gear.
not often mate, but even if this happen, the instructors are here to teach you what to do in case of an emergency. So when this happen you don't even have to think about what to do ;)
I saw a guy perish on the next load after my AFF 3 jump. It made me more determined if anything but was something I wont forget. Helmet flew spinning 50 ft in the air and the body I wont describe out of respect. Corowa 1990's

That is a combo of an old, sun dried parachute and a slammer of an opening. Pack in the shade.

Thank you for sharing. At what altitude did you pull your main? It looked low.
Looked like the normal Para Plane opening in the 70's. OUCH!

38 jumps is still pretty quick, I know people that have more than 1000 before their first malfunction
3 or 4 moves (forget which). You practise them all day long for a reason.
Did you get injured or pull anything? Cuz holy crap I thought I had a hard opening until I saw you getting yanked out of the sky like that damn
On the first take, I assumed the slider was still down. May as well have been!
The slider was up - You can clearly see the slider was up on the slow motion shot, it comes down on deployment
Did you suffer any injuries from this?
Shit! That poor student. I did AFF and the big 240 canopy I was on was soft and slow as shit opening for me. That must have knocked the wind out of him and given him some heavy bruising.
Did he live? From such a low hight
"Blew of?!?!" Looked like a bit of an "ouch" opening that is for sure!
it was !
Bro went to Space 🤣🤣
Generic question but how often does a hard opening happen? Thanks
on student chute? for me it was almost half of openings
The slider, a small piece of Fabric, isn't placed up (close to parachute). As the chute opens, it slows the airflow to it. It also slides down to the skydiver as the parachute fully opens. I dont know what caused this one though, as it looks like the slider was up and slid down.
Ouch! Were you injured? How did the cutaway and reserve deployment/landing go? Did you complete AFF? Are you still jumping?
Looks like the slider came down too quick, didn't slow the opening of the canopy
don't want to point fingers, but probaly the sliders wasnt pushed between the folds of the canopy properly during packing
a guy got a hard opening in the valley a whiles ago. complained about it a little but moved on. dropped dead that night cos it tore his aorta, like fully tore his heart apart
I would do it only with 3 parachutes and an emergency knife in my left sleeve
Damn my hands sweating just holding my phone. That's scary.. So what happened next??
I once took out my bag to see what would happen on opening. Canopy repairs were expensive and I did not do that again.
what?
Did he poop in his student jumpsuit?
Oh shit that was scary
Can someone explain this? I don't understand what I'm looking at at all.
where was the slider?
What was the root cause?
What DZ is this? Looks like Jurien Bay
thewishkah i think Empuriabrava
When he landed, was he OK??
did someone forget to put the slider up?
What exactly happened with the other person falling? Did they not have a parachute?
more mass too much speed?
What kind of helmet are you wearing?
I don't even know, its a student helmet with radio inside !
What's the cause of that?
What DZ is this? Looks beautiful.
Jurien Bay, in Western Australia, a really beautiful place !!
This type of packing seems unsafe :
Bag not stabilised during the deployment ( too many twists ! )
The halyard ( drisse in french ) seems better than the slider ( only requirement : must be stiff / not old ... ) ...
No problem during 200 jumping with it....
Are you trying to say it blew “off”?
This video is listed under "Comedy", imagine that!
What do you do in this situation as a AFF student? Once the parachute deploys the coaches are too far below and the altitude is too low to help the student. Will the student have to take the actions himself from his knowledge of cutaway and reserve right?
Yes, students learn how to react to situations and how to and when to perform emergency procedures.
Well yeah. Remember a complete idiot can stand on the ground and do nothing.
Is he alive ? Did he make it out ?
That other instructor didn't let go of him in time
That wasn't a hard opening but his rate of descent was actually accelerated where it was supposed to be de-accelerating while his main was opening!
Edit;
And they took their time to initiate the opening unless this was some HALO training

@@the_cali_trainer Good! That was the thing to do!
Going to jump tomorrow with some mild neck pain. Hopefully no hard openings like that
How was it
did he die?
Woah this looks gnarly. What causes something like that to happen? Just a freak event? Is that somewhat common?
Most likely a sloppy packjob. Sometimes its the condition of the canopy or the deployment speed/position of the pilot.
That was scary. Glad you're okay!
thanks mate
Third jump of AFF is with two instructors? In France, only the first jump is with two instructors.
Two instructors in the U.S. for the first three jumps. If those go well, then one instructor for subsequent jumps through jump 7
did he live ?
so what exactly causes a hard opening?
xXspectre170Xx there are a number of things that can cause hard openings. From a bad pack job, to a bad canopy, to bad body position on pull, etc. it’s just one of those things that sometimes happen.
the age of the canopy, or parachute packed not how it is supposed to
1. High rate of free fall speed
2. Bad slider position
3. Line dumps
4. Bigger pilot chute
5. Single stowing your pack job (some cases)
Not a skydiver myself, so what exactly is hard opening and what causes it?
Generally, bad packing or bad body placement on deployment.
The sail opening makes your vertical speed decrease from ~110mph to ~30mph. If the decreasing is too brutal, you can have body issues (collapsing, shoulders injuries etc) .
So the opening is temporised. Like in car, we prefer to slow smooth than to hit the brakes.
I went skydiving once and when the parachute opened it felt like hitting a brick wall and I had a feeling my nuts almost got cut off..and that was a normal opening so I can´t imagine this
The only thing I can think is you jumped a military reserve with no sleeve.
Then you didn't have a normal opening my friend. They should all be soft and uneventful.
@@skydivinguy Maybe his 'nuts off' experience was your 'soft and uneventful'.😉😉
Rips, holes and tears!
at my DZ we always give 1st time jumpers a crummy parachute that rips to prepare them for the harsh reality of life.

Looks like someone forgot about the slider. Flung that poor student back into the stratosphere lol.
That is my thought, it ripped down the lines.

where is the cut away?
unfortunately students can not carry gopro yet so you can actually see the reserve beiing opened :)
flipping heck how far did he shoot up???
You decelerate on opening, you do not "go back up." Even though that is what it looks like with some video/s.
Primary instructor was like: "Wow, did you see that shit!?"
yep ahah too good
Who needs end cells?
Former airborne, here (101st). The last time I jumped, the C-130 was flying low and I came under fire in the last 20-25 feet of descent. Good thing that Charlie wasn't very good, or I would have had it!

@@richardaldridge5474 Neither were available back in 1968-69. The proper response is, "Thank you for your service, sir."
Ever read "War is a racket"? By Smedley Butler. Sad what psycho elite get men to do to one another. Peace
@@steffenritter7497 thank you serving our country sir!🇺🇸🇺🇸
Подобное наблюдал , когда у моего друга на раскрытии купол лопнул ровно по середине. Жалко что в то время у меня еще не было видеокамеры. Сюжет был интересный 😁😢 , а было это в 1985г. 👍🪂👍🪂👍🪂💯
That was not a hard opening. That is a rigger not tracking the conditions of in house gear.
That's a dumb comment right there.
Lmao I was not expecting that holy sheeeet
I want to become a skydiver, but how often does things like this happen? 🤔
According to the video, every 3rd jump. 😂... for real though. I've had 57 jumps and I've never had to pop a reserve. Get quality training, and get proper gear.
not often mate, but even if this happen, the instructors are here to teach you what to do in case of an emergency. So when this happen you don't even have to think about what to do ;)
I've got 2400+ jumps and never cutaway yet. Not that often is the answer.
@@fionameybirn6615 I have 2,184 jumps and 0 cutaways too. I don't let anyone pack for me.
so the parachute actually ripped
Holy shit. How old are you? Openings like that suck for anyone, but goddamn, I imagine that on a POPS jumper or SOS jumper would result in an injury.
I'm 24 :) and I guess you're right !
Haha, yeah but how frequently are you having openings like that?
People die from hard openings, older people in particular.
did he reached space? 😂😂😂
Bet that Stays with you!
Huh? Too high altitude?
nope, malfunction of the canopy :/
So did this man die or what?
nope
Is he a good health or died?
Considering the dude who had it happen is the owner of this youtube channel and uploaded this video I'm pretty sure it's safe to say he lived.
I'm alive thank you ! lol
@@Reaperdeathpunch ahah true, thanks for the positive answer :)
@@the_cali_trainer They better have passed you for this lol.
I saw a guy perish on the next load after my AFF 3 jump. It made me more determined if anything but was something I wont forget. Helmet flew spinning 50 ft in the air and the body I wont describe out of respect. Corowa 1990's
Thanks for your input mate...?
when a base jumper packs your parachute
ouch! Did you get injured?
no, nothing serious, cut my lip, and sore legs, not big deal :)
Have you completed your AFF yet?
Yep, I have now 18 jumps and looking forward to do more :)
Cool, make you're you keep on top of your sign-offs you should have your A license in 7 more jumps :-)
