This was the dropzone where the post author/editor had his first off-landing!

He was in the same area as these jumpers and will be the first to admit there are not a lot of great options. However, he brings up the point about looking in the other direction because that’s where he landed, and, at least five or six years ago, there were a few spots that were a bit better than where these jumpers landed.
He had soo much time to decide on safer landing spots. Makes it worse with a semi-hook turn with low confidence, whooshing the power lines. He also Violated the prioties of landing. I've found myself in a lot these situations. The skills acquired from the Flight 101 & 102 canopy courses came to the aid. Any terrible landing you can walk away from, celebrate 🎉 🎉 🎉
@@theaoooooo Those insta 360 cameras don’t show depth very well at all so it’s hard to tell what this jumper was seeing in real life but to me it looks like he was probably aiming for the area behind the house rather than the front yard but being above roads, buildings and trees does wild stuff with turbulence in the air so I’m guessing he lost altitude quicker than anticipated and ended up having to thread the needle between obstacles.
He had time to find a better spot but im sure he had a million thoughts running through his head knowing he wasnt going to make the lz. Hopefully he is okay and continues while using this as a learning experience
There was a huge clearing on his/her 7 o'clock. You can see another jumper with light blue canopy actually landing there. Why this jumper chose to go to densely obstructed area when it was obvious there was no way to make it back to the DZ? Arrogance and overestimation of skills?
It's sad they had such a bad spot on what looks like a very clear day... but it happens. From my experience when this happens... you have to analyze the terrain fairly quickly whilst you are at altitude, find a clearing, check for obstacles (especially power lines). Try and decipher wind direction and then do everything in your powers to get safely to that clearing. Don't be at a very low altitude not knowing where you are going to exactly land.... you can't do a go-around like an aircraft!
to be aware of all the powers, situational awaraness and paranornal skilllz, some paranormal skizz are aquitert. after all these years I think i have some experience. 🧐 most important check is be at intended dropzone to check it out . we have a simpel rule. make a selfi the day before at the landing zone. tan you know all the opsticals there. SkyGods will elude them + geve the audience a spectaculer show💕💕🕤🕤🏋♀🏋♀🏆🏆.
Still, it happens a lot that the first one makes a bad spot or does not spot at all. When it's cloudy it also happens that you cannot accurately see where you are and you go anyways. You should be able to handle yourself in such a situation.
@@yarpos not necessarily bro. Depends on your DZ location and the environment around it. It’s not inevitable, it’s unfortunate and close to 25 years skydiving I have to call bull shit on that man. There’s no sooner or later, there’s only that one moment where you need to decide what you’re going to do in an emergency landing…
I would REALLY like to know why they didnt choose the giant clearing to 7 O'Clock (at 1.12min in vid). Another canopy looks to be choosing that route (proximity isnt that bad esp after a turn). Am i missing something?
Anyone else notice he was only using the right toggle to control the angle of descent? This meant there was no flare or brief moment of lift to soften the landing or ability to correct to the left. This smells of Code Brown panic mode.
There was such a huge field off to the left that the yellow canopy in front of you peeled off towards, why didn't you just follow him there? (Just asking, friend; please don't think I'm "attacking" you) I was taught that a downwind landing IN A CLEAR AREA is better than a headwind landing into trees or houses or power-lines. Glad you're okay.😅
I had a lot of "far off the dropzone" landings (for different reasons in different places). So I could say there (on video) is a lot of place to land but not for landing after such a turn... landing on a video looks very random, like one doesn't even bother to know what's down there until the last moment.
From my armchair, it seems that it was very clear from right when he opened that he wasn't going to make it back. Then, rather than wasting precious altitude trying to get closer, it would be better to abandon all thought of making an attempt to get back, and instead use all all your focus and energy identifying a good landing spot that's within reach, rather than having all your options dwindle and leave you with nothing but danger-filled spots. Considering how bad this could have ended, he was pretty lucky.
Anybody else think he guy could've turn left early on and avoided all of this? I need more details, because it just seems so odd he didn't just go left into the field. Something else going on?
Что?.. целое поле слева по курсу?? - это для слабаков! - Щимиться, так в частные владения! - мимо проезжей части, высоковольтных кабелей, сосен, штакета - с фан-тас-тическим везением ублюдок!! :) Эпичнее могла быть только попытка таранить забор попой! :)) Но, наверное, в другой раз. Что ж, ждём новых увлекательных видосов! :)))
Once you realised your were not going to make dropzone, cut yoir losses and look for siutable place to land. I know in some situations, it might not be an option. Looks like you walked away no damage done so all good.
Something small I’d recommend is to think about throwing that visor down if you’re coming in for something like this, protecting your face and eyes can be life changing. Would suck to walk away from something like this but have lost an eye to a branch. internetadvice😑

Does it rhyme with Zebastian?
Идиот. На точность его отправьте . Вариантов было миллион . Он выбрал самый плохой
Very lucky! He looked like a pancake when he landed.
All that space in front of him and he goes for the neighborhood lol
He had soo much time to decide on safer landing spots. Makes it worse with a semi-hook turn with low confidence, whooshing the power lines. He also Violated the prioties of landing.

I have a question.
Do you know why he made hook turn ? it's his plan or he change his mind last second

I want to know that as well, that clearing has more than enough room for multiple canopies.
Horrible brake management, too.

My first solo jump I did the same thing.. After I jumped I noticed and opened right away and barely managed to get back 😄
Left side looked a lot better as far as safer options go
The green light means you MAY exit, not you MUST exit. Spotting, people, spotting.
Still, it happens a lot that the first one makes a bad spot or does not spot at all. When it's cloudy it also happens that you cannot accurately see where you are and you go anyways. You should be able to handle yourself in such a situation.
sooner or later you will have to land in an area like this, sure talk about spotting but canopy control rules
@@yarpos not necessarily bro. Depends on your DZ location and the environment around it.

Nailed it!
Those powerlines ..
I would REALLY like to know why they didnt choose the giant clearing to 7 O'Clock (at 1.12min in vid). Another canopy looks to be choosing that route (proximity isnt that bad esp after a turn). Am i missing something?
You are correct…. What in Gods name did he not land there for I wander…. Gotta be a reason…. Looks like a massive opening.
When you have all the stuff, but no skills
At 1:25 I thought they were going to go for that nice long straight clear area. Then I was proven wrong.
Anyone else notice he was only using the right toggle to control the angle of descent? This meant there was no flare or brief moment of lift to soften the landing or ability to correct to the left. This smells of Code Brown panic mode.
Got knocked unconscious from the looks of it.
looks like plenty of options but waited too long , built up areas are the worst ... was the jumper injured ?

Am I the only one that sees that big ass empty field on the left...
Not bitching, just curious. Does anyone know this jumpers history? # of jumps, time in sport, wing loading, age, weight, etc?

Canopy in front of him?
I would have taken the water over anything else the jumper was fixated on. That looks like a pretty wide and slow river.

very poor decision making, good we walked away in one piece on his legs

I know in some situations, it might not be an option.
Looks like you walked away no damage done so all good.
Plenty of room to the left, not a straight ahead level landing. Lessons learned.
Flat? Level? Flared? Canopy? 😢
If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.
How was the rest of the group ? lol
Something small I’d recommend is to think about throwing that visor down if you’re coming in for something like this, protecting your face and eyes can be life changing. Would suck to walk away from something like this but have lost an eye to a branch.
internetadvice😑
Haha way to go S
Ok wrong spot and wrong alternative. But the skydiver loose the handless and did not do flare 😮
Very useful that jump 😐
dont worry he got a full top gear that allow him to do a tiktok vdo..
Não pode querer inventar...
Come on guys 🤦🏾♂️
Focus on canopy piloting more 🤦🏾♂️
Edit. The. Video. 🤦♀️
wtf is he doing so much space to land bruhhh go tothe onely tree out there and do a turn at 10m.... need more theoric
Паника - это мое второе имя.
Don't Panic. 🙂
