I think I've been skydiving for a year since I first saw this video. Got well over 200 jumps now, and wingsuiting. This video probably gets me even more stoked than before. Hero instructor! 🤘
M C yeah but in such a way that he makes manoeuvres that he obvious isn’t ready for, and everyone knows if in trouble just bang out, ie the frog or humping the beach ball. Then u get stable. I started on holiday jumps but then went to full kit Bergen rifle n radio. Even if u left a pocket open on your backpack that could seriously effect your dive plus at altitude if your teeth are not perfect n have air in due to fillings I’ve seen some grisly scenarios. The tooth just explodes. But that’s military jumping n not the low levels no oxygen civilian jumps with not additional kit. If you can do the above then you truly are a skydiver
I think he might have tried to appear confident there, after his "flips", LOL, but I can't picture him being confident, nor should he. Putting his feet together and grabbing his knees and pointing his toes! Great for the diving board, but you aren't trying for a no splash up there. Well...maybe you are. Seeing his reflexes when he lost stability made me cringe. The impulse to bend your body towards the ground should have been broken before this.
That's why you have instructors! I don't have a lot of jumps (B-license), but it seems that although the student is (overly) confident in his ability to maneuver around, his technique to achieve stability apparently is based on flailing around until he accidentally is on his belly and stable. When he screwed up the pull (by dropping a knee), he went into "flail" mode hoping he would end up on his belly. Lucky for him, the instructor seemed to see this coming and was close by. No hesitation to move right in and fix things. Good training video to show the value of smooth and controlled movement and body position.
No. That is not why you have instructors. This instructor made a dangerous mistake that goes against all training and safety guidelines. If you have a B license you should know that. Please read my comment above. Questions, ask me. I use my true name on all social media.
1:00 reaching to pull, losing balance by dropping the knee, rotating to back while entering clouds and starting to flail around in panic. Instructor tries to stabilize and then pulls.
“Thanks for saving my life.” “I didn’t save your life, I just stopped the ground from killing you. I’m not the type of guy to let the ground do my job.”
That made my heart pound outta my chest to watch!! Kudos to the instructor!!! I've only recently gone on my first tandem, which was EPIC, but created a huge addiction that I'm craving night and day now lol. I'm planning to get my A license and watching these kinds of videos helps me to know what NOT to do lmao.... poor guy was probably scared as hell!!!
Arch hard at the waist like you're trying to hit the ground naughty bits first, tap your toes together occasionally to stay aware of your legs, and keep a little pressure on your quads with the toes pointed.
Looks to me like that student shouldn't really be working in maneuvers since he obviously hasn't learned how to stay stable in the air. A few more plain belly jump with some turns and tracking seem to be in order to learn about stable position.
During the aff you are supposed to do jumps where -you do some flips to mess up your stability and then fix it -track -turns and maybe barrel rolls and these are the things he did and I think he did them well enough (I am not an instructor so there could actually be some failing mistakes but it doesn’t matter too much for my comment because he either way failed because he didn’t pull) The only (but definitely grave) mistake in my eyes was that he didn’t pull because he got scared as he lost his balance (probably he was too tense from the adrenaline of trying to get all the exercises in one jump). However he did try to pull and probably at the correct altitude since he tried to pull at 0:59 and we can see the instructor’s altimeter shows an altitude of about 1600-1700 ft at 1:17 which means he probably tried to pull at around 4500 ft which is an acceptable altitude during the couple last aff jumps. In conclusion I think the student did fine for the most part but failed during the most important part so the jump is obviously a fail and he has to get a good debrief about the 3 most important rules: 1) PULL 2) PULL AT CORRECT ALTITUDE 3) PULL STABLE And he should always remember from now on that there is a clear hierarchy and that he shouldn’t forget rules 1 and 2 for rule 3. Also kudos to the instructor for a perfect job, he definitely deserves a lot of beers after that 😉 Blue skies and safe landings motherfuckers 🤪🤙
Why? He's a student in AFF progression. If anything it's the intructor's fault for letting him on that level (I'm guessing level 6 here) too soon. I'm thinking you're not aware this is as student jump, any skydiver would know this. While I did my AFF progression with only 1 jump for each level and never encountering difficulties most people take about 9 to 10 jumps for the total 7 levels progression. So he fucked up a level, big deal. Instructor also shouldn't have chased him, that's not procedure at all (although some DZ leave it at the personal decision of the instructor but it is frowned upon). Let the AAD handle it. My bet is, you're here commenting on this without actually being a skydiver yourself and I doubt you're deliberatly being sarcastic.
@lee hamlin Yeah, my first though was let the AAD handle it, but if the instructor here was the same one that signed off on his previous jumps it's not really surprising he decided to pull for him. I'm not even sure I would have worried about flipping him before throwing his pc for him, but I'm also not an instructor. Stuff like this is why I honestly felt safer going the static line route.
yeah, when you high up you don't see the ground coming closer at all, but the lower you get the faster the world below gets bigger. thats why it is so important to keep checking your altimeter like a maniac.
Great job by instructor. 2:04 when student reaches for pilot the instructor sees he goes unstable and IMMEDIATLY moves in. Doesn't wait to see what comes next (which by now one can easily tell the student is WAY over his head). I think he failed that level. :-)
2:03 Ok so little edit work here... remove the sky behind him and add a disco dance floor and BAMN you have a B-Boy doing some 80's break dancing! and wow he is pretty good too !
Maybe got his student open before 2.5... pulled in the basement a couple seconds before AAD fire... and that is just the bottom end. I know it is easy to armchair quarterback, but mistakes were made on that skydive.
And that, sir, is why having your main parachute opening device behind your back and "out of sight" is a bad idea (especially for students). The instructor must be in close at pull time so that he/she can readily assist. Former AFF Instructor (certified in the second AFF Instructor class).
Student is in a de-arched position and with his knees down the entire jump, Tunnel time for that guy to sort his body position out, either that or tell him to take up table tennis
Yeah, it is amazing how minor the control of your body is, especially the legs when you are a skydiving student. I know it from my own and I see it every single AFF course on the videos of the instructors. At the last course we had two student who were in the tunnel before. One of them was a old fart nearly seventy years old and he did a great job and had only to repeat one level!
The student was no way ready for a jump !!!! Some students can show solid understanding and excellent form when training on the dollies, then totally blow it when confronted with an actual jump... Instructor was a HERO in this case !!
That hand check to the instructor was interesting. " Thumbs up Thumbs up. He lost his bearing...Open palm...help!" That instructor's response was intuitive.
Dude pulls at 1800 feet, in the saddle by maybe 1300 and still pulls off his slider which can only mean one thing. He’s still about to swoop it in like a boss.
It's actually part of the AFF classes in order to get your skydiving license... "Unpoised Exit, Recovery from instability (Barrel roll, front flip, back flip)" But he forgot to check his altimeter to pull his chute (which would have automatically been deployed at ~1,000ft) so the instructor schooled his ass and did it for him, like a n00b
Im not an expert, Im at level 17, so I definitely can criticize on this student's jump. My first tip: dont do acrobatics if you cant even perform basic maneuvers such as the Arch, how to recover from a spin, or invert oneself. This guy is lucky his instructor was awesome.
At 2:04 in the slow mo replay it looks like the student reached for and pulled for something with his right hand. You can see something in his hand- possible the main chute didn't deploy?
First off the guy dose not have the skill yet to fly stable, hold a heading, make simple turn 90's, & 180's and be able to stop them, or FIND THE DEPLOYMENT HANDLE...The handle is kind of a big deal, He should really work on that one for sure... He should not be with only one instructor yet, and he needs more grown training. If you where one of my students you would be grounded.........
just saw the slow motion and yes he did i guess he should be grounded officially as he can be dangerous for the instructor Thumbs up for instructor for his professional way of handling the situation
I would have done that. He pulled his own at 1500 ft. That's low! If he has/had an AAD (automatic activation device), he could have died from a possible main and reserve canopy opening into each other. 1500 ft, that is 6 seconds from impact, and it takes 2-3 seconds for the canopy to open...
Respect to this instructor for saving a reserve opening on the back to this aff doing some kind of freefly moves backfly head down and dancing in the clouds haha. Instructor have balls.
i have no idea what happened. the guy looked more then fine in the beginning. seemed like a pro. Just looked awkard kinda. All i know is, the ground got awfully close at the end
Yeah.. doesn't look like he ran into problems and couldnt open chute. Probably just an idiot with a death wish and putting others in danger by not pulling the chute early.
I don't know how many jumps this student had before this jump but I was actually talking out loud to him!! I don't know if he just lost his control or got disoriented doing the things he did but if I was his instructor, I would have failed him on this jump!! He needs to learn more about controlling himself in free fall & to check his altimeter. I was shouting for him to gain control, don't be playing that much, IF that's what he was doing, and pull the ripcord!! I say the instructor actually saved this student's life!! 👍👍
The guy didn’t quite have the ability to control what he was attempting. All those fast tumbles would have got him rather dizzy and disoriented. Then he almost seems to get in control and ready to pull the cord but can’t quite do it for some reason then gets out of control again and the instructor moves in to help. Scary in that they were getting below 2000 feet then

Student was, maybe, just a little bit overconfident in his ability to control his movements.
Murray de Jager lol 😂 yeah maybe. You should be a diplomat 👍
M C yeah but in such a way that he makes manoeuvres that he obvious isn’t ready for, and everyone knows if in trouble just bang out, ie the frog or humping the beach ball. Then u get stable. I started on holiday jumps but then went to full kit Bergen rifle n radio.

The tooth just explodes. But that’s military jumping n not the low levels no oxygen civilian jumps with not additional kit. If you can do the above then you truly are a skydiver
There's another video that explains that he had a seizure
I can just barely control my bowel movements
I think he might have tried to appear confident there, after his "flips", LOL, but I can't picture him being confident, nor should he. Putting his feet together and grabbing his knees and pointing his toes! Great for the diving board, but you aren't trying for a no splash up there. Well...maybe you are.

At 1:24 you can hear the instructor going: “Holy shit!”. Great guy, he literally saved his life.
I heard that too!
The instructor should get a Lifesaving Award because that's exactly what he did!
Agree
Wouldnt the AAD have fired?
Lifesaving award and then his rating pulled... pin out by 2k.... BSRs are written in blood.
I’m guessing some of you guys aren’t skydivers? That’s what we have AAD’s for..
PRO TIP:
DON'T JUMP OUT OF AIRPLANES.
DeLand has some of the world's best instructors. This video proves that. Great job!
I believe you, I watched a doc on the 'frogmen' of my country, they couldn't do the jumps for aff here for some reason so they went abroad to DeLand.

I agree completely. Why the fuck is he practicing backflips before practice pulls...
AFF jumps....google it.
trial and error my friend.
Dennis Haines yup he was definitely showboating
Geez I hoped he meant to do all that. If not then not good.
They wear red so it doesn't look too messy when they hit the ground
I thought it was only Deadpool that did that?!
lol... I like this subtle dark humour.

Hey stuff happens. The student simply lost control. Congratulations to the instructor, did your job and saved a life.

Thank God you stayed with him! You saved the day bra!
"No, you dont get to pull after all that breakdancing."
My favourite part was where he got onto his back and attempted to "swim" his way back over to his belly.
Yeah, getting off your back is as easy as "rolling out of bed."
dang he was doing so well and then just completely lost control!!
He was doing so well till he got to the door ha ha
well bad ill say
hoche27 all the rolls and stuff he was doing before, he was being told to do by the instructor via hand signals. Just at the end he lost control
he had a seizure
Future pancake
He was practicing breakdancing moves and in control the entire time. Relax.
Stellar reaction by the instructor. Fully committed to saving the student.
Sorry at the bignning I laughted alot, after I saw he was in trouble so, the instructor was so wonderful, and did a good job! ! !
1:24 sums it up!!! Omfg!!!
I cannot fathom how that instructor is even able to walk normally with such gigantic balls!!!! ;-)
the Instructor was 1800 ' when they waved off... that could of been a" 2 out" if the main was deployed.. great job on the save
Pete Felix you mean if the reserve deployed. Aad wont cut tiil 800-1200 feet. It was gettin close
1 2 if he had an AAD. Not everyone has one
Not a great job. A total fuck-up by the instructor.
What does that mean?
That instuctor is awesome!!! 💖💖💖
Dude started out like a noob then got amazing from like 10-5000 feet then got noobish again
All saw was someone flopping out of control who shouldn't have.

thats the same thing the handle is just a small ball at the top of the pilot chute
PizzaChet Only tandem parachutes have drouge. I normal parachutes all you have to do is to throw your pilot chute away and your parachute opens.

Was there a malfunction? At 3:00 you see the instructor actually reaching in to pull the chute out. That doesn't seem normal.
The student failed to pull the main handle at the prescribed altitude, so the instructor moved in to exact his responsibility.
It's actually part of the AFF classes in order to get your skydiving license...

A high speed malfunction, and this would have been a very different story. Hats off to the instructor!
At 2:04 in the slow mo replay it looks like the student reached for and pulled for something with his right hand. You can see something in his hand- possible the main chute didn't deploy?
"Ok. So we agree. NEXT jump....NO SEEING IF YOU CAN DO SUMMERSAULTS...."
I remember asking my instructor at skydive miami "what is the red stand for?" my instructor said "DANGER ZONE" lol
Why did the instructor let him jump like that if he knew how out of control he was? He didn’t look like he should be jumping solo at all.
How could the student avoid this uncontrolled movements? Simply arching would be a solution?
First off the guy dose not have the skill yet to fly stable, hold a heading, make simple turn 90's, & 180's and be able to stop them, or FIND THE DEPLOYMENT HANDLE...The handle is kind of a big deal, He should really work on that one for sure...

Think he’s going to have to repeat that one.

Freestyle looks so much fun !
It takes guts to do this , l say well done to both student and instructor 👍🇬🇧

This was a instructor training jump. The guy in the red is an instructor training a student instructor how to do chase and cut maneuvers
Wow, I mean WOW. He could have even pulled him back into the plane. I've never seen that done before. .
The best instructor of the World!!!
Legit question, why didn’t instructor just pull students reserve? Handle was easy accessible. Seems low enough body position was no longer a concern?
I would have done that. He pulled his own at 1500 ft. That's low! If he has/had an AAD (automatic activation device), he could have died from a possible main and reserve canopy opening into each other. 1500 ft, that is 6 seconds from impact, and it takes 2-3 seconds for the canopy to open...
he never had control, seemed to think he was James bond

Yeah.. doesn't look like he ran into problems and couldnt open chute. Probably just an idiot with a death wish and putting others in danger by not pulling the chute early.
It's not "shoot", it's "chute" which short for "parachute". How does someone apparently interested in the sport not know this?
How is he floating without the parachute deployed?
The instructor did a good job! Well done!
Looks like the student lost his altitude awareness.
I don't know how many jumps this student had before this jump but I was actually talking out loud to him!! I don't know if he just lost his control or got disoriented doing the things he did but if I was his instructor, I would have failed him on this jump!! He needs to learn more about controlling himself in free fall & to check his altimeter. I was shouting for him to gain control, don't be playing that much, IF that's what he was doing, and pull the ripcord!!
I say the instructor actually saved this student's life!! 👍👍
The guy didn’t quite have the ability to control what he was attempting. All those fast tumbles would have got him rather dizzy and disoriented. Then he almost seems to get in control and ready to pull the cord but can’t quite do it for some reason then gets out of control again and the instructor moves in to help. Scary in that they were getting below 2000 feet then
The ultimate Spin Doctor!
Would a hard arch fix what his flailing did?
ARCH MAN ARCH!!! Amazing job by the instructor...wow. I wonder if these students ever get chewed out after some crazy shot like that 🤔
The instructors probably love this stuff for the adrenaline rush
AAD Should pop at 1800.. I'd set mine at 1500..
Hard to tell, but wonder what type of music he was listening to?
