This has to be one of the most terrifying skydive malfunctions I've seen in a while, and our friend Marcos dealt with the situation incredibly well! We now have more info (and HD video) about this incident:
Marcos had a hard pull and his pilot chute was still stuck in the BOC when he pulled his reserve (it was not a pilot chute in tow). As the reserve deployed, the steel rapide link on his riser breaks, causing his reserve parachute to malfunction. Luckily he didn't cutaway before pulling his reserve - he was able to manually deploy his main parachute to add more fabric above his head. He fights the spinning malfunction all the way to the ground and after a seemingly hard landing, he stands up and gives a thumbs-up to a concerned driver passing by. What a trooper!
After speaking with a few riggers about this incident, it sounds like both soft links and steel rapide links are still commonly used, but here are a few benefits with soft links: they never bend, they never crack, there's no barrel to loosen up and they're twice as strong as rapide links.
Just some food for thought and worth discussing with your rigger.
Glad you're still with us Marcos! Stay awesome and stay safe.

FF-000035 - กีฬา
His pulse really quickened when he saw those power lines.
Max Power best reply ever
Boyd Boys what a fckiij shit reply mate ur fcked just imagine if that was u
He didn't even have a human language response lol just jibberish.
Funny thing is that as long as you don’t touch anything but those power lines your good
@@Supershade9421 lol if you slammed into those power lines at that speed you wouldn't be "good" you would be torn in half. Electricity would be the least of your worries.
The fastest Uber driver I seen. Shows up to take the guy back to the Airfield...
lmao
"Would you like to cancel your ride to the hospital and go to the airfield instead?"
Holy shit man, I was watching it from a comfy chair and I couldn't have done better sitting here stress free.
Man, you are awesome, cool as ice. Congrats, well done!
Me too
As a skydiver with 4k + jumps, this scared the sh*t out of me! Marcos...way to go!
I have my first skydive next week with an instructor. Should I cancel? I’m fkn terrified now
@@Getsumsimm if you are going to a big busy DZ where they do this for a living, you should be fine. Yes there is a risk involved. You just have to know and accept that.
2890 and me too!
Question, would it not have made more sense from the get go to just cut away before the AAD activated? I feel like if he would’ve just cut away from his main sooner and pulled his reserve or let the AAD pull he probably would’ve avoided the majority of that situation right?
@@KCYO0311 his reserve malfunctioned with (strange, but see description in original video). If he cut away the main (hard pull pilot church in tow) he probably works have died. The main and reserve together slowed his descent, with the main looking like it did most of the slowing
Death was knocking aggressively and ringing the doorbell all the way until he was on the ground.
Power lines, traffic, trees, a possible down plane you missed all of them Legend
1:45 imagine you see a guy literally falling from the sky landing next to you and he just stands up and give you a thumbs up
Talk about intense!!
This guy 100% thought that these were his final moments. So lucky my man and I’m glad you live to see another beautiful day
Nice the driver stopped to see if help was needed! 👏
Nah...just to get a selfie next to a corpse. ;-)
I'd say this guy did everything right. You can say he didn't, but every action he took added up to him living. If you think he didn't act properly, then I welcome you to go out and recreate the scenario, and show him the right way to do what he already accomplished flawlessly.
Well said
Agreement
If he did then why did he have two canopies out and it looked like the first was his reserve?
Hugh Badger in the description it said he had a hard pull. He probably tried pulling twice and when it didn’t work he went to the reserve. The main issue is the broken riser or link or whatever is going on with the reserve.
Your right plus both his chutes had air flowing through them making his land safer if he cut away his main chute he would have possibly died
At the end of the clip I realised was physically holding my breath watching all that! Well done Marcos. Never give up!
Good job on the surviving!
JD omg 😂😅 is it fucked up that I laughed at that?
I've seen quite a few of your Friday Freakouts now, but this was something different, this was the worst one. My god He's happy to be alive, and WOW, how to keep his cool. Good thing he didn't cut away...
I've known three people who were saved from reserve failures because they didn't cut away from apparent total mals.
Hey Marcos, I'm just glad you're still with us!!! Nicely done, blue skies!!! (Never quit fighting!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤙🏻)
This video was a perfect example of what to do. He turned something that most like would have caused life-changing injury or death into a few bumps and bruises and a big thumbs up. Absolute LEGEND!
He got very lucky, had the chute dove at the end it would be over. I think he should have at least attempted to flare the reserve out before releasing his main
Man that was a wild ride, props to you dude! This helps skydivers to not be surprised in the air when shit like this goes down. Thank you for posting!
That man had to be thinking he was living out a fatality incident.
That thumbs up. Damn balls of steel bro 🤙
Good job dude. Glad you're alive with no injury.
Scary oO'
That's so amazing to see people actually functioning in those situations. I would've died from fear way before i fell
You did it bro! Proud of you
I’m never going skydiving on a Friday!
i learned a lot from this video. its actually my new favorite. thank you for sharing
That was intense!...Apart from the chutes malfunctioning, to me the truly terrifying part is how quickly the descent is and how suddenly there's only a few seconds until you hit the ground!! The ground came up quick!
Yes mate Life goes fast
wow, intense. The best part of the video is the thumbs up to a car that stopped! So glad he is ok!
Thumbs up... the international symbol for please go away I just shit my pants
Happy you made it!
Great job! Totally handled that like a boss! Never give up! Glad he's alright. That's got to be the worst feeling looking up expecting to see that beautiful reserve and seeing garbage. So glad he didn't chop that main! Blue Sky's
Am I right to assume that the reserve parachute was packed poorly?
This happened to the Brazilian navy officer Marcos in 2006 when in a training exercise he had a hard pull of the main canopy.
PCIT has to be one of the scariest mal scenarios. Luckily he didn't cutaway first. Wow.
The description says it was a hard pull that turned into a malfunctioning reserve there was no PCIT
Respect the driver at the end of video!!!!
Holy crap. ….. literally the scariest video I’ve seen on FF. So glad you made it out okay. I unconsciously held my breath the whole time watching this…….
My pulse is getting high while watching this! Very scary!
props to that driver for stopping
Keep doing what you love.
well done bro never give up never.
I'm not a skydiver, (but want to try it), but after watching about 10 times and spending a while trying to understand what happened, reading up what BOC is and other terminology in the description, i realise just how lucky he was not to cut away. Also how handy a hook knife can be. These videos are very helpful. Can't wait to book a skydive.
You are just like me :D
You're skilled and lucky to land in a safe place. Awesome job man !
Next to a bunch of power lines? Not like he had much say in the matter. But yes, awesome job.
the thumb up at the end is golden
All that and no cussing, I would have been cussing that whole time.
Holy shit, sitting here on couch and as you got closer, my stomach dropped as I said “damn this is going to hurt” glad your ok
Very scary! How is it possible that kind of reserve malfuction happens??
A little late, but it is still only nylon and strings
Slow air speed cause the first didn't cut properly + something else
@@sparkyrosatch2770 Whose complacency? The reserve would've been packed by a rigger. Are you saying a complacent main pack somehow caused the reserve twist? I legit don't know.
Because:
Probability of parachute malfunction: Pretty small
Propability of both parachute failing at the same time: Big
Rush reserve pack? Non rigger but supervised pack job? Your guess is as good as anyone's but just glad he made it.
What an experience and he has the video to prove it
I always wondered about double malfunctions.
Wow I couldn't shut my gaping mouth watching this video... he did amazing in a situation where anyone could panic and lose the ability to think 😱👏👏👏
Wow! That was intense! Good your safe
Man those power lines really were the icing on the shit cake.
Good job
why did he pull his reserve first, i dont understand what happend
the main failed to deploy, you can see him manually pulling out the main after
yeah main failed and his reserve had a line over. Dude was fucked and got lucky.
jack black that’s not what happened. His main didn’t deploy. Only the droge chute came out so he pulled his reserve. After he pulled his reserve the main then came out which created a nasty two out deployment. You can’t manually pull out a chute. As it’s too far behind your back. That’s why you rely on a droge chute. If you could manually pull out chutes then horseshoe malfunctions would not be a thing
@@antonio97b that's not true. The description indicates that he manually pulled out the main chute after deploying the reserve (and luckily not cutting away from his failed main). After his reserve malfunction he decided to manually pull out his main
0:35 he's literally pulling out his main by the pilot chute lol
I feel like I would have a third of this guys physical strength, and probably would have died.
That thumbs up at the end
That is a bad freaking day that turned out good in the end! Wow.
Has to be the unluckiest and then luckiest guy alive. What kind of reserve opens like that perhaps it's the downsizing that leads to less reliable reserves? If he'd cut away he would be likely dead, so much for official advice!
Wow, that was scary as f***! Dude never gave up, so props for that, but in the end two half-inflated side-by-sides added up to enough lift to land him in one piece. When grit and luck are all you've got, you go with that.
dude is lucky he still had his main
can you clarify what canopies (main and reserve) including sizes were used in this incident? are hard links common on reserves? that was scary to say the least. luckily you kept a clear awareness of the situation and acted the way you did. [blue skies]
Pretty sure I have already commented here a few times, but again, nice work of never giving up! Everytime I see this I drink one for you still being here with us!
Wow this was the worst non-fatal, non-serious-injury one I've ever seen.
That was intense!
My luck I would have landed on the hardest asphalt invented.
What a hero. God only knows what would have happened if he was not there to save his own life.
This channel is called jointheteem, but every video I watch makes me glad I’m not on the teem
Okay I'm getting an old school belly reserve after watching this and those damn power lines at the end there just to ad a bit more drama as if anymore was needed
Scary AF!!
How does he just stand up like this? I expected him to break his legs… freaky moment!
Andreas Hoppe he didn’t hit very hard in all honesty, he did a good job. I’ve seen people hit the ground harder even without a malfunction 🤣🤣
skills fella.....
Congrats Babu!
Thank God he survived...
landed very near to power lines n highway.
Хочешь жить - умей вертеться! Красавец!!!
дааа, обрыв строп на запаске это жопа. повезло что не отцепил основной! вот что происходит, когда технические условия хранения парашюта не соблюдать! и ТУ по замене частей!!
Thanks for the laugh! 🤣
Amazing how human body works .. and how its able to make heavy deep quick breath + make huge ammount of adrenaline if something bad happedned, to survive. I am happy that he landed unharmed.
His landing didn’t actually look that hard. Pretty amazing that he survived, let alone that he came out of it unscathed.
Wow 👏 good job at staying as calm as ya can. Bet if he freaked out it would've ended diff
Damn that seemed like a fatal rate of fall at the end, and then suddenly the landing didn't seem too bad.
power of the camera lens :)
This was so scary
Well done!! Fight till the limit!! Congrats!!
this is WHY sky diving companies need to 100% MAKE SURE that all the equipment works...
Never. Give. Up.
wow good thing he fucked up and didnt chop his main
some D.Z.s.teach if a total, dont waste time and bother chopping a total on the main because its wasting time getting something above your head.....and in this case.....not chopping saved his life....possibly :-)
Not possibly...
It was his reserve he pulled first
Will Ryan Exactly, but seriously, a good jumper would have cut it off.
God save him,...God bless you
Damn that was crazy
“Oh Louie!” is right.
I have been watching many of these great videos I just wonder what is the music?
Never give up.
This is why this is a crazy thing to do...
I guess I was not the only one who realized he had stopped breathing until the end.
Lol that driver prolly thinking "what the FUCK"
1. So the rapide link breaks on his reserve, causing there to be only 3 remaining risers attached?
2. In the case of a lineover on a reserve, would the best option be to cut the guilty line or lines (assuming all risers would still be connected)?
2. Yes it would.
Friggin' scary stuff! can't believe they still use rapide links. Must be a very old rig he used there. Indeed food for thought! If I would have had rapide links in my rig, after watching this, they would be gone tomorrow. No questions asked. Good job getting that main canopy out! Carrying a hook knife may be not a bad idea after all...
You're right! It's not mandatory where I jump but I do carry one normally but I lost it twice. On one occasion a jump mate saw it fall out when climbing out and handed it back on the ground. For a beer of course... But sometimes I wonder how easy it would be to drop it when you're trying to get it out of the mud flap in a high stresss situation
they probably use them because they have been working for the last 40 years or so. Just like guns, its not the links its the people
@@skydive1424 As they say "Carry two, because you always drop the first."
is there a way to pack a parachute so that this is a physical impossibility if airspeed is fast enough?
I’m pretty sure the same guy packed both chute’s! 😂
freaking s*** electricity lines...... good you are still alive
What is the rapide link and why would it break??
rapide link is a metal oval shaped link that joins to canopy lines to the risers (the broad black pieces that form part of the harness.
Its amost unheard of that they break, however they can be not assembled properly (either loose or overtightened) I have only seen one incident when a guy landed on his main and as soon as tension came off all his lines on one risers fell off. On inspection the barell nut was undone and link has bent out to an open hook joining lines and riser. It was just lucky he didnt do anything radical under canopy. It was a long spot, so traight line back and land in still weather.
These days an alternative approach is to use soft links to do the same job. Considered superior by many, especially the generations that never saw decades of rapid link use. We all like what we are familiar with.
If he would have been cut the main canopy as in the instructions, i am wondering: if there would be any possible way to resolve the malfunction of the reserve canopy? How it could be done?
It also looked as though he had two broken lines on the reserve
That’s a malfunctioning downplane.
Wow, that sucked.
So pretty much a normal static line landing lol
And this is why I will not cut away an un-deployed main before deploying a reserve...
Isn't that more risky? Obviously not in this case lol but wont that increase the risk of the bad main interfering with the reserve? I don't jump so I'm just curious.
You're not supposed to pull reserve until you cut main schute
Now imagine jumping with a sub 100 main canopy, bye bye legs.
landing at an oblique angle was the best
