** What happened **
This newer jumper, with only 50-ish jumps at the time, tried exiting the plane without unfastening his seat belt. Uhhh... yeah... what else is there to say? No bueno.
** Why did it happen **
New Equipment
This may sound weird to people from the US but there are places around the world that don’t require - or at least don’t enforce - the requirement that seat belts be worn during take-off. This jumper noted that the video is from 2015 and that his dropzone had just started requiring seat belts, so this was a new procedure for him at the time.
No Gear Checks
Had this jumper sat up to check his gear before the jump, he would likely have noticed that he still had his seat belt on.
** How could it be prevented **
Gear Checks
This type of incident is a perfect example of why more experienced jumpers get annoyed when the back of the plane doesn’t get up until the red light comes on. Prior to the door being opened, it’s important to get up and ensure your pilot chute didn’t sneak out, your pin didn’t become dislodged, etc. It’s not certain that a gear check would have caught this issue - some longer seat belts still have enough slack for a person to get up - but that’s the type of thing that should become obvious pretty quickly during a gear check.
Training
We’ve seen a new jumper intentionally make sure that their seat belt was still on before opening the door at 2,000 feet. When (calmly and politely) asked “What were you thinking?!?” the jumper didn’t understand what had happened; it turns out it was their first time opening the door and they were scared of falling out below hop and pop altitude. It seems like common sense, but it’s not really discussed in AFF and new jumpers may not understand how catastrophic it would be for a plane to have a parachute deploy while the jumper is still attached to their seat belt.
** Additional Notes **
-- During gear checks on the ground, do you ask yourself or your buddies: “Where’s my/your hook knife?” This scenario is yet another example of why that question is important and why a hook knife can be as critical as an altimeter or an AAD. Had this jumper's main or reserve deployed, pulling them back in would not have been an option and a hook knife may have been the only way to prevent a very tragic ending.
-- Someone who reviewed this video asked, "Why did they have him move to the front of the plane?" Well, the simple answer is that - after a totally bone-headed move like this - it's understandable that a jumper could be shook up to the point where they're not in the right frame of mind to make a skydive... and if they're not shook up, then they're so clueless that they certainly need remedial safety training.

Making up for last weeks "Freakout!" Did we do better?
When are you guys getting more jerseys? I've been waiting for you to have a black or red original jersey in XL for what feels like forever.
Yeah this was a good one
Jerseys?
@@TC.7 yeah what he said
The tandem praying for his life afterwards lol
Haha! I saw that.
That was hilarious lol
Lmfao buddy was shook 🤣🤣🤣
😳😳😳🙈🙏🙏🙏🥺
"Please do not skydive with our plane still attached!" - The Management
Plane: "Remove before flight"
best comment ever xD
Plane1-to-plane2 skydive has been done before. This is the first time a jumper exited and reinterred the same plane. Bravo!
Actually, it wouldn't be the first time - it's been done before, properly, by having the jump plane dive past the freefalling jumpers. :)
That tandem student though. xD
Tandem students having having 3rd thoughts at this point.😆
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmaoo
and theres goes my tea
Legit, at least 3rd thoughts if not 4th or 5th! 🤣😂🤣
in the end, you can see that the tandem guy puts his hands in his face, probably thinking that jumping wasn't a good idea hahaha
That was the most funny part
He started praying after saving the belted man. 🤣
I think he was praying 🙏
They gave him a Time Out after he came back in
I think he gave that to himself. So he could change his underwear
I hate it when I do that getting out of the car, dangling by the door...
Ironically I've done that before🤣 long story short I had to fight a crackhead, as you do sometimes, and my driver and I had different ideas of what should be done. Maybe this is why I skydive?
Shortest Skydive Freefall ever 😩👍😄 im glad that the man is not hurt 👍😊
I imagine it's not often that one gets to jump twice from the same airplane on the same flight.
Too bad he was grounded for that day.
I love it when even the tandem student gets in on the action. This is why I add a hook knife into my handles checks
In my last days as a skydiver, I also had a hook knife, but all years before I don't had one. Glad that i never needed it.
Thankfully he had a great jumpmaster who could react and safely advise him to wait for the next pass. Superb leadership 👍
Whut?? There's no fucking reason what so ever for to wait. He could've perfectly jumped. Also, not that "superb leader" wasn't even able to get him loose. Those straps have a very simple release strip that needs to be pulled and it will release even with tension on it. The fuck has this even to do with "leadership"??
@@flybeep1661 the guy has just been banging around the outside of the plane, uncontrolled, attached to a restraint - and then has been dragged back inside, which included intervention by the tandem student who knows nothing about what he can and can't touch on the guy's harness.
I think at least another gear check is in order before he exits, don't you?
In addition, by the time he's back inside and safely unhooked, more than 30 seconds have passed since the previous group exited. They might be too deep for him to open at his planned altitude and still make it back to the landing area.
APRIL FOOLS!!!! I got you guys!!!! Ya'll thought I was jumping outta this here good plane??? Jokes on you!
The most frightening bit was having a tandem student grabbing hold of his kit pulling him back in.
What's stronger, your canopy or the belt
@@tousledmonkey Both are strong enough to bring the aeroplane down if the tandem student pulled the guy in by his reserve handle.
У меня была похожая история...выпустил одного и пока готовил другого, обратил внимание на его расширенные глаза. Проворачиваюсь, а тот первый висит уцепившись за порог двери Ми-8 и что-то кричит. Я нагнулся к нему и услышал--- что,, можно ? Я ответил,---- да можно,! Он отпустил руки и полетел вниз. У парня было не более пяти прыжков. Естественная реакция человека-- цепляться за все, чтоб не упасть! :)).
😂
I can't imagine what a premature opening would do when that happens.
rip his container from his body and he now has to pray to whatever deity that he doesnt fall out of it
It was the shorts. You can’t be taken seriously with those things. 😂
that could've been a disaster. glad the reserve handle stayed put.
Seatbelt check? Check! You might want to check his rig now to make sure he didn’t forget something there...
glad it turned out OK, lots of juicy opportunities for a deployment while attached to the plane. Crisis averted.
Tandem student praying at the end was the best part 😆🤣
this happens to you when you don’t have enough money for a real parachute jump
*transaction declined, insufficient funds*
I have an Audible Altimeter in my helmet set to 2000’ as a reminder to take the seatbelt off. I feel it’s a good reminder. Also set at 8000’ to do my final checks of three. It’s a great tool to have in the inventory for some added safety.
Same here
I nearly did this on jump 20, luckily I was doing FS training and my instructor spotted it.
People on the ground: "How many jumpers were on that load? Do you see any others?"
@1:06 best part: tandem passenger :))
Rambo had the same problem but he just cut the seat belt with his knife
Haha, he was smiling all the time and after he got back on the plane, did he ask if he can jump again now?
If he jumps again on the same flight does that count as two jumps and 1 landing?
This could be the most hilarious video you’ve uploaded. 🤣
We got another Rambo 2 situation! 😂
That tandem student thought he was nervous before. Now he KNOWS this was a bad idea HAHAHA 1:06.
This bud' is having such a nice views from there, ngl.
Там пассажир тандема в прединфарктном похоже
Интересно. Прыгнул он ?
The seat was fastened in a proper way to the plane. Thanks for that.
The ONLY time you're allowed to jump out of the plane that fast is if someone shits themselves.
Remember a similar one and the other jumper acted quick and used a sky hook 👍
So going on the description, you said he got put to the back of the plane in case he was 'shook'... wouldn't he be put to the back and ride the plane down because an event like this could've damaged his equipment? Either loose pins/handles, ripped leg straps etc.? I mean if this happened to me I'd ride the plane down and get a rigger to fully check my gear
Ohhhhh, that's DEFINITELY a case of beer, or two.
The way felt every Monday morning trying to remember where I set my school books
Imagine if his chute prematurely opened up at that point too! Holy fuck...
Lol I almost did this to my self today, luckily our 182 has short seat belts.
And that ladies and gentlemen is why we check each other. Amateur hour and complacency right there! :/
Quite disrespectful calling the JM an amateur.
I forgot to take off my seatbelt once. Someone let me know a couple k from jump run thankfully. I was far enough from the door that it wouldn’t be an issue but still felt like an idiot.
Probably one of the few times when someone jumps out of a plane and manages to get back in. Good call that he went to the back of the queue, he would need time to recheck his kit is safe.
Suggest he do the checks on the ground.
That's one way to get the adrenaline triggered when you've run outta ideas.
At least it wasn't the tandem instructor that got hooked, because I have seen that.
All the tandems landed off. Lol.
And winds were 20 on the ground 🤣
My hands always start sweating like crazy when seeing stuff like this
They all were like bad sign i aint jumping now lol.
Nothing like dragging your handles on the doorstep while you're still seat belted to the aircraft you're currently hanging out of to spice things up.
Lol, imagine being the tandem student on this haha.
He looks like he was having a right laugh. I've left a karabiner cliped to my hip ring before and forgot whne I got up. It's all about not looking like you're panicking like f%$k on the outside.
haha the poor tandem guests are so shoock
Glad to know the seat belts work!
So lucky his pilot chute did't slip out,
looks like it's rattling around inside that rather tired BOC,
I wish everyone would use a Locking Tag of some sort on their P/C handle just to give a wee bit more protection against the potential of a premature deployment.

True, thanks for the link!
First man in history to jump out of the same plane twice in one trip. Nice 😉
doesn't everyone unbuckle and get comfortable at like 1000ft 🤣
I know and experienced tandem instructor that did this on a solo once.
Hahahaha those tandems
So if he hadn't undone his seat belt, how did he manage to stand up? That's the point of a seat belt, to hold you onto the seat. I suspect that the buckle got caught in his gear.
Seatbelts in skydiving planes are different, instead of holding you down onto the seat like in a car they are more like a 1-2ft belt that buckles onto the side of your rig. They’re used until you get above 2k ft in case the aircraft does some funky business so no one falls out at such a low height.
But his look of embarrassment was so cute lol
Sharp as a bowling ball
Bud light presents, Real man of genius: today we salute you mr. Jumps out of airplane while still attached to airplane; "mr. Jumps out of plane with seatbelt!" 13,000 ft in the air is a high altitude, so why not take extra precautions on jump run; "OOOhhhh, safety fir-irst!" While every tandem student is scared out of their mind, YOUR not, because you take extra steps to make sure you wont fall out on jump run; "OH, open door secur-ity!" So while your dangling from that aircraft taking in the views, be sure to crack open a budlight, cuz your not falling out of no airplanes today, YOU'RE hanging around to safely land with the pilot..the COOL dz pilot.
It could’ve been worse.
He could’ve had no parachute
That would have been fine, he still had the safety belt.
He also forgot to wear pants.
Is there a standard procedure for this case? I was also thinking of cutting the seat belt because that pilot chute or reserve could go off. But then the seat belt is probably flying around the jumpers’ waist all the way down. Not too nice when one thinks of deployment.
Im only aff student but first thing that came through my mind was cut the belt asap, you really don't want to get premature opening at this stage
@@adamsvacek8506 agreed that a premature deployment could be disastrous, but it's probably still relatively unlikely.
Don't forget that deployment systems are designed to be pretty secure until they are deliberately activated. They have to survive people climbing out and hanging on to the side of the plane while floating, collisions on exit, mid-skydive funnels. Of course, that depends on the gear being properly maintained and the handles properly stowed.
I'm not saying this was the right or wrong thing to do in this circumstance. But if you think how often people have probably climbed out on the float rail with pilot chutes half hanging out, _that_ should give you the willies. It certainly does me! :D
@@MrReasonabubble yes, that's true I totally agree with you. But you know, the chance even if small one for it happening is still there.
Well, the right answer in the case is hook knife the seat belt, not pulling him back up... a drop-plane *must* have one
hey wait, get back in here
I hear they charged him two jump tickets
Well the seat belt works
What use is a seat belt that is so long you can completely exit the plane with it still attached?
Where’s the hook knife like the video with the wingsuits guys?
Tandem student getting the money's worth
There’s a little too much slack on that seatbelt
a freebag costs like $111
Well at least the seat belt works....
At least you know It works
Well, we know that safety feature works.
He pay for a bungee jump, not for a freefall jump. That’s why 🤷🏻♂️
Бетман)))) вышел и зашел ! Красава
Mr Darwin explained this.
That's insane 😳
What people are not seeing here, is that it was just a failed "bungy jump"
why do you lose your reserve freebag,brifle and pilot chute isnt that just a waste of money
No hook knife?
That's not how you do static line jump.
Aren't you suppose to take your belt off at 5K?
Tandem customer Lol.
Did the tandems continue? 🤔
Like a proooo
soooo, he gets to jump out of the plane twice while only paying for 1 lift ticket?
My question is why???? Are you buckled up in the first place...
It is required by FAA regulations. You don't want people flying around the cabin in the event of a crash on takeoff. Normally removed at 1,000 feet.
@@johndelprete8175 sounds strange because our planes dont have seatbelts 🤣🤦♂️
Oops!
Haha it's my dropzone ! Hello Bondues !
no one had a strap knife?
Seatbelt? I don’t get it
А нафига он пристегнулся? ДПСники что-ли рейд проводили?🤣
Sweet Jesus 😳
Hi
