Very interesting.My life was saved in 1973 by the original AOD (automatic opening device) on my very first static line jump. I had a full streamer,, forgot to count and lost track of time. I was totally out of control. I was about to pull the reserve after noticing I could start to see the leaves on the trees. The AOD beat me to it and it was estimated my reserve was open at about 300 to 500 feet. It was supposed to open at 1000'. That of course was followed by a tree landing from which I couldn't lower myself and had to wait a rather long time to be found. Incredibly I stayed with the sport and earned a Jumpmaster and Instructor rating. My license # is C-7477 from the USA.
. I've never forgotten it. :)
I'm amazed at how far the sport and equipment has evolved. Tandem jumping and AFF classes were not even a figment of our imagination then. I no longer jump but still love watching videos. Blue skies all! :)
Thanks a lot for sharing and watching my videos!
Thats a Carton.
As a new skydiver, I can't imagine not having an AAD. At Skydive Chicago, it just became mandatory to have one last year.
Not just in some DZ. In several Countries, an AAD is mandatory by the law.
I forgot to cut mine on more times than I’ll admit 😂
Good thing. I have always considered it as mandatory everywhere... :O
I'm a newbie also. Started my AAF at 50...🤟🤟
Have many hours above ground climbing towers and trees. Picking pine cones in Montana from super tall and skinny ponderosa pines. Started rescuing canopies from trees after cutaways 25 years ago and world trade my service for tandem jumps... Two years ago I decided I wanted no regrets, so I made the leap!!😂
Love your videos and the knowledge you give.
Awesome!
Thanks
Wow what an inspiration! Everyone gets a chance to become a skydiver and fly!! No matter the age!
I have to get one of those installed in my antique rig I bought from an old pilot. Super awesome to see a breakdown like this!
Thanks Clay!!
fuck that braaaadz shit dont smell good neither does a computer which thinks for it self made by a hate filled/designed person to relie on its own judgement overpowering and disallowing you from your own actions/judgements or decisions.
Thank you for taking your time making these videos. May the sky gods bless you.
Every week I wait ur videos
Skydive 4 life
Thanks 🙏 Kate
I appreciate that!! Thanks!
Thanks for making this video =) I was always anxious about an AAD fire while under canopy but I didn't know the altitudes were sub 1k feet
I was curious how these worked! Thanks
ALMOST THE FIRST COMMENT! Love your videos! Keep them up! As a newly licensed skydiver, I binged your videos in order to help me prepare!
Super Logan! Congrats on getting licensed!
@@SkydiveVibes Thank you!!! Will you ever make trips to the Austin, TX Area drop zones?? I would love to make a jump with you!
@@loganfike9408 Let's plan on it. I am starting to travel to other DZ so stay tuned!
Great Video, thx alot.
Hey! It would be AWESOME if you did a video on how to become a skydiving instructor and the costs/pros and cons/average pay, etc.. thanks and keep up the great work!!
And also another video on jobs in the wingsuit field perhaps in the future? Thanks again!
I remember back in 69 or 70 a popular AOD was a mechanical device made in Czechoslovakia.
wow GREAT communication
Thanks
your eyes melted me...
🐈! All 3 of my rigs have Vigil Quatros. All are changeable. 2 I’ve bought personally brand new, one was in the initial rig I bought after AFF. I’ve never had an AAD Fire, don’t wanna have one lol, but hope the device functions as desired if the time comes. Another great video!
Thanks Jason!
3 rigs!! Man you roll!!
Skydive Vibes I want all the loads!
Wow very nice Channel!
Thanks Martin!
Skydive bible 🪂 !
Can you explain about Aircrew Cypres 2?
Hi , how are you?
I am from Bangladesh.
I need a video of Cypres 2 how work.
How are you?
I need a video on aircrew Cypres 2
In the beginning when you showed the clip, that's when the AAD fired and guy landed, he checked his altimeter 5 times while on the ground lolll
Yeah hahaha I guess you can be in kind of shock after that.
This is one of my fav skydive fail videos... comments are priceless up there
Legend has it, he's still checking his altimeter to this day.
Can a non-certified skydiver, skydive without the proper knowledges just using an ADD ? I tandem before, but I have some concerns of a new company in my country, The Dominican Republic, which is promoting use an ADD for people that want to skydive, and wingsuit without knowledge/certification. I want to hear the opinion of the Skydivers community ! Thanks I know that you are required To have a certain jumps number in order to get certified for wingsuit.
but how mechanically does the AAD pull the parachute out of the container after it cuts the cord what happens?
The reserve chute has a large spring inside the pilot chute so when you pull the reserve the pin comes out of the closing loop and the spring pushes the flaps open and goes into the airstream like a normal pilot chute and pulls the reserve canopy out. The AAD has a small explosive charge that cuts the closing loop cord and the rest is the same as if you pulled the reserve handle.
I can't wait for the US to make it to the first world of units and use the international metric system
All of aviation is done in feet, worldwide.
@@TH-camr12345 Yes, almost all of aviation. Except gliders and Russians.
Expert = Pro? So-> Student/Pro/Tandem/Swoop ?
Did you dye your hair?
I'll be honest... all this feets and miles confuse me a lot
You are in metric right? ;)
@@SkydiveVibes yeah... ofc I can pause a video, convert numbers, perceive information and continue... but it erases enjoyment. Since numbers anyways are on screen, you can give two numbers maybe - imperial unit (metric unit}? Just an idea tho
@@ethanhuntmp Noted! Thanks.
origtht sweet cheeks heres hot ones at yaaa 1 dose that AAD activate while at decent at certain speed or height WHEN YOU HAVE ACTIVATED YOUR OWN CHUTE 2 can the AAD be deactivated not to be operable 3 is there a safety activation to prevent unauthorized activation like a DNA or finger inprint activation lock type system ONLY TO BE OPERABLE BY OWNER/OCCUPANT 4 does it activate at certain position while on one side or facing the sky 5 how many chutes does it activate if primary chute has failed ie disconnected of diver will it open others/secondary and reserve ??? great its like lets replace the skydiver with an automatic sself activation system to which a skydiver isnt needed to do anything.
AED Or AAD ? Those are two different devices LOL
