On an AFF Level 5 jump, this skydiving student has a typical dive flow but he loses track of altitude and the instructor reminds him to pull.
As the student reaches back to pull, he becomes slightly unstable and ends up pulling the pilot chute behind him instead of straight out to the side for a clean deployment, which causes the bridle to wrap around his foot. Just before the student flips onto his back to try to clear the entanglement around his foot, the d-bag comes out of the container and the lines get entangled with his legs once he's on his back - a very messy situation for any skydiver, let alone a student.
Luckily he was able to cutaway and deploy his reserve parachute by 3,000 feet.
Phew. That'll get your palms sweating.

the instructor is just like ‘good luck’ and pulls his parachute 😂
Lol, he was like you a few seconds , good luck!!!
What a instructor lol! Good luck mate cya!
There's nothing he could have done at that point, except get entangled with a BOS (ball of S).
what's the instructor supposed to do lol?? become super man and save em
The instructor would not have had the time and would have risked to get entangled which would be even riskier. In this distance and scenario the instructor can only pull and wait that the student pulls the reserve or the AAD fires the reserve at some point... You get briefed for that very clearly in AFF training for such scenarios as a student.
The student did not panic. Great job.
@F. A. You're an idiot. There's nothing the instructor could have done to help him at so low of an altitude.
The guy survived and there was nthn in the world the instructor could’ve done. You wwatch too many movies. First go skydive and get your license then you will understand that there wasn’t a single thing the instructor could’ve done
he did everything wrong
@F. A. you've never jumped before in your life lol
That's cute. A little parachute for his little foot.
Man0fMeans 😂😂😂
🦅
he should have not held his foot so fucking near hi sbody
lol, he just needed to pull about 20 more cords and he'd be all set!
You are evil!!! Haha. Lol
The great thing about skydiving is that if it goes wrong then you've got the rest of your life to fix it.....
😂good one
@F. A. Yep, you've no idea what your are talking about
@F. A. you actually dont have any clue. there is literally nothing the instructor could have done. I think u've watched too many movies. you also type and sound like an absolute fucking tool
This is amazing
The great thing about skydiving incidents caught on video is that we can always count on some variation of this comment.
Parachute for sale!! Jumped once, never opened. ;)
Trop facil
Christopher T hahaha
It's parachute for sale used once never opened small stain .. lol
Christopher T 🤣🙏😂 buying option only ONCE in life😂🙏🤣
Good humor!😂😆
I love those nightmares where you go parachute jumping and the damn thing won't open... You get scared like hell.. you wake up all shaky and realize you are in the midst of a plottwist and it's not a nightmare.. it is real... Makes you feel alive.
Took it like a champ and simply fixed it. That's why you have to remain calm and focused.
He didnt fix the main for sure. You see the freebag flying away. Your main canopy doesn't have a freebag which flies away, only the reserve. Either he pulled the reserve himself or the AAD fired because he was too low.
no he did everthing wrong,
Is this a pilot chute in tow, or a pilot chute in toe?
Pilot shoe in tow
MarijuanaCanada You missed the joke.... To Saddle Sore this comment deserves more likes.
You missed HIS joke!!
@@MarijuanaCanada oh.... I totally did lol.. that's pretty good 😂😂😂
:))))) epic!
He ain't relaxed enough and knees low... He reacted according to prodecures
That man there deserve to call him Skydiver.He is a student and manage to escape this situation!Well done!
I had a similar experience with the early 'throw away' pilot chutes, except I was quite an experienced jumper. Mine was wrapped around my arm and for some inexplicable reason, I couldn't get it off. The main, still mostly contained in it's deployment bag (jumping a now non-existent 'aero conical') came around to my front and was bouncing on my now upturned belly. With the pilot chute still wrapped around my arm, I dumped the reserve before the canopy started taking air and lines extended.
Very messy and dangerous situation.
@jamesT I'm glad you're around to write about it on (the now existent) TH-cam.
Man was he lucky!! I thought for sure that I was watching someone about to die...
I'm impressed the student didn't panic. I probably would have been a splatter mark.
There IS a reserve..
All I ever seen was people bounce.
@@ProTuner06 you don't know how bad my luck can be. There is a reason I wouldn't be allowed to go airborne.
0.48
That shot with the guy upside down and his drag looped on his foot...with the the ground getting ominously larger in the background just reminded me why I never went past one tandem jump. That guy is a trooper. I shat a pant FOR HIM.
just one pant?
That student will be a very good safety jumper lol...
My first jump was a static line at 3500ft in Duanesburg, NY in 1992. It was a small operation out of a barn with a Cessna 206 (I think) and a grass strip barely long enough to get airborne. The guy before me was with a group of WWII paratroopers all getting in a last jump together. He got out on the strut and I heard a few cuss words and a few Jesuses and Gods. Jumpmaster eventually had to push him off. I heard he never even released the brakes and floated into a field. I never found out how he fared. I, on the other hand was the last out. I knew something was wrong almost immediately. Being my first jump, I really didn't know what. I was falling pretty fast and the risers were twisting as I saw blue, green, blue over and over. We didn't even have an altimeter (no need for a static jump at 3500). I remembered my rudimentary training and grabbed for the emergency handle. It was a one-pull system that released the main and also released the pilot for the emergency chute. It took me what seemed like an eternity to find it because it had shifted higher up from the partial parachute pulling on the harness. I arched the best I could (never having arched in the air before). The air got loud for a brief moment as I fell faster and then almost silence. First jump, landed under emergency. I was told I had a line-over. I also lost the red handle for the emergency chute and they wanted me to buy them a case of beer for that, but relented when my jumpmaster told them it was a line over and somebody had probably packed the chute wrong. I went back the next weekend to do it again. Almost 30 years ago and I can still replay it in my mind in slow motion.
D-burg! I made my first several jumps there at Bob's place (aka Chief). I quickly became a SL instructor and my first student chopped. I played a big role in retiring that equipment. For all we know we probably jumped the same rig. Now they've got beautiful student gear and new tandem rigs and business is good in Saratoga. Feel free to stop by sometime.
And regarding that guy who never released his brakes, he was totally fine. I heard about him and I've mentioned that story to my students.
Think he changed his underwear after.
Note to self: Just leave tennis shoes in the landing zone. For bonus points: try and land in them.
This is how you almost die trying to make your life more colorful with an adrenaline sport.
I was wondering if he deployed his reserve or if it was an automatic deployment of the reserve. Thanks for the info in the description.
Well if he was a student there's like a 100% chance that his rig was equipped with an AAD.
It’s possible he deployed his reserve. If you look at 0:54 at the left and goes to left top of the screen it does look like he cut away
The main was cut away. You see it disappear to the left of him..
@@peroleable Thats a freebag, not main.
reserved one?
omg what a stone age technology...
All's well that ends well. At least he knew I need something bigger over my head.
Good jump! Student is aware enough to fix his shit!
Excellent recovery. Glad he lived to tell the tale. I only did 2 jumps, then realized hang gliding only for me thanks. More flying time.
Good god that was close
Good job student. Didn't panic
From all the things that could happen, this is the one I am most afraid of. ...... and a double canopy downplan .
I'am afraid of cutting away low, premature hard opening and hard opening. I mean i'am afraid of any kind of problems but those 3 are most i'am scared of...
Yikes that will.never leave my mind now.
Hashtag.... teacher doesnt care and saves himself😭
That is true, bad teacher! In other cases the teacher save the students
Instructor has rules to follow just like his student does.
What is the instructor going to do? If he moves in to help the student he not only risks disorienting the student but also risks becoming entangled with the pilot chute as well. The only solution to the problem is for the student to cut away the mains and deploy the reserve. There is NOTHING the instructor can do to help the student. This isn't a student that has lost control and is tumbling, or forgot to deploy, this is a student who's had a malfunction.
Not at all. he wouldnt have been able to do anything at that height anyway, if he had got close he would have probably gone into an opening canopy and killed them both. he did what he was trained, and so did the student fortunately. But the student will have had an AAD most likely nowadays anyway. Nice job by both... ps Ive only got 700 jumps but more of an idea than most you tube commentators.
Yikes, would have liked to see the POV on that one, thank god it cleared, pilot chutes have a mind of their own.
it didn't clear, looks like either the AAD fired or he pulled reserve. (you can see the freebag).
No POV on student, he was under canopy by 3k so no AAD fire. Read the description
Ready my comment douchecleaner, I know there wasn't a POV mount on him Fuck stick, which is why I said I would have liked to see one: had there been one. Jesus, another 600 jump chump who thinks they are an expert.
lawfreefly, little hostile there! The suggestion you 'read the description' was uncalled for, but really... 'douchecleaner'? 'Fuck stick'? '600 jump chump'?
And the phrasing of your comment, although I understood it, does suggest you might have thought there was a POV camera.
Why is it so many people in TH-cam comments threads seem to be so damned angry?
MrReasonabubble he just projected everything that he is on you. Don’t mind this guy.
What I don't like about skydiving is that you won't be there at the board of inquiry to make your case…
So where was the reserve chute kept, I could only see the one on his back. Just watch the ground and how fast it's coming up to meet you.
both canopy are mounted on the back of the jumper, lower compartment is the main , upper compartment is the reserve (just behind helmet in freefall)
This kind of video always scares me as a coach !
well is that how it works as a student? Like it’s just kinda on your own and pretty much the teacher is just hoping you do it right
Adrian Orbe no it’s not like that at all students can’t judge when to pull so they tell them to pull, you get trained before this is just by chance
For your first 4 jumos, you have 2 instructors holding on to you until you deploy
@@ukariah LOL, students are 100% expected to know when to deploy.
NOT on my bucket list
I bet the instructor was almost as relieved as the student when he saw the reserve canopy. I'm guessing he could not have helped due to altitude.
Correct, chasing him would have been more dangerous, instructor pulled and trusted the student would do what he was taught and he absolutely did
You are 100% on your own after the pilot is pulled.
Who is the name of this "small black ballon"
Black tar heroin?
I was wondering why you didn't go after him to help
read comments above, that is how you end up with 2 dead people not just one with a problem
"I was wondering why you didnt die trying to save him"
The instructor is human, not Neo. Thats why.
Boy, This show really makes you not want to try it!
if it wasn't for the AAD he'd be dead. Student:" Istructor, say my main doesn't open, how long do I have to do a proper cutaway and reserve pull?" Me:" The rest of your life".
AAD don't do cut away...They deploy the reserve.. I can see the Student used the cut away..As His main can be seen floating away still in the bag......
@@MasterChief-sl9ro pretty sure that’s the reserve’s pilot chute and freebag you can see floating away. But idk.
I spotted the problem right away.....it was at the 10 sec mark when he jumped out of a perfectly good airplane........
You failed to see that the plane had a big hole they were jumping out of
great job instructor........ NOT. the student got out of that mess on he's own no thanks to you...
There was nothing the coach could have done here. To attempt to Delta to the student and take care of entanglement could not have worked judging from altitude. We are trained from the beginning in emergency procedures and the student took care of it as he should have.
Kudos to the instructor for teaching EPs.
In this case, the instructor did his job quite well (on the ground), as evidenced by the performance of the student; remaining calm and promptly and correctly executing his EP's. Instructor did EXACTLY what he was supposed to do as well. Good job guys!
amazing
I think the AAD would have fired anyways
Now that makes me wonder, how much does it costs ($) to become a licensed skydiver?
Aju Jacob around 2k for A license...if you don't have to repeat jumps from sucking lol. Then if you buy new gear it can go up to 7k or so for just a rig.
Hey. I did a video about skydivong cost for the whole progression of you want to check it out. But about 2k as said earlier for AFF.
Oh sure I would love to check that out where's the link?
Keep up the good work 💪👍
Aju Jacob thanks. Here it is: th-cam.com/video/WoDB3DYZq3g/w-d-xo.html and you'll find way more to help your skydiver progression on my channel. ;) Let me know what you think!
my leg does that too
Did he use the reserve? I couldn’t tell.
He did, you can see the main canopy released in the slow-mo and the yellow reserve deployed!
@@c762x39 How can you release the main canopy when it's still in the bag?
@@Doodles1947 @Doodles1947 You can't see it unless you watch this video on a desktop and large screen monitor. You'll see the white uninflated main canopy flying off to the lower left of the screen... looks like a white curly noodle. The AAD must have deployed the reserve canopy located within the container?! This action would jettison the main canopy in whatever state it's in...
If at first you don't succeed.... Skydiving is not for you
Phew !
OMG....😱
If I saw this right, the instructor was under canopy and in no position to help. It seems like the order should be reversed.
In theory that sounds good, but in practice and instruction it isn't.
As an instructor you can only chase them so far before you have to save your own life. Plus when the student turtled up and zoomed away, there was very little the instructor could have done to get to him.
Once you pull the pilot chute, you're 100% on your own.
That is a poor design. Wow.
The 'design' had little to do with it. He flubbed the release, and the freak direction of airflow caused it to wrap around his leg.
OMG
Meh he didn't die .
1000$ spent.
Just a repack, AAD didnt fire
😱
Once we'll cry and laugh about present skydive technology. because it's stone age technology right now, and noone do nothing with it... As I understand if you can't untie that off, the only way is 1. throw the main one away, 2. open the reserve one?
А что в такойиситуации делать...)))
Распутывать
@@РазрушительзлаОгненный Если сил хватит подтянуть :) Вытяжной на такой скорости , должен тянуть не хило .
Sheesh
Who in the hell teaches these students? Hands out in the front ---- legs too narrow --- feet flapping all over the place. Just teach them to ARCH and their instability is gone. Good grief!!!
He lost altitude awareness too. Instructor telling him to pull.
Неуклюжий человек

1 min: I seriously doubt, that this skydiver was a student...... ! // Maybe just another fake or missinterpreting youtoube-vid seqence...... :-(

Throw a rock and it sticks up there.... cuz science!
If he is a student than why u are away from him to save his ass in case. And if he is student he is super good to save his own ass from that accident and this makes him better than u are
Levent Özer you clearly have not jumped before...
thats true
Levent Özer In Aviation the student needs to fly alone asap. You see here why.
And you see on the street, where students drive alone when they have their license, it's better to be responsible for yourself asap
so how can he learn by himself, when he makes a deadly mistake? "Next time, you better bring your emergency parachute."
wurzelausc You don't have trust in the students. Almost everytime they get themselves out of dangerous situation :) That's why they learn with the instructor at the beginning. But later there comes the point, they have to do it alone by themselves
Bad vidio
What a crap Para it comes out near the feets - serious ? This is like having a chainsaw only function direct in front of your face.
I hope that student sticks with it. He's a natural! That was perfection if you forgive the awkward leg-kick deploy. Stable during the exit and freefall. He recognized the horse-shoe malfunction and didn't panic, immediately working on the problem. Unable to clear it, or unsure of the equipment's condition he went to emergency procedures. Absolutely spot-on and didn't lose awareness throughout. This video should be archived at every jump school as how to handle a very bad situation. This guy is good!
Slartybarfast
Are you his dad?
This was not a horseshoe. A horseshoe malfunction occurs when the main closing pin releases the main canopy bag which then trails behind while the pilot chute is still stowed. What happened here was that the bridle wrapped around his leg after he pulled his pilot.
Aether So it's a pilot chute entanglement or, is it a pilot chute horseshoe?
This is a pilot chute entanglement. Usually when someone talks about a horseshoe malfunction (sometimes called an out of sequence deployment), they're talking about the main d-bag releasing before the pilot chute has been pulled. So the d-bag would be trailing from both the risers and the pilot bridle.
Yes this is more a pilot chute entanglement and I would say that going on his back as a student might have been dangerous since his freefall rate accelerated and at that experience you don't necessarily have full altitude awareness yet. He could gave cutaway on his belly, I think. (Of course the important is that he saved his life) What do you guys think?
seeing the freebag and reserve was the best part of the video, thats what this channel is for, learning.
I love how the other guy just pulled his own parachute like "Well, he's fucked." Didn't even try to help.
Dude that's the same thing I was thinking
@@deadspline3252 they ended up way to far away to catch up with and hell
Help how?
@@МихайлоРостов looked to be a beginner jumper and in situation like this the instructor can sometimes get up to them and help untangle them.
He was way too fast and far away, would have been dangerous trying to catch up with him at that altitude. What if the student unwraps his parachute and openes it shortly before the instructor catches up with him? Could have killed both then by the instructor getting into the open parachute. Staying away was the better option here.
I had the almost exact thing happen to me on the 9th jump. Wrapped the pilot chute bridle around my leg, had to roll over as in the video while attempting to clear it, but the pull from the pilot had the strap firmly against my leg, I tried, once, twice, and on the third try before going to the reserve got my fingers under it and pulled it free, deploying the main, too low for my comfort. The instructor met me on the ground with a "holy shit" look and said "Glad you figured that one out! I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to head home, but if I were you I'd go straight back up. What do you want to do?" I went right up on the next plane and did two more great jumps. Eventually got up to 21 and had to stop for $$ reasons, but getting over the event right away was the absolutely best move. Get back on the horse!
Did you stick with it?
@@SimoBenziane Well after the incident I made another 12 jumps but ultimate stopped because of the cost to me at the time. Now with a family it's harder to rationalize getting back into it, but it's awfully tempting :)
@@rodanvsandrew I'm glad you're okay and found a passion. Not many can say that. Good luck
If you slow vid down you can see because of his body position on opening his right leg is very close to bridle on deployment but full credit for staying calm and deploying reserve.
I know he can’t really go down in time to save him because that’d risk them both but man just the way he looks away from him falling and pulls his own parachute. Cold 💀
Look like he was below 3000 what altitude did the instructor deploy.
this is me on my 7th and last free fall jump over 30 yrs ago, jump, good arch, flipped, could not get a good arch, pulled and went for ride of my life, pilot chute wrapped on left leg, heading straight down... after repeated attempts and I could feel line slipping thru upper thigh and starting to move as I arched head thinking if this does not work, get ready to pull reserve... the most beautiful green canopy ever, my last free fall. Did x3 more company jumps with 82nd Airborne before my ETS, crazy days!!
Happy to know 😊

Smart student who kept his wits about him.
Shit man!, I always thought that someone would help you out, but that guy was totally on his own!!!.
Better late than never
What did he do wrong? Was it just that his leg was in the wrong position?
Was that the instructor's camera shooting the video? Shouldn't the instructor have gone into a dive to untangle the student's...drogue(?) chute?
I've never done this (only a bit of hang-gliding years ago), but I'd like to know the answers to these questions before I might ever take it up.
looking at it a combination of things happened, a bit of leg flailing, to much bridle exposed, maybe a little slow to chuck the pilot chute
Thanks
The moment you realize time and speed not on your side!
This is my home dropzone! Skydive utah is the best!!
Yes it is! I thought the scenery looked a little familiar!
That was one hell of a ride! Blue skies buddy
Was that an AAD fire, or did he pull the reserve. BTW, that was in Erda, Utah.
This is why I sit Indian style. 😜
Sometimes only YOU can save your life !
Looks like the bridle came out early, out of sequence, and caused a modified horseshoe -- probably a poor pack job. That's why I ALWAYS pack my own main!
You need glasses. Bad body position and he thew it into his feet
Good Job, no brain lock here. You did well...Blue sky!!!
Yet to get my license so not the best idea to sike myself out by watching theses videos but the worst part is that is the place I would get my license at.
Andrew Dunn The air near that jump site causes the pilot line to wrap around your ankles more often. Don't do it.
Don’t worry if a girl can do it do can you ;)
Awesome job saving his own life!!!
Skydive Utah in Tooele. Nice DZ.
y first jump going tandem / also watching video's non stop
Why untangle the parachute when they have a second one? Don’t they?
If that was me in the video you would see a fine mist jet spray of shit all the way to the bottom.
ive experienced similar one 20 yrs ago.. felt horrible in some sec!!
Same, in my first jump I made a summersault through the lines due to the lack of reference when falling free and got totally entangled in the lines and had to deploy the rescue, made two more jumps that was pre paid then didn't continue :(
Did he go onto reserve?
I did just write this comment so i know when some give a Real answer
yup, you can see the free bag.
The free bag is visible after deployment...Yes!
did the instructor recover the free bag
Can we tell if he performed Emergency procedures or was it an AAD?
Welcome to the gulag
I'm just going to go on that big propleear fan, same shit
He's awesome. That's a really difficult situation. No one have ever told you how to handle pilot chute entanglement on foot. Did he cut away before or after clear all the entanglement?
how can you say no one told him?
I teach my students about this and more.
Its covered in your training.
Good Instructor.
Really bad Instructor 😡
