Fair question :-) The cutaway handle has two yellow cables connected to it. One cable runs up the same side. The second cable goes across the should and connects to the opposite side rise. So pulling the handle pulls both cables at the same time.

@@FlightProviders Thanks. Would it then be fair to assume that the cable that crosses the shoulder feeds down through the loop from the top

Did you ever go back?

@@Psycho_SugarCraze You bet ya! Never give up on the things you love, just because of one bad experience.

Because of wendys

Yea looks like the force is distributed between the rings with greatest force on the largest one. Only VERY small force on closing loop when chute deployed. Not a skydiver (yet!) but fascinating to see how this works 🪂

@@markgreen4641 Did you go through AFF yet?

did you do it

Hanz!

Hans Gruber?

Yes, this is what the paratroopers teach their infantry. If rolling worked better they'd be teaching that. It's mostly a movie thing.

rolling is good for maybe 10-20ft max

Rolling isn't usually possible when you have a harness on and can't really control the direction you're falling. If going straight down and/or are attached to a parachute (meaning harness and 4 big straps, plus a reserve parachute on your chest) then plf is best. If you're freerunning and jump off something at an angle, do a parkour roll. If you're tackled, do a judo breakfall.

Imagine you’re Finn Balor delivering the coup de grace.

Hi Chad, depending on which skydiving center you go to they will have different training options. Here is a summary of the standard options: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWKxq4JujZqXn5Y Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Gordon, in the video you saw the yellow cable come through the loop that holds the three rings together. There are two of those yellow cables coming out of the cutaway handle. One goes to the left side release and other goes to the right. Let me know if you have any other questions.

​@Timothy Pickard Hello Tim Yes, I eventually got it. It was very frustrating at first. The AFF jumps and the A license jumps sucked big time because you don't actually enjoy the skydives since your only focus is to pass each category and make each jump as per the requisites. After repeating the D jumps several times, one of my instructors recommended me to change my body position, and that make day and night difference to me, I was finally able to arch stable (not perfect but stable) which allowed me to finally get my A license. Once you finally get your A license and you are free to jump with your own clothes and rig, each jump is just beautifull and you finally start enjoying skydiving, and you finally have time to start playing around and learn how your body reacts to wind, which makes your arch and free fall better and better. Have a look at the recommendation I posted here, it might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXXGYpeIZr9jeMk&lc=UgxC7Q8HCGza5xBjM4l4AaABAg.948KMDTX8Kj9DRdYtNvyoo&ab_channel=SkydiveVibes

@Timothy Pickard did you end up getting it. I’m having trouble too. Lol

@Timothy Pickard Understandable. I didn’t pass my lvl 2 spun out, wobbled a bit. So I’m planning on doing another 10 minute tunnel and then my lvl 2 again next week. 😬

I had the same thing so I went to ifly today it is kinda different because your not falling but I noticed this I would got to do a turn and I would get it then I wouldn't all because I was over thinking it.

@@Wemissyoutroy so did you pass?

No personal experience so I’m just paraphrasing - a military chute is designed to get the person to the ground as quickly as safely possible, a civilian chute is designed only with safety in mind. As a result the military folks have to do this rolling in order to absorb some of the impact. Makes sense if you ask me but don’t quote me on that.

If you land facing forward, you’re likely to buckle to the knees, and break your knee caps upon them hitting the ground.

So a military chute typically brings you straight down. Typically a skydiving chute will trad some of the vertical speed for horizontal speed and if you do it right you’ll stall the parachute when you’re just off the ground. The military has to do these rolls because we hit the ground at around 14-18 feet per second and around 26 feet per second if it’s a reserve parachute.

@@Patricklikesminecraf Does it take a bit of practice before learning how to fall safely inside and out or before falling like that becomes natural where u do it without really thinking much about it? My dad did this back in vietnam with the 101st Airborne division in the Army, I have a newfound respect for what he did back in the day 20yrs before I was even born after watching a lot of these types of military parachuting videos online.

It hurts a little but as long as feet and knees together, knees slightly bent, you won’t break anything lol

I may be different than most, but my neck was hurt more from landings.

no knee problems here, but I did bang the fuck out of my head a couple of times with a T-10 reverse PLF. Hated jumping when it was windy.

I’ve only jumped with the T-11 and the MC-6 and it’s crazy that I’m gonna be packing for airborne school lol

PK Coffee Creamer lol YESS!!!

Yeah xd

Yep, came here after asking myself if he was talking about a shoulder roll

Is freakin epic!

I too am proud of his work so I'm here

There is a difference between an airplane and playground equipment

You can also use the parkour/judo forward roll. It works very well, from my own experience.

An underrated video with an underrated comment. I learned a lot in just a few minutes

Underrated

@@jakescroll3646 we always called it the tuck and roll in Canada. I fell off a roof and just rolled through it one time. There was snow on the ground which helped
