Accidental AAD Fire

Sometimes its just not your day.

[@davidsakal449]

No accidental firing. You exceeded the parameters and it did its job!

[@SkydiveHawaiiKid]

True 👍 Accident was my doing

[@jackfrost3573]

That is what the AAD said.

[@SkydiveVibes]

Hey TK, can I use this footage for educational purpose?

[@SkydiveHawaiiKid]

Yep, please let people know who and where you got the video from.

[@claudiovelazquez7973]

El AAD salvo muchas vidas, pero también dio muchos sustos.

[@SkydiveHawaiiKid]

Sí, pero siempre saltaré con uno.

[@claudiovelazquez7973]

@@SkydiveHawaiiKid Si no es debería ser obligatorio. Por lo menos en alumnos, no solo salva, da confianza. Yo ni loco salto sin un AAD.!!!

[@Dionisio181]

Da muchos sustos porque no leen el manual. El otro problema es que entender la mecanica de como funcionan es un poco dificil pero leyendo con paciencia se logra entender sin problemas y nos sentiremos mucho mas seguros cuando lo hayamos entendido.

[@SkydiveHawaiiKid]

También es difícil medir su velocidad a menos que tenga un buen altímetro digital.

[@Dionisio181]

@@SkydiveHawaiiKid no se en el caso de cypres y M2 pero en el caso de vigil este te da la informacion de tu ultimo salto facilmente solo con presionar el boton 2 minutos despues del aterrizaje. Te da velocidad de caida, altura, temperatura del aire, tiempo de caida libre y otros.

[@Gladki007]

More datails? What aad?

[@theginganinjaofficial]

Funny most people would assume it was a vigil misfire

[@SkydiveHawaiiKid]

Nope, not a misfire. Just forgot I had it on and did a big turn instead of a little one.

[@truther6616]

Never had my vigils misfire

[@RanHam]

Did you recover your free bag? lol

[@SkydiveHawaiiKid]

RanHam335 yeah it was right behind me. lol fml

[@jefe_costa]

Cypres / Vigil? What happened? Wrong setup mode?

[@SkydiveHawaiiKid]

Expert Cypres 2, forgot that I had it on. Going to swap it for a speed now. . .

[@jefe_costa]

Thanks!

[@StraightP1ff]

Did it fire right as you were landing?

[@SkydiveHawaiiKid]

StraightP1ff well it probably fired at the right altitude, but I didn't feel anything come off my back until I was rolling out on my rears.

[@StraightP1ff]

Haha yeah thats weird that you didnt feel both out

[@flyingmanc5376]

What container?

[@SkydiveHawaiiKid]

FlyingManC Mirage G4

[@Dionisio181]

Whats the matter with the container? It's the aad and the user what really matter, containers are just containers

[@flybeep1661]

The fuck has container to do with this? Stupid question.

[@theprivyninja]

That sucks

[@niwotskydiver]

Really dude accidental??? I'm pretty sure the expert cypress worked exactly as advertised. Why don't you own up and admit you messed up?? It's been well documented for a long time now that high-performance wings and the degree of turns we do cause cypresses specially expert cypresses to fire. Pretty simple you knew that the gear being used didn't have the equipment to do the swooping you wanted to do. you didn't care and you are the soul cause for the cypress to fire in a very dangerous spot! you are one lucky dude glad your ok but really bro you should set a better example for the sport specially with your position in it Not trying to be a dick just feel that honesty is the best medicine in the scary situation that this is

[@SkydiveHawaiiKid]

Brian Ganousis huh? Show me where I blamed anyone or anything except myself?

@@theprivyninja Accident? You must not be active as a swooper and understand much about AADs. If you're not even a skydiver you shouldn't even have commented, this is not your place. OP is completely on point with his comment. You're not. "Most accidents are dumb and can be avoided." duh, that was the entire point. He was careless and irresponsible and he deserved to get grilled. You don't make a mistake like that and don't at least get told. Who are you calling fuckers? You come in here and act like an asshole, who do you think you are?

[@francisnitsch-jones5908]

@@MackaliMesut could also mean he accidentally forgot to switch it to the right setting or something like that. Like it did what it was meant to but he accidentally told it to do that.
