US Air Force video by Senior Airman Joshua Roberts

[@richardlangdon1096]

As a former paratrooper, jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, they are checking the surfaces for anything that can cut or entangle the static line. Thus endangering the paratroopers life. He/she has other things to worry about. Like the chute deploying by the time they count four. Making sure the chute opens correctly. Keeping an eye out so they don't get tangled up with another jumper. Letting their ruck sacks loose at the proper time. They are attached to the harness and drop about 25ft. Going through the proper parachute landing fall. The sequence is, or was, balls of the feet. The thigh. The buttocks. And back. Much to do and remember when jumping from approximately 750ft from the ground.

1250 feet at least in airborne school

[@guardianobserver6593]

What they check on the edge of the door after they opened it? If there are cutting edges?

[@murphnturph2664]

Yes. Any damage to the air frame that might cut the bungee cords. If it was cut, their chutes wouldn't open.

[@MartianV2GG]

Anything thing in the door way that the static line can get caught on or anything that can catch their harnesses and make you a tow jumper

[@RenKnight347]

I guess landing a lot would be the great selling point for an aircraft that has less than twice the range than that of the C-17 Globemaster and is twenty or so years older as well! So, the ten guys it takes to crew that flying fossil, will get to stop more often to refuel the aircraft and send postcards home while the Globemaster will be back home just in time for a hearty steak and eggs breakfast!

Noob here. Why do the paratroopers run their hand along the door edge? Awesome video of course.

[@kfelix2934]

To feel and look for any obstacles that wold hamper the paratrooper jumping or interference with the static line. Think about it ( very unlikely ), but oif the yellow static cord was cut , the main chute would not deploy, if the snap ring is broken, the main chute will not deploy, since the insert is 8 football length in height, the chance of deploying a reserve would be diasterous.

[@bake4795]

[@arunsharma-dx4yn]

At 4:30 the humvee's machine gun is firing rounds from a disintergrating belt. Presumably those links will become a major FOD hazard since it is close to an active runway/taxiway. Why not use a box/bag collector for those links fitted to the gun?
