Friday Freakout: Sketchy Parachute Opening, Skydiving Student Forgets Training

So right!! If he would have reached for the cutaway he would have got opening before he could chop. Wonder how he handled two canopies out?? That instructor should have stayed on him. He burned through a grand before he dumped the reserve. Not sure how the instructor got his rating!! Next time stay out of the parking lot! Glad the dude didn't bounce

Check with USPA on my back ground unless you still wear diapers!!!

[@KeepinYouUp07]

Play nice boys... it seemed to me like there was reserve pilot chute hesitation, very lucky the reserve didnt entangle w his main bridle. And if he did student Emer. Procedures correct, he should have used his right hand to cutaway, therefore releasing P.C....and chances are he still would have cutaway the main. This was scary AF. But IMO the instructor did the right thing. If he tried to rush in and fix the problem that low and got tangled, they both would have been dead. No pissing contest, just my opinion! Blue skies my brothers!

Jordan Tehero I have ZERO jumps under my belt but that will soon change as I'm a licensed professional pilot that is about to become Aerobatic certified as it's been a childhood dream of mine.

And that scared the shit out of ME lol

[@brandonleeps]

DutchGreen Gaming Uhhhh, not like that. People have done parachuteless jumps with some sort of rigging system to hook into with plenty of altitude. There's noway the instructor could do that.

[@KeepinYouUp07]

There's a recorded incident of a skydiver jumping without his rig on accidentally. No one else noticed it on the plane...once they all noticed in freefall, they tracked like their lives depended on it, because they did. I was told if he was able to grab a hold of someone they both would have died. I heard that story from a respected instructor. Moral, check your gears THREE times before jumping. Complacency KILLS!

If it’s bad enough, sure because this is a sport where little mistakes result in death, but at the same time if you’re going to continue supporting it despite the risk then your best bet is to help educate people instead of discouraging them from looking like an idiot or something.

Except for the forgotten throw-away, there is nothing to complain about. The jump and the reserve procedure looks good, especially for a 6th-jumps-student. Hell, he is even stable when both cutting the main and pulling the reserve. Shit, I've got 500+ jumps and I don't know if I would pull my reserve calm and stable like that.

[@coldcoffee89]

Guy is a military transition trainer hes used to having a ripchord for the main... they are used to not letting go

[@noobface777]

Why do they not let go?

[@burbt6069]

Nikola Grujicic The jumper should hang on to the handles😤 because a ripcord is made.of a metal handle, a cable and a pin that opens the parachute container when pulled by the jumper. Ripcords are reusable and expensive to replace. Plus it could have someone’s eye out if it hit them in the face when they were looking up. 👍😳😳

[@helpdeskjnp]

I transitioned from a ripcord to a throw out, and they charged me for letting go and losing the ripcord! Prolly some training issue where he trained to not drop it.

[@burbt6069]

helpdeskjnp I don’t think so? I progressed from ripcord to throwaway and didn’t need to be told to let go of the pilot-chute. But I was shown how to let go of it. Ie. let go of it behind your arm, not in front of it. You don’t want the bridle wrapped around your arm. To get to this stage of our sport, most would have seen videos of pilot-chutes being thrown away and the bag coming out of the container. If you’re sat there in free fall with a pilot-chute in your hand and don’t recognise what its job is? You haven’t been paying attention. It’s not the instructors fault.

[@helpdeskjnp]

@@burbt6069 I agree, haha, you are right... It’s almost like he’s flying there with throw-out in hand and wondering what happens next... “ok, I did this, that, and that-other-thing... now what...?”

[@zhillsx]

I could see this happening to an old school jumper. Someone who was trained to pull a main ripcord. Forgetting throw out and let go.

[@florianbohlandt571]

I can only imagine that this is the very reason. This video imo shows that students should not train on one system and then swop to another. It's actually drilled into you to hold onto he ripcord. Student reacted well in pulling the reserve but it looked like the two pilot chutes almost got entangled. That's game over

Dozens of malfunction videos and injuries that I've seen, I think this beats them all. The last option was teetering on hopelessness. How do you not notice that pilot chute flapping around in your peripheral? I held on to every one of my rip cords and shoved them into a pocket (my instructor said I could trash the rip cords if I wanted), I was so psyched when I was able to pull the big boy throw out. Coaches should emphasize new info as best they can, for they might get a little lax with bro - to - bro interaction, to not come off as insulting their bro student's intelligence. Know when to get serious, know when to help your student relax.

I don't jump so I'm trying to figure this out. He pulls his rip cord, but he holds onto it preventing the drogue chute from deploying and pulling out the main. He has a brain lock and holds onto that sucker and ends up deploying his reserve chute. Is that right? Amazing the guy didn't release the main chute too.

[@skydiverclassc2031]

He did cut away the main but it didn't come out of the container until the reserve started inflating. The video ends, but I'm assuming that the no longer connected main fell away from the jumper (also assuming he finally let go of the pilot chute).

I'm a former skydiver and now a (dropping) pilot. For example, we have in different airplanes different systems for the wheel brakes. At some planes you have hand grips on different places for the wheel brakes, in other planes you brake with the tips of your feets, and in other planes with your heels. This drives me crazy! And I guess to brake your airplane is a important thing...

[@kvarnerinfoTV]

There are still brand new systems for beginners with spring loaded PC and ripcords being sold. Its grate for beginners when there is no AFF on the DZ. Why is ti better?! Because of the bridle and rookies who jump their 11th jump without static line. They sometimes tend to lose control and stowed PC with bridle would be dangerous for them, thats why on my DZ we use spring loaded PCs and ripcords for students.

After watching these and realizing this is way more dangerous than I thought. I'm surprised the jump master doesn't have a carabineer on their harness that they can use to attach to a student who has screwed up all his shoots. I mean something like he can grab the kid and clip the student into his hardness like a emergency tandem hook up.

1. Solo gear isn't designed for two people. Quite apart from design strength and intent, there simply aren't properly designed-in attachment points for such a venture. 2. The instructor isn't trained on how to do that, even if it was a good idea (and it isn't). 3. A solo parachute, especially the kind likely to be worn by instructor, simply isn't designed to take the weight and speed of two people, and... 3a. If it survives the opening intact and without broken lines or torn fabric, and 3b. The two jumpers survive the opening shock, then... 3c. The landing speed both horizontally and vertically may well be so high as to at least injure both of them, likely seriously, if not kill them anyway. Tandem skydiving gear is big and strong and bulky for a reason! I'd dispute your "way more dangerous" statement as well - proper training, proper mental attitude, currency, and properly maintained and packed equipment and skydiving is just about as safe as it can be - but like most air / aviation sports, it is somewhat unforgiving of mistakes. ...and yes, I jumped for 20 years as instructor and tandem jumpmaster.

Which AFF step is it where you try to create a horseshoe malfunction?
