[@jandriperez1139]

Happened the same to me, the last hug showed how strong is ur friendship

[@nixworld767]

Oh man. This brings back memories. In 1980, I was 20 years old jumping one of the early squares (called a "Strato Flyer"), at a drop zone in Cushing, Oklahoma. The 3 ring circus cutaway system was pretty new and out of my price range. So, I was jumping an antiquated cutaway system called "R2 Capewells". They were considered one step above the old fashioned 2-stage metal cutaway capewells on most military surplus chutes. It was my 100th jump exactly. I opened normally at about 2500' after a 4-way RW jump. At 500', i was cranking it hard in a turn with the toggle buried. Apparently, all that centrifugal force put enough pressure on my shitty cutaway system that the right riser suddenly and completely released! I immediately went into a crazy spin and could see that my 5-cell main had completely collapsed 2 cells, with the 3rd flapping open and shut. Basically 2 cells open. I later learned that it was the slider that somehow how kept those remaining two cells from collapsing. I knew that to cutaway in a rapid spin at less than 500 feet would probably be fatal, and because of the rapid twisting of the main, i was afraid that dumping the reserve would only choke off what little canopy I had, resulting maybe in a full-on streamer. So, my only option was to consider myself along for the ride. I held onto the remaining riser with both hands (I was terrified that whatever caused the first side to release would repeat itself on the remaining riser), and spun exactly like the gentleman in the video. The spinning was so intense that i watched my feet tracking across the horizon and began to get really dizzy. And just like our friend in this video, out of all that flat, open, Oklahoma farmland, my terror intensified as i realized i would impact onto the concrete taxiway! That's exactly what happened. And just like the man in this video......after what was a very ugly crash landing, i remember groaning, finding myself on my right side (after impacting on my left side and then momentum rolling me over), saying "I'M ALIVE" to the first friend who ran up on the scene. Conclusion: Hairline fracture of the pelvis. Compound fracture of the left elbow. Broken left foot. I recovered and made about 50 more jumps before hanging it up for good and starting my career as a military pilot. Anyway, I have watched many youtube videos on skydiving accidents and close-calls, but none has brought me back to that day, 40 years ago, like this video. Glad you're ok man.

[@P.HOANGrides]

haha I'M ALIVE. Like you, it was hard to believe at the time that I had in fact survived the impact.

This brought back memories. In 1980, on precisely my 100th jump, I had a riser release (this was pre 3-ring circus) inadvertently at 400 feet. Too low to cutaway, and couldn't deploy the (round) reserve into the spinning 2 cells somehow being held open by the slider. So, I spun it in just like the gentleman in this video, and like him, I squarely landed onto the concrete taxiway. I compound fractured my elbow, broke my pelvis, my leg, my foot. In those days, many of us wore hard motorcycle helmets. My head bounced, crushed the helmet, and that helmet saved my life. When I saw this guy with no helmet, I could only think how lucky he was to not have crushed his skull. Really happy to see the outcome. Best wishes man.

[@jedr.3494]

Once adrenaline hits you man, there is not a second where your mind thinks about anything but your potential options of survival. You'll get it done in anyway possible way when adrenaline is pumped out into the brain or you'll die trying most likely. It's truly an amazing thing. We have an extremely potent chemical that is able to be released in micro seconds by the subconscious brain at any given moment with absolutely zero delay. If your sober of course.

[@SymbolicLogic24]

@@jedr.3494 Yes but people react differently in situations like this, some people freeze up and are simply worthless. I watched a video of a girl who had the same issues this guy did, got tangled up on the way down, both the main and reserve. She cut her reserve when she was ~50 feet above ground and died. Adrenaline can be a great thing but if a person allows panic to creep in and dictate, adrenaline won't do much good.
