Friday Freakout: Skydive Student's Parachute Doesn't Open, Wrapped Around Foot!

[@z.c.6144]

[@violent_bebop9687]

Lol, he was like you a few seconds , good luck!!!

[@Darkkillaz090507]

What a instructor lol! Good luck mate cya!

[@ryanryan8]

There's nothing he could have done at that point, except get entangled with a BOS (ball of S).

[@jeffreyguerra9951]

what's the instructor supposed to do lol?? become super man and save em

[@rroussis]

The instructor would not have had the time and would have risked to get entangled which would be even riskier. In this distance and scenario the instructor can only pull and wait that the student pulls the reserve or the AAD fires the reserve at some point... You get briefed for that very clearly in AFF training for such scenarios as a student.

[@slartybarfastb3648]

I hope that student sticks with it. He's a natural! That was perfection if you forgive the awkward leg-kick deploy. Stable during the exit and freefall. He recognized the horse-shoe malfunction and didn't panic, immediately working on the problem. Unable to clear it, or unsure of the equipment's condition he went to emergency procedures. Absolutely spot-on and didn't lose awareness throughout. This video should be archived at every jump school as how to handle a very bad situation. This guy is good!

[@subacute]

Slartybarfast Are you his dad?

[@aether4505]

This was not a horseshoe. A horseshoe malfunction occurs when the main closing pin releases the main canopy bag which then trails behind while the pilot chute is still stowed. What happened here was that the bridle wrapped around his leg after he pulled his pilot.

[@slartybarfastb3648]

Aether So it's a pilot chute entanglement or, is it a pilot chute horseshoe?

[@aether4505]

This is a pilot chute entanglement. Usually when someone talks about a horseshoe malfunction (sometimes called an out of sequence deployment), they're talking about the main d-bag releasing before the pilot chute has been pulled. So the d-bag would be trailing from both the risers and the pilot bridle.

[@SkydiveVibes]

Yes this is more a pilot chute entanglement and I would say that going on his back as a student might have been dangerous since his freefall rate accelerated and at that experience you don't necessarily have full altitude awareness yet. He could gave cutaway on his belly, I think. (Of course the important is that he saved his life) What do you guys think?

[@rodanvsandrew]

I had the almost exact thing happen to me on the 9th jump. Wrapped the pilot chute bridle around my leg, had to roll over as in the video while attempting to clear it, but the pull from the pilot had the strap firmly against my leg, I tried, once, twice, and on the third try before going to the reserve got my fingers under it and pulled it free, deploying the main, too low for my comfort. The instructor met me on the ground with a "holy shit" look and said "Glad you figured that one out! I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to head home, but if I were you I'd go straight back up. What do you want to do?" I went right up on the next plane and did two more great jumps. Eventually got up to 21 and had to stop for $$ reasons, but getting over the event right away was the absolutely best move. Get back on the horse!

He was way too fast and far away, would have been dangerous trying to catch up with him at that altitude. What if the student unwraps his parachute and openes it shortly before the instructor catches up with him? Could have killed both then by the instructor getting into the open parachute. Staying away was the better option here.

I had a similar experience with the early 'throw away' pilot chutes, except I was quite an experienced jumper. Mine was wrapped around my arm and for some inexplicable reason, I couldn't get it off. The main, still mostly contained in it's deployment bag (jumping a now non-existent 'aero conical') came around to my front and was bouncing on my now upturned belly. With the pilot chute still wrapped around my arm, I dumped the reserve before the canopy started taking air and lines extended. Very messy and dangerous situation.

[@dave1m2003]

My first jump was a static line at 3500ft in Duanesburg, NY in 1992. It was a small operation out of a barn with a Cessna 206 (I think) and a grass strip barely long enough to get airborne. The guy before me was with a group of WWII paratroopers all getting in a last jump together. He got out on the strut and I heard a few cuss words and a few Jesuses and Gods. Jumpmaster eventually had to push him off. I heard he never even released the brakes and floated into a field. I never found out how he fared. I, on the other hand was the last out. I knew something was wrong almost immediately. Being my first jump, I really didn't know what. I was falling pretty fast and the risers were twisting as I saw blue, green, blue over and over. We didn't even have an altimeter (no need for a static jump at 3500). I remembered my rudimentary training and grabbed for the emergency handle. It was a one-pull system that released the main and also released the pilot for the emergency chute. It took me what seemed like an eternity to find it because it had shifted higher up from the partial parachute pulling on the harness. I arched the best I could (never having arched in the air before). The air got loud for a brief moment as I fell faster and then almost silence. First jump, landed under emergency. I was told I had a line-over. I also lost the red handle for the emergency chute and they wanted me to buy them a case of beer for that, but relented when my jumpmaster told them it was a line over and somebody had probably packed the chute wrong. I went back the next weekend to do it again. Almost 30 years ago and I can still replay it in my mind in slow motion.

[@ryanryan8]

D-burg! I made my first several jumps there at Bob's place (aka Chief). I quickly became a SL instructor and my first student chopped. I played a big role in retiring that equipment. For all we know we probably jumped the same rig. Now they've got beautiful student gear and new tandem rigs and business is good in Saratoga. Feel free to stop by sometime.

And regarding that guy who never released his brakes, he was totally fine. I heard about him and I've mentioned that story to my students.

[@forestsoceansmusic]

What did he do wrong? Was it just that his leg was in the wrong position? Was that the instructor's camera shooting the video? Shouldn't the instructor have gone into a dive to untangle the student's...drogue(?) chute? I've never done this (only a bit of hang-gliding years ago), but I'd like to know the answers to these questions before I might ever take it up.

[@qwertyytrewq4126]

He used the reserve chute which was yellow. The one caught in the foot was black.

[@paulywarly6977]

Lack of detail here but for those not in the know what we have here is a very nasty high speed horseshoe malfunction so the clock is ticking before you hit the ground at 120 mph so immediate action is required. There choices, 1.Clear the malfunction fast to open the main canopy. 2.Cut away & pull the reserve. 3.Just pull the reserve or 4 do nothing & wait or AAD to kick in at 600 feet and open the reserve automatically. Bottom line the student got away with it. Learning points. When throwing the pilot chute a good stable body position is essential to avoid this type of malfunction. Make a decision in a high speed malfunction situation and do it now. Follow your training always, this sport doesn't do complacency or bravado but it can kill you when you least expect it.

What is the instructor going to do? If he moves in to help the student he not only risks disorienting the student but also risks becoming entangled with the pilot chute as well. The only solution to the problem is for the student to cut away the mains and deploy the reserve. There is NOTHING the instructor can do to help the student. This isn't a student that has lost control and is tumbling, or forgot to deploy, this is a student who's had a malfunction.

[@trading-university.]

Not at all. he wouldnt have been able to do anything at that height anyway, if he had got close he would have probably gone into an opening canopy and killed them both. he did what he was trained, and so did the student fortunately.

Would you believe that skydiving is statistically safer than scuba diving?

[@albertbatfinder5240]

@@troyjollimore4100 I have seen the statistics, and it seems so. But I wonder... the stats are per dive or per jump. The number of jumps would be easy to collate, but I wonder how they calculate the number of dives? Also, a dive takes a lot longer than a jump. Someone should publish a statistic based on fatalities per minute of participation. Also also, on a dive you can choose to put yourself into increasing levels of danger, and many beginners probably come unstuck because of those decisions. Skydiving dials the danger up to 100% the minute you leave the plane. Skiing is dangerous, but you shouldn’t mix downhill with cross country.

[@troyjollimore4100]

@@albertbatfinder5240 A 'dive' and a 'jump' are, in essence, the same thing. The key is in your last statement. Skydiving is almost always TERMINAL. So the level of safety practiced by most skydivers, in routine, is very high. It also tends to weed out some of the people as you've seen making comments on this video, the ones not mentally strong enough to deal with a mid-air malfunction...

[@albertbatfinder5240]

Certainly skydiving has better safety stats because the participants are well trained, and that’s a great thing. Scuba is actively encouraged for unfit people on a week’s holiday to an ocean resort. The point I was making about the elapsed time is that you can compare car accidents or plane accidents by trips made or kilometres covered. Risks may be higher for scuba but you spend much longer doing it, per trip. And you are right about the weeding out aspect of skydiving. Scuba is seen as a progression from swimming to snorkelling to the full kit. So people feel, yeah, why not? There’s no partial jumping out of planes, except arguably tandem. So mental barriers to participation are completely different.

I'm just going to go on that big propleear fan, same shit

[@daniuruguay7111]

He did well

[@methujeraya]

I am never gonna sky dive. ever.

[@normdeplume9806]

If this was a test, would the student loose points for that?

[@vidarhagevi2766]

Norm dePlume He would gain some also I think. He did very good after he realised it was stuck.

[@yarpos]

it wasnt and he didnt

[@marlonsantana6266]

Who is the name of this "small black ballon"

[@SOLDOZER]

Black tar heroin?

[@erlendase3354]

0:42 And this is when he knew. He fucked up.

[@garyvale8347]

I spotted the problem right away.....it was at the 10 sec mark when he jumped out of a perfectly good airplane........

[@theginganinjaofficial]

You failed to see that the plane had a big hole they were jumping out of

[@juanjones7542]

His legs were to tuck in ! 😳

[@primoroncelli4122]

Yikes that will.never leave my mind now.

[@vinny5727]

The instructor just watched him plummet and pulled his own parachute. Lol what a dick. I know their wasn't much he could do but damn. Haha

[@SOLDOZER]

"Not much he can do". Ummm...theres NOTHING he can do.

[@japcab]

A great example why AFF should include a mandatory 10-20 minute wind tunnel prior to free fall.

[@japcab]

Bradley Beckstead, if you aren’t going to post a comment of any intelligence, best you keep your nonsense to yourself. Imbecile.

[@dennishaines5717]

Not all of us live near a tunnel or can afford the outrageous cost of tunnel time.

[@theginganinjaofficial]

4 hour drive to closest tunnel to me. 10-20mins in tunnel (probably 1-2 hours there) 4 hour drive back. Or! 1 Hour drive to local DZ 8 hours jumping and training. 1 hour drive back Just saying... the time difference alone isnt worth it

[@SOLDOZER]

This dude was solo jumping. Not a newbie. Probably Level 5+

[@bjornrockettansky3077]

Good god that was close

[@Thelegend-gt5lb]

Hey nearly hit the back of the plane

[@johnnysi6106]

great job instructor........ NOT. the student got out of that mess on he's own no thanks to you...

[@dennishaines5717]

There was nothing the coach could have done here. To attempt to Delta to the student and take care of entanglement could not have worked judging from altitude. We are trained from the beginning in emergency procedures and the student took care of it as he should have.

[@shadowgarr7649]

Kudos to the instructor for teaching EPs.

[@jasongibbs6423]

In this case, the instructor did his job quite well (on the ground), as evidenced by the performance of the student; remaining calm and promptly and correctly executing his EP's. Instructor did EXACTLY what he was supposed to do as well. Good job guys!

[@ajsphinx]

Now that makes me wonder, how much does it costs ($) to become a licensed skydiver?

[@user-jz3vc9kd2j]

Aju Jacob around 2k for A license...if you don't have to repeat jumps from sucking lol. Then if you buy new gear it can go up to 7k or so for just a rig.

[@SkydiveVibes]

Hey. I did a video about skydivong cost for the whole progression of you want to check it out. But about 2k as said earlier for AFF.

[@ajsphinx]

Oh sure I would love to check that out where's the link? Keep up the good work 💪👍

[@SkydiveVibes]

Aju Jacob thanks. Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaCnc2Z6jr-kack and you'll find way more to help your skydiver progression on my channel. ;) Let me know what you think!

[@lambyboy6467]

He was very lucky!!
