How are you a licensed Sky Diver and not know your emergency procedures for line twists??? You pull the risers apart and bicycle kick, not whatever the fuck that was.
Nice job on that instructor giving it a little help. That student eas in good hands, when i started jumping it was 5 static line jumps with a DRCP. After that the freefall was just me and no instructor. I didn't even have an altimeter, i was told to count seconds off then deploy. That being said, i had a freekin blast. Skydiving is is pure freedom. And very safe statistically speaking. I made 166 jumps, which isnt alot, but i would love to do it again. Unfortunately im too heavy atm😢
That was what I saw. At @1:23 he went to do the right thing pulling the risers APART, but for some reason @1:25 right up to his middle finger at @1:38 he started to tighten the twist UP ? ? ? At first I thought he had done it deliberately to get some "body purchase" from which to kick the twists out. That seemed to "work" after @1:57. But it seemed a strange waste of 30seconds ? When it once happened to me, IMMEDIATE pulling apart the risers stopped the twisting, then holding them apart and "bicycling kicks" untwisted them as fast as they had twisted ? ? Made me realise how important a stable body position is at deployment ?
this will make sense to a very few people, if your stable BUT UPSIDE DOWN..when you deploy your chute it appears like the chute is opening straight down between your legs..No B.S.😢think about it.🎉.
So, yeah, I did it the old fashioned way. Quite a few static line jumps on round canopies. Dummy pulls 3 in a row for an instructor. Then a first free fall on a 3 count. (One thousand Look thousand In thousand Pull) ...then 5 second delay....10 second delay etc. by the time you are doing 30 second delays from 8500 you KNOW how to fall stable and pull stable with a drilled wave-off. And Christ help you if you were a student and pulled below 3500. Do it twice and get grounded for a month. I watch a few skydive vids on here and so often I see people dump in a track no wave off no looking where the hell is the other guy. But I WILL say I see people doing things in free-fall that was Unknown in the 80s and 90s. 🙂
I hate how the next video screens pop up in the middle of the parachute deployment. Maybe add some dead screen time to the end of the video. I guess it doesn't matter due to being 3 years old at this point.
I got 206 jumps but the last one was 25 years ago, haha! I just couldn't progress with the relative work and finally hung it up. So, some experience, but not compared to the AFF instructors who've got thousands of jumps! So, I comment/ask with all humility & respect. At 1:19 the student attempts to deploy, becomes unstable and ultimately flips over onto his back at 1:24. As I recall, students generally deploy at 5,500 ft and fall approximately 1000 ft every 6 seconds. So maybe the instructor can allow 12 seconds for the student to recover and deploy before he moves in and pulls the students rip cord? You know, give the student a chance to prove he can save his own life. At 1:33 in the video, it appears the student has his hand on his rip cord and within the same second the instructor deployed his chute. At this juncture the student is well below the instructor. Looks like the student totally got away from him. It appears the instructor deployed before the student but hard to tell as links to other video's pop-up & overlay the main video thereby blocking the view. That "arghh" the instructors makes under canopy suggests to me that he himself was scared. That he almost lost a student! Anyway, should've the instructor docked on him the moment he flipped over and assisted him in regaining stability.
i lost sight of him after instructor's chute-pull, thanks to the onscreen banners of similar video suggjjestions - thought he was a gonner for a while!
