I once had a student who spun her canopy into the ground even though i flew past her twice and shouted that she should cutaway. But she didnt ! She got lucky and landed in a tree and walked away with just bruises. I sprained my ankle landing in a field close by.
Not one comment about that ridiculous exit,why was the jump master holding the pc? Even if it was meant to be a hop and pop for canopy control or something why is the pc already out and held by the jump master?
one of my instructors has 8000+ jumps and on my 6th jump with him i asked when i will no longer feel the fear when im approaching the exit of the plane. he told me the moment you stop feeling that fear is the moment you should stop skydiving.
What’s up brother Bryan here we met in Denver..Thank you for that map my man! We are in Breckenridge and head back to Florida tomorrow..Thank you!! My family had a great time in Colorado.Stay on that edge and most of all stay Healthy,Safe and Positive!
Student gets approx 45 second canopy ride, meaning reserve wasn’t open until below 750 feet. (That would have been less than five seconds of free-fall if reserve hadn't opened.) Scary!
It would if the parachute wasnt hung up so bad. Flaring the toggles is a great way to get a canopy under control. But if it can't be controlled before you reach your decision altitude. Get rid of that shiz.
@aAaa aAaa No. They are more difficult to cutaway in low drag malfunctions, like streamer or bag-lock, since the rings face your body, and your body prevents the rings from flipping thru each other.
GREGG GILLOTT Very estute observation. It would be if they were a standard set of American risers. But I think they are some weird European contraption that manufactured them that way. Although they look odd the cutaway process works the same.(I tested it out a few times lol)
What the fuck!!! RU-vid is full of parachute malfunction and cutaways. Constructors...... Put a blandy third reserve. It is obvious that two are not enough anymore!
You ever taught IAD or Static Line methods? Very standard to hang off the strut. Other than the landing gear it's the best load bearing item on the plane.
It didn't stall because of the weight, the wing stalled because the angle of attack went critical because of drag cause by the hanging body. The person hanging could have caused the airplane to enter a spin by hanging like that. Good thing the pilot was flying fast enough to overcome the drag.
Not just IAD. we hang off of struts all the time. If a human body weight on the wing affects a wing loaded for lift on a 180 even than that is one weak ass plane with structural issues.
