@@arctic_ita no it does not cut it away automatically. This is not a Single handle system. You can clearly see the cutaway handle in front of the camera as mainside goes to pull the reserve.
@@theginganinjaofficial You're right, I read the question upside down and i believed he was asking what about the main canopy remaining in the bag after a cut away (disconnected but inside). In this case it's dangerous because the reserve popping out may deploy the main canopy and if it's not cut away they could get entangled. However the emergency circumstances didn't gave him the time to pull the cutaway first. Sorry for the confusion.
Both instructors wearing snag hazards, reserve side let go, leaving main to go cross body and pull reserve.... yeah, good save, but what a shit show. Then again, armchair quarterbacking is easy too
@@patrickswayze2596 AFF videos are used as training aids and not required. The video is property of the instructor and they can do as they please with it. They dont have to credit the DZ or jumpers or anything.
Lawndart Productions I’m far from arm chair judging here, but if it’s an instructional video, there should be more info, or any info to be more precise about what happened, how it happened, and how it ended. The video was cut short so we don’t know how it ended apart from your very fast responding CFI managing to cut away and pull his reserve for him! I’ve been flying planes since 15, skydiving since 17, over 20 years experience with a D level licence with over 5000 BASE jumps behind me. I know this sport which is a lifestyle for me with aviation an entire lifestyle for my family and I. Something in the description would be much more helpful as a ‘training aid’, because we only see the worst of it, not how it all ended?...
This is why I’m straightening out my legs completely right before I deploy each time when I do my AFF. This sport requires a bloody checklist of things you got to be aware of.
That second instructor literally caught the canopy as it was coming out and held it from opening (so the student wouldn't break their leg). First instructor pulls the reserve. Epic stuff. Watch it in .5x speed
(N00b here). Watching this, I don't understand how this entanglement doesn't happen more often? How do you throw the thingie and never hit your bent-back feet?
@@vampiresforesl I'm still a noob, but having read into this stuff I might be able to answer this. It's all about positioning. You can see the student moves their foot a little towards their body, so that's how the pilot chute (the thingie) gets tangled. Watch it in 0.5x speed from 0:49 on. If the student kept a good position this wasn't as likely to happen. It's a mistake probably most likely to happen with new students. With your first few freefall jumps you'll always have two instructors and nowadays they almost always have a gopro on their helmet so you can see for yourself what you did well and not so well. The instructors have done a great job here.
Not necessarily. The student pretty much wrapped the bridal around his own leg by holding on the the PC and reaching back instead of just pitching it to the side.
@@galt820 Pilot chute may be trow out to the rigth avoiding the bridle to be caugth by the feet. Is the container to big for her? Arch body signals the instructor may did = ✌😛 I did my AFF early 90's Blue skies!
GREAT Instructors is an UNDERSTATEMENT! Both worked to save student's life. The rig was too big imo and also legs were not out far enough for deployment. One instructor catches the bag as the other tries to undo the pilot chute/ keep student from flying away and having leg ripped off! GREAT catch at the end to successfully pull reserve! They saved that students life! They are each owed a keg! Blue Skies!
On my first jump part of AFF, I experienced a degree of ‘sensory overload’. I was in a much worse position than I thought I was- I genuinely felt like I was holding a good position but my brain just couldn’t handle all the info coming in. Fortunately it was corrected- but I’ll never forget that initial bombardment. Its a mixture of fear and extreme fun!
shotgunmatt1 On my first AFF jump I experienced the same type of sensory overload. Time seemed to speed up more than my brain could keep up with. The instructors were giving me hand signals to arch, bend legs, etc... I did my practice touches but completely forgot about checking my altitude. Instructor pulled my chute and I thought something had gone wrong. Got on the ground and they told me we were at 5,000 feet. Felt like 10 seconds before he pulled it, not 35-40. I never forgot to check my altitude after that first jump.
Yeah me too. Messed up the exit, so me and my instructors where tossed around. It was like my whole brain just completely froze. When I came to it I was like.. Oh shit I got tasks to do! Managed to do them and pass though. But man, those initial seconds where crazy.
More of an learning video for the instructors. Looks like the motion to pitch the pilot chute freely has been limited. But a great job by the Instructors.
Wonderful job by the instructor. I saw three mistakes that the student made. Firstly, his knees were too bended. Secondly, he kept the pilot chute handle in his hand for too long, and thirdly, he should have tossed the pilot chute away toward his side than throwing it toward his back. I am new to this wonderful sport, so, please correct me if I am wrong.
First intructor after pulling students reserve shute he even gave double look above him while he himself are very close to the ground, he pull his perashute way later then two of them
Wow your guys are amazing instructor's for being able to think that fast during that deployment. 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 I gotta give that applause. timing, altitude,awareness got to be on point and that you guys did great! Im sure the student was very thankful!✌🏽🫶🏽
I used to wear army surplus paraboots, reasoning that I’d protect my ankles. Then somebody explained that I’d be better off wearing trainers that I could push off if ever I was entangled. I never wore boots again!
Hello Klara B.J, is it possible to contact you regarding this video (i.e. via email)? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible to discuss? :) Cheers, Felix
Two observations, first the container was too big for his/her body size. Second, his/her right foot was not extended like it should have been...it was almost touching their ass during the pull which allowed the entanglement.
"first the container was too big for his/her body size." that's not for you to say. You can't tell just from the vid and no the gap between his back and rig isn't indicative of container too big. Second observation is really a "captain obvious" thing, every tom, dick and harry can see that. It seems the more important observations went totally over your head.
I can't believe all these comments complimenting the instructors like they did something special. The instructors were both pulling on the bridal from separate ends which made it impossible to remove. No one pulled the cutaway handle, despite the title of the video. The instructor did pull the reserve handle, but the student still had a horseshoe malfuction with a two-out situation. I don't know what happened in the end, but it looks like these instructors and the student just got lucky that it turned out okay, no thanks to the instructors.
