Awesome Skydive turns bad with Malfunction and Cutaway 

That's Elsinore. The ground is actually flat as a table top, but he's downrange a bit near to the lake. It gets mucky and stuff grows in the muck. There are steep hills across the freeway, but the dropzone is wide open and flat.

falls out of sky parachute malfunction Barely makes it and you're worried about uneven ground?

@@thomasbrown4291 actually that’s mesquite Nevada

He’s landing off on a golf course

@@MrEIden231 I mean....the ground is kind of the most important part....

It was downwind

I didn't say a word at my cutaways. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VD4rMlLPyJc.html

The technology has come along way that is for sure!

When you say one handle cutaway, what do you mean? I am learning to release the main and then pull cutaway. Isn’t that “two handle”?

Definitely not a low pull, if you freeze the last alti check he’s at 4500 ft. He definitely pulled at 3k. His track should have been longer for sure. RSL’s are a preference ( highly recommended but needs to be thoroughly understood when it will help and when to disconnect it). As far as crossing the runway and taking a down winder it appeared to be a poor spot from the get go.

I can’t get over why a 5 way belly wouldn’t at least have 3 people exit linked.

Haha yes this is true!

Randy Porter Depending where you are it can get lost pretty easy. Luckily someone watched it and landed near it. It went into someone’s backyard

Matt Jaskol Thanks Matt ! I figured it could get lost and that’s a lot of money to wind up on the back of a kds bicycle lol! I just didn’t see how to keep track of it, especially in a breeze. Looks like it could wind up in a tree, across power lines, or just lost. What then ??

@@MattJaskol where is this dropezone?

Only ever had one cut away and first thing I did under reserve was follow my canopy. Couldn't catch up to it but knew where it was before touchdown.

Jeff R Yes it is!!

thank the person that trained for years how to properly pack a reserve parachute

*God*

Jack Ready If I remember correctly I was flying down wind to make it back. Wasn’t enough altitude to turn into the wind. Down wind landing in the grass is a lot better than the rough dirt that is there... Trust me.

Of course! They can get lost or damaged after I cut away but usually just fine.

@@MattJaskol amazing! thanks for answering! Possible outcome that someone catches the cutaway mid air? Or how you find them, where they landed? Drones?

@@arnassepetys6606 I'm from Germany and I had two cutaways. Both times the main was ok, but they were hanging in trees far away from the ground and so I had to call someone to climb up and bring it down. (Later I learned to climb trees and did the same for my skydiving friends). In my time as a jumper we did some walks through fields and woods for searching canopys and freebags. To catch the main midair is a real bad idea. I know one case where the jumper by the attempt to catch the canopy was entangled in the canopy and got killed thereby.

@@MisterIvyMike Hey Mike thank you for replying :)

My man :-D

So if I had a green altimaster 3 you'd hate it because it's green? lol you're lame and generic.

@@Reaperdeathpunch your logic is severely flawed

@@kvarnerinfoTV How? EVERYONE and their mother just about has a black altimeter making the black altimeters Generic. Your reasoing is very severely flawed.

@@Reaperdeathpunch you did not understand original nor my comment at all.

sometimes it is watched, but theres an app if u put in where u cut away, itll tell you based on the wind conditions where your canopy should be

Gary Vale This one was actually one of the guys on the job landed on the street next to a house where it went into the backyard

NOT

I agree. All in the same direction

Paul Hutton Neither, it wouldn’t have helped in this situation

@@MattJaskol pushing them together alleviates high line twist braj. You had high line twist.

Paul Hutton Not when you’re in a flap spin on your back with a fully elliptical canopy, brah. 😂 you can try that next time you’re below 3500 and spinning on your back. Let me know how that works out ;) Or don’t I’d prefer you didn’t die.

Paul Hutton Line twists under a high performance canopy diving to the ground is a lot different situation than your average line twist under a big square canopy flying straight. And this wasn’t just line twist, most likely something else going on like tension knots, note the one riser higher than the other. Also, I was at about just a few hundred jumps in this moment and now at over 1100 jumps the correct response would have been the same, to chop it. Please don’t ever try to pull or push your risers together in a situation like this. You check Alti and get out. ESPECIALLY in a high G spinning situation. More, Every tough guy thinks they won’t pass out but it happens. Further more the harder it starts to spin the harder is is the pull your Handle and have a clean chop.. Now, going back to AFF, IAD, etc, what do you think the correct decision is in this situation? Fly safe my friend!

@@MattJaskol Correction..... you don't check alti, you just cutaway right on the spot before experiencing what's a smoothie in a blender! :)

He waved off at 3

@@benbazy9238 I looked at it again, yes, you’re correct.

Yeah, great question this was very early on in my skydiving career and there was just a lot going on. I had JUST paid for a reserve repack (100$) it was the first day of a long weekend event. My AAD (automatic activation device.) was just about exspired but as long as I didn’t have a reserve ride I would get another 6mo out of it but if I had a reserve ride (like I did) I’d need to by a new one (1000-1500$ new) the malfunction was packed by a packer and I had to down wind land it to make it to a safe spot and landed on my ass a bit hard. So that was part of all the frustration. All though I was alive it was an expensive jump essentially caused by another person who packed for me haha

I’m not a skydiver, but I believe the reserve has a lower wing loading and is much more conservatively designed. As well, a lot of the safety margin comes from the fact that the probability of a failure is small, and the probability of two is very very small (e.g. winning the lottery once vs on two successive draws). As well, the reserve needs to be packed by a licensed rigger, whereas you can pack your main if you desire.

So there’s many variables to your question it’s just not a simple answer that’s maybe why people haven’t answered it. The main parachute is made of a material meant to last many many years it’s also meant to pack quickly so that you can realistically jump multiple times per day but has a higher likelihood of having a malfunction but it is still usually the error of who packed it. A reserve parachute Hass to be packed by a specially licensed and trained parachute rigger. It’s also made of a different type of material and as meant to open up more symmetrically and reliably but the material does not last for as many years usually. It is traditional that you want your reserve parachute to be a little bit bigger than your main parachute but that is not always the case. Hope that answers some of your question

The reserve is a spring loaded system to help with it all.

Yep only because of good friends! Haha a dude on the jump followed it and landed in a housing area a mile away to recover it!

@@MattJaskol that’s awesome, what a great guy! Bet you were happy about that. Glad you landed safely with no injuries.

That's what I was thinking..is every single sky dive awsome? I mean, it's only been done like, what, 30 million times now,its kind of the same as the other ones

@@oLMNOo It's obvious that you have never skydived

😂👍

Mesquite NV

Casey Cheshire Skydive Mesquite outside Las Vegas!

@@MattJaskol Beautiful DZ !!

Mesquite Nevada! 1hr north of Vegas

Or have a friend land next to the canopy 🤣

lol ikr. i bet he was all furious for no reason when he got back to the drop zone just to get some attention

Aviewer hello to the rest of your life I suppose.

Lol it wasn’t that much. We found the main and handles it was Just $100 for the reserve repack.

Hi! Let me answer some of your questions. Are you a jumper? 1st- This was 7yrs ago around 150 jumps (Now instructor and over 3k jumps) 2.- I didn’t pull “low” it was at intended opening although it was close to the hard deck (around 3k ft) 3. I did not open close to “others” just one other that tracked a little closer than you would like next to me. 4. I didn’t f*** around with handles, in-fact I ditched the reserve handle and only quickly secured the cutaway handle as it was dangling around. The reason for the anger was many at the time. I had just had the reserve re-packed for that weekend ($160) My AAD ($1200-1500) was going to be due to replace in 6mo OR if I had a reserve ride.. So, on the first Jump of the weekend the packer packed me a malfunction and that jump cost be $1500 so I was pissed lol. Hope that answers some questions

Everyone thinks they know when really they don’t know anything ;) This was very early on in my skydiving but there was a lot going on here. I had JUST had the reserve repacked before this jump $(100) my AAD was was almost out of service but was going to be good for that last repack for potentially the next 6mo before having to drop another 1+k on a new AAD and repack. Borrowed canopy that I’d have to replace if lost which happens often in this location. And so on... So when the packer packed me a Mal and knowing “fuck that just cost me a few K potentially, I was pissed haha

@@MattJaskol I figured! Lol!

you are brainwashed. jesus is imaginary

Yes, we call out his name every time we have to cut away. "Jesus Christ, this sucks. This better work."

@@skydiverclassc2031 Taken the Lord's name in vain isn't very funny...use your mother's name as a cuss word and see how that feels ..or better yet just repent and but your faith in Jesus like you would a parachute if you where going to jump out of a airplane...you can't just look at the Parachute you have to put it on...Put on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved....

@@friarrodneyburnap4336 I guess you don't believe in Darwinism. You take Jesus and I'll take a parachute.. see who God saves ;)
