Damn... that's scary. I give him credit...he tried not to panic and regain himself. Speaking of not panicking...thats crazy to me that people can control themselves that well while freefalling through the sky to steer over to him and release HIS parachute for him
He actually did panic, as on the 3rd try he tried to find the pull cord on his left side! That's exactly why the instructors don't pull before the student, good job shown here and a perfecr lesson for the student.
I've never been skydiving before, but why was his pull on his back in a really hard position to get to? Awesome save by the instructor! That guy literally owes him his life!
Thats where they are all located. He just seemed to get misaligned because your arms are basically your wings. They steer you so he kept spinning every time he reached.
It also looked to me like his harness was not as tight as most like them to be...therefore the gap between his back and his chute was just enough to make his pull just out of “normal “ reach...5 -7 secs max is about what he had left until he hit the water at 120 mph. He was damn lucky he got help when he did. Scary shit imo
@@kevinvandusen7094 his reserve parachute would have deployed otherwise. We jump with 2 parachutes, he would have been just fine.... if he knows how to swim
@@AllThingsQuick Is that standard for skydiving type parachutes? I wear a parachute pretty regularly because I fly an aerobatic airplane, but ours are basically for emergencies only, like a wing snapping off, unrecoverable flat spin with enough altitude, etc. And my pulls on both chutes I own are the old stereotypical chest D-ring. We're trained to reach in with one arm and pull straight across.
This is what instructors are there for. Just this kind of thing. This isn't that uncommon. Students will deploy at an altitude higher than is safe for instructors to give them time to deploy safely.
Happend to me too. I could not find the knot right away (first jump ever, solo, 2 instructors with me) so one of them guided my hand to the knot and i pulled it. Its a common thing, no risk.
@Blak GOLD wow, you really are stupid eh? He isn't talking about the theory of evolution... He's talking about Darwin's theory of natural selection, the joke went way over your head, damn
@@chalysama4446 Nature is beautiful wherever it maybe. You have to be an absolute moron to not appreciate it because you politically disagree with the people or government of that country. I say this because I sense some sarcasm in your comment....mate.
@@FromtherivertotheC the sarcasm is because you acted as if Iran being a hellhole has anything to do with it looking nice. Now I guess you living in your nice little world gives you time to look at the beauty of those horrible places, but I assure you, it's not same for someone on the ground. That said, I'm sure Iran is fukken beautiful,mate...
Flying way too flat. Must bend the torso a bit more to get more of a "U" shape in the body, that way you displace air in more of a "V" shape. That way you won't make like a "leaf" and move side to side on your descent. I would suggest a bunny tail on the hip rather than the bottom of your pack, as it seems reaching for your throw away a bit of a challenge at your level. Blue skies nice dives 👍
That’s totally wrong. Your supposed to face downwards, with your arms and legs locked against your body........that way you shoot down like a bullet and end up with no chance of living Cmon, wake up. Embarrassing
Wow!! That was incredible for all the wrong reasons, but well done to the instructor who waited for the last student to be safe then pulled his chute and literally saved this young person's life. Well done Chute Master!!
@@theprivyninja yes you need water landing training and canopy training. Also an AFF instructor should be in contact through the entire jump if this was his AFF1-7
Thats how you do it, make sure there o.k then sort yourself, 'good person' showing how to do a job right when it could have gone wrong quick time. 10/10 for the instructor, and a beer on the the ground.
They should make those pull strings easier to get to for that reason it look like he couldn't reach it,,, thank goodness for that instructor, he needs a raise
that instructor better be invited to this students wedding and his children's wedding and his grandchildrens wedding and their wedding and so on he owes that man big time is what I mean 😲 WOW
Another example why students should NOT jump "Experienced" gear groping for a BOC. Student gear should have a 'throw out' or a 'pull out' handle on the lateral. Just because the canopies are larger doesn't mean the rig is a "student" rig.
@r_ elentless01 mmm interesting, seems like that is a design flaw, specially for someone that is learning. The moment he reached for it he immediately went into a spin, making it even harder to grab.
It's a modern deployment system. If a handle is chest-mounted, then it has to pull a ripcord that runs through a channel to extract a pin that holds the container closed. With that kind of deployment system you then, inside the container, need a spring-loaded pilot chute that will clear the 'burble' - the turbulent air that develops above the body in freefall. Although it takes more practice to get used to, the deployment system shown in this video is actually simpler and more reliable. You are physically pulling out the pilot chute and releasing it into clean air off to the side of you where it will instantly inflate. No ripcord, no spring, no burble. The reason it's situated behind you is that if you mounted it on the front of the harness it could wrap around your body.
@@MrReasonabubble thank you for explaining that. Still i think it could use some improvement. Maybe put the pull cord on the side for easier access cause clearly if this guy were alone or with a more inexperience trainer, he would have died.
