Friday Freakout: Skydivers FORGET To Pull Parachute, Saved By AAD! Altitude Awareness Fail! 

I checked it 5 times. I don't understand what happened.

OOOO YEAAA REDLINED NOT EVEN 10 STORIES HIGH AND YET THEYRE ALIVE ABIT OF HIP AND THY BROOSING BUT NEITHERLESS TO SAY FUCKING LOW

You think he didn't know how close he was? Dude was saving that guy's life

@@Solar_Daddy who's life was he saving? both of them forgot to pull their parachutes!

Well that’s your opinion.

Can you explain what happened here please ... Did this dumb fuck really forget to deploy?

@@Solar_Daddy nah I dont think so. He did not attempt to pull the other guys parachute and furthermore he did not seem to be prepared for his own AAD pull Checking his altimeter 5 times on the ground was an indication for how shocked he is

I think you have more sense than that skydiver. We all know the automatic altitude device should open the reserve parachute when we are knocked out or in trouble but nobody thinks to put it to the test. He's alive but now he has to pay money to get his reserve parachute repacked,go to hospital and get the "ON BRAIN" switch turned on, face the Drop Zone Safety Officer,fill out a report for the Parachute Association,get grounded after a grilling by Chief Instructor and DZSO and maybe go through student training again to emphasise checking the altimeter on his wrist and eyeballing the ground and note to self "do not fall asleep in sky in freefall because the alarm clock hurts (the ground)" and pull the pilotchute out and deploy parachute. He would have a lot to deal with after that jump. Your sentiments are correct. Eddy old skydiver Lower Light South Australia 21/4/2024 17:50 hrs Adelaide standard time.

SO TRUE

It has a lot of comments from "experts" that very clearly know nothing about skydiving or parachuting equipment.

I am taking your advice and reading comments. I can't believe someone forgets to check altitude, wave off and forget about deploying the pilot chute. I saw him look at his alti about 4 times after the crap landing and thought it's a bit late now mate should have done that and not fall asleep in the sky. Lucky for technology.

@@SMD-si7fm lmfao if that was the case the guy recording would have pulled the others chute cus they were so low (not as hard as it seems) and i doubt he'd refuse to pull his own shoot to die with him Seems they're just both idiots

As a skydiver myself, the cameraman/instructor tried to reach his student from the beginning. The cameraman finally reached out and stabilized him right in time for a perfect life-saving opening. Cameraman was very aware of altitude. Sad fact: cameraman later died in a motorcycle crash

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Imagine the parachute doesn’t work.

ssonline imagine jumping with a parachute that doesn’t work

1.Put on a parachute 2.Jump 3.Pull

you missed the last 2 lol

Possibly four to five times and we don't know where his eyeballs are anyway only when he turns his wrist, so it could be more and probably thinking would have been better if I died because DZSO & Chief Instructor, plus report going to Parachute Association and getting grounded and obvious retraining and maybe tests for the brain as something didn't work.

fuck you

Such an obvious joke but I still laughed

You forgetting your keys is alot worse than this, I think we need to get you treatment

They both did not open themselves The auto die

crying😅😅😅

Yeah how do you jump out of a plane and forget that you need to pull your parachute.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lool, U got the point.

Lol

Lmao

🤣😂 best comment award 2020

I‘m late but this comment😭😭😭😭

tbh that looked like 500

And buy an audible. Or two preferably; I had mine running out of batteries on a jump the other day

I’m looking at starting and this is my biggest fear. That and the shoot getting tangled

@@bufsabres2007 Because it’s your biggest fear, now it is less likely to happen. I have my license now. 42 jumps. I use a Viplo altimeter now. Eventually, I will buy my own helmet with an internal audible altimeter as well. This way, when you get to deploy altitude, it beeps in your ear. So there are many tools to help ensure you remember your altitude.

Got any good books you'd recommend for your Audible?

@@washbrook yes. “50 terrible skydiving jokes for you and your friends.” :)

Which legend? That’s a falace. Most of skydivers doesn’t even check their Alti. Their rely on their audible. That’s the real talk about altimeters. You just check it when you have to break off or when you are flying your cannopy. It would be great to mantain that altitude awareness but with time, people including myself are stupid and you just stop looking at it. Check the big ways videos. Are those guys checking their altis during a hd? I know we must check. But we don’t. Stupidity? Maybe. But you are talking to skydivers, dude. I’m a skydiver and I know the kind of guys I share my loads

@@Thiskittenisfrisky it's a joke LMAO

This guy had repetitive action dysphoria. Or at least that's what it looks like. When your in shock sometimes your brain cant figure out what to do. The guy was probably thinking "oh my god oh my god why didn't I check my altimeter" so he just kept looking at it over and over for no logical reason.

@@colinmackay92 it’s logical. being saved by the AAD firing means that the jump went seriously wrong. He was in shock like you said, but it was logical

@@davidwang5770 maybe I shouldn't have used the word Logical. I just mean that there was no real reason to look at his altimeter that many times when there was nothing to look at. That's why I assumed he had repetitive action dysphoria.

Hahaha best comment I have ever seen :)

Technically they did!

My question would be "How SOON after jumping can I pull the chute?"

@@MakerInMotion There is a saying on when to open the Parachute. When people look like ants.......open your chute. But when ants look like people , don't bother.

You would be surprised at how much you experience when you jump/fall out of a plane. I'll never forget my jump with a tandem instructor. At no point did I think' hurry up and pull the cord'. Perception and speed kinda messes up the risk evaluation process in your head! Hopefully I'll be able to go again soon.

@@Falconhunter276 Its a rush , once the adrenaline kicks in!

@@Falconhunter276 Agreed-on my jump we got out at 18k. While there’s definitely a sensory overload-I could still tell how close we were getting to the ground by the disappearing of the sky on the horizon in my peripheral. How these guys didn’t realize is beyond me

I know. I now have about 7 solo jumps 17 total. I just pulled 4 grand for the first time yesterday. I always pull at 5 still.

Yeah I'm the same I have 20 jumps this video freaks me out if I pull later than 5k I'm it worries me lol lucky boys you don't get meny second chances up there mental

abadi alsharif 5000ft is a good altitude for correcting any mistakes made... getting rid of twisted lines or a cutaway at 1000ft and lower would be scary as hell :s

Lol, I jump static line at between 800-1200 feet

What would you estimate that he deployed at?

underrated comment

You got me lmao crying bruh!

He literally went to stabilize his body before the ADD opened his parachute. He was looking out for his safety…..

Omfg 😂

Lmao this comment wins 😂😂

It was the big dumb look and half grin that got me.

😂😂😂

Sometimes it doesnt xD

This is the best comment.

hahaha

😂

EXACTLY, vanity kills.

Doesn’t USPA recommend 200 jumps before flying a camera? Dude clearly doesn’t have 200 jumps judging by his shitty exit

Well, I have flewn many times with an energency chute, and I can tell you one thing. Look down and open that chute in time. It looked like he got a fixation for that altimeter. Whatever it was, there is something seriously wrong with this person. How did somebody like that get into skydiving? If he were normal before, he should really go to a doctor. He could have early signs of dementia. Or he has another neurological problem. This is not a joke, this video is worrying enough. Let him find out what is going on, before he gets killed. Lower awareness and fixation can kill you in many situations. Skydiving, driving a car, crossing the road, you name it. So if you know him, please tell him to find medical help. Before it is too late.

@@GayCatDad You are absolutely right. I live near EHTE with an excelent skydiving school. And the guys doing their 10th jump there, are safer than this moron. Even I can see the beginners are beginners. Their landings are not always perfect. They are not precision landers too. But in general they are okay. And I never heard of stupid mistakes like this video. Why did his chute not open automatically at a safe altitude? Those systems exist for good reasons. He just proved that. He needs a serious debriefing with a skydiving instructor. The goal is not just call him a moron. He might even have a medical condition explaining a lot. A good skydiving instructor can help him get his skills to a safe level. Or he can convince him to sell his chute, if he won't listen. Can't the FAA or that skydiving organization withdraw his license? This video proves he can not jump!

@@c7042 Everybody who rides a car, climbs into the back seat and does a nap on the interstate. The cruise control is on, and usually the car will stay on the tarmac, if you pray. And those small trees, well, you'll survive. That's normal, is it? You fool, never believe suicidal jumpmasters. It only hurts for a split second, it is not that bad. Here's a spade, dig yourself a nice, deep grave first, and aim for that. We call it body painting, for you'll paint everything red, unless you hit the bull's eye, of course. Like a fly on the windshield of your car. Splash! Good luck, you amateur, give it a go. It'll be a great AH experience.

ha ha ha. ...

+Mazel Schröder by having too much fun.....it happens.

+Mazel Schröder and look at this face...stupid smile... fuck! OPEN THE PARACHUTE!

I was thinking the same thing. I am a past skydiver, by the way.

Bullshit, if you were a "past skydiver" you'd know that altitude awareness is a HUGE problem and people die every year from no pulls. You may have jumped from a plane on a tandem dive, but you were definitely never a "skydiver" if you can't figure out how someone would forget to pull. It happens.....a lot.

Very valid comment

I have ADHD and I’ve never forgotten to deploy my parachute.

I have ADHD. The closest I got to forgetting to deploy was my first AFF jump and second jump ever (I did a tandem before I did AFFs) It got to 6000ft where we were supposed to deploy. I saw my alti say 6000ft and in my head I said to myself "Okay, 6000ft, I need to deploy now" and by the time I said that in my head, the altimeter said 5000ft and my instructor was waving his finger in my face telling me to deploy now or he'll deploy for me. Of course I deployed and passed my first jump. That was the start of the end. Now I'm living in a small rented apartment with a rubbish car buying cheap food and doing everything I can to avoid spending one more penny. At this point whenever I see a price tag, I convert it into how many jumps that could've been. Fuuun times.

Well, actually some skydivers were caught by a military plane in mid air. Hoisted in and cargo door closed. But also they got down in the end.

Laika the space doggo never came down. RIP.

Anthony Leal What if it doesn't?

mrcatfish2100 hmmmm, what do you think happens if you don’t open a parachute while headed towards a planet at 120+ mph? I hope this guy answers your question so we can solve this mystery.

I would've bee scared....

Some guys don't turn theirs on

So from watching this video and reading your comment I would guess AAD is some type of self deploying mechanism once a certain altitude is reached because I never saw him pull the chute. I was really entertained at the fact that he was smiling to his death😂

lol apparently he loved being an idiot

lmao, these dudes are not professional skydivers. These guys probably have less than 50 jumps.

Must have at least 200 jumps if they were jumping with cameras.

No, they SHOULD have 200 jumps for a camera lol but these guys do not have 200, no way in hell haha

Just judging by their skill level, I'd say Jabrel is about right at 50

USPA is 100 jumps for camera They were EXTREMELY negligent No doubt But it can happen Very focused on the task at hand Lost perception of short periods of time As for the ground They werent looking and are not experienced enough for changes in light

My friend did that and I asked him that question. He said he was going to turn, track, and pull when the other guy did. The other guy was thinking the same thing. Mexican standoff and NOBODY pulled. SMH.

Distraction is a seriously dangerous deal. Worst: expectation bias will kill you. He was waiting for the other guy to go and distracted by waiting for it. There you go. Holy smokes. 😳

They were sitflying and it can be tough to see your altimeter while sitflying and remain stable. Could be that. It was lost prairie, AAD fires happen there way too often, for reasons I know but are hard to explain. Could have been one of those reasons. What he said makes sense too, even though it is not a good excuse. He felt pretty embarassed about it, I know that.

I am a skydiver, and what I can tell you that either this was on purpose and they decided to bet their lives on the Cypress (AAD) or maybe their dropzone doesn't do a good job in checking the Diver's experience, by regulation from the USPA you cannot jump with a camera until you have your C license and a minimum of 200 jumps.

You're absolutely right! I am a skydiver, almost 3k jumps and I have never seen 2 people who do not look even at the moment they're screaming through 700ft and their AAD is firing. This was a total lack of a brain at the very best. I hope everyday they wake up for the rest of their likely very short lives, and thank God for a second chance! Idiots. I would have kicked them off my drop zone at least for a year if not indefinitely.

But #NoHomo. Maybe they said after...

The second guy is the instructor who's looking out for the guy, and not wanting him to die

@@saycheese2162 that's just your assumption. It's nowhere said that one of them is an instructor, and it looks to me as if like a good instructor would have reacted differently. He did nothing to help, and was saved by the same system as the other guy

That's what makes it so funny to me. How do, not one, but two people forget the one and only most important step on which their lives literally depend ? How ?? It's so incredibly idiotic that it's hilarious

+minerdrc Sadly, it wasn't intentional :(

Well, I cannot imagine that BEING intentional :)) also love how he repeatedly checks his alti in disbelief after landing :)) couldn't find a better spot for a crush landing too! :)

+minerdrc Def not intetional.

if it were intentional do you think they would have been docked face to face for deployment...

OMG, I cannot imagine that being not intentional? HOW THE FUCK did he not realize was getting dangerously closer to the ground ....

Or each other's eyes.

Hmmm, a tandem jump is much cosier.

You are messed up

@@dailysandwich4838 And you call yourself Daily Sandwich?!

Ok that's fucked up

Very lucky. Indeed the description said their free bags were found together, tangled. Oy.

Was thinking the same thing. Was almost miraculous they didn't.

Or, kicked in the face

Given their skill level we can guess they've done what ? 30 jumps ? Still doing a 3-way wearing GoPros. Not sure the DZO is safety oriented...

No doubt about it. My DZ would ban these guys from ever jumping again. This literally made me angry to watch. I would never exit any aircraft with either of these idiots!

It just stops Darwin's natural selection theory..

i would never do a lowpull contest for money with them

And I thought my landings were bad

Probably still in disbelief that the chute deployed. And probably frozen when he realized how low he had become. I dunno how accurate an AAD is: but thank goodness it was calibrated well. 😳

Don't worry, it's just about maturity. If you're older you can upload it no problem ;-)

We love you Steve!!

Greatest human ever, the best skydiver the sky will ever have. My friend, I have also the honor to call him my friend too. He was pure love and fun, the best person in the sky by far. I love you forever, tesoro, you will always live in me.

What the propose of looking 5 times the altimeter when you are already in the ground?! 😂

Nice words mate. His memory will live on through you and all his mates

What did he do - forget to hit the brakes ?
