Guy's First D-Day Jump | Guy Martin Proper 

Yeah it was funny when Guy landed outside, but then the roof, tree, and fuel pumps shots killed me

@@MyHunter9090 haha me too

so true 😂🤣

@Brett Mitchell While you are thinking about it, head for trees. At least, that's what I was taught.

they probably fell down like a floating steerless potato following orders aimlessly

Gary Johnson not many can say that!

I did this from a little Cesna and it was about an hour after meeting the instructor. 3 weeks you say... 3 of us did it on a Saturday. The scariest part was climbing over the fat instructor to get outside and stand on the landing strut. You can't be tugging on any of the frail little plane's bits.

That's not how you count at airborne school! 29-19

In 1941 they didn't get that training.

Haha.. And when I do it, just swear words come out

That's because when you do it you're naked...and in a grocery store.

Spotting by Braille . . .

Actually the hole is for stability. The air wants to get out somehow and without the hole that would mean the only escape is over the sides. At its worst it can cause the parachute to fold but it can also just be harder to control and swing around wildly so the hole allows for some escape through the top which just stabilizes it. I don't think there is/was too much concern about keeping soldiers in the air. Obviously you want them on the ground but the US T-10 parachute was designed intentionally to drop slower...well and to snap less...and not fail as often as the T-7.

@@AveragePicker Ah right ok, makes sense. I've seen the Band of Brothers episode when a lot of the Airborne got stuck in trees and so on, proper pain in the ass and at night it was even worse.

Of course not!

He might be a novice but he had all the propper training and he is in france whats the uk gunna do?

@@valleybandit3390 Really , don't think you get my " DRIFT " !

Those style 'chutes are similar to the ones that paratroopers have been using for about 50 years or so mate. Only in the last eight or nine years are they different. First on I jumped, the t-10D had ZERO toggles or "control." Pull a good slip opposite the wind, eyes on the horizon, dont reach for the ground because you'll break your legs, land like a sack of bricks. AIRBORNE!

Death fears the bad publicity he'll get if he takes Guy Martin before we're ready lol

no its one thousand to thousand three thousand four th........ OHHHH SHIT.... from another old meat bomb.

dinkles, given the number of broken bones and metal in his body, I'm not surprised. I'm amazed that he attempted parachuting at all with his metal supported spine. He's one very brave fella to learn to jump as a novice and to be filmed for a special programme.

happened to me once on RU-vid as well. No fix, one day it just worked again.

It's about the time intervals. Kind of like 1 Mississipi, 2 Mississipi

Yuck Foutube ye mar is dead ye little divvy

And again 3 years later lol

To add to that, 2 WORDs you hear only during begining training all the time foe everything, STANDBY GO!

School

Grimsby actually, I'll admit it's a pretty pointless distinction cause they're more or less the same bloody town these days. Cleggy = Arcades and seaside tat Grimsby = The stabby bit you avoid

Ystadcop he's from Kirmington, Lincolnshire, about 15 miles inland from Grimsby out in the country. Beautiful area. I bet he wouldn't like all the fuss becoming knighted but he certainly deserves it.

@@pat4brown Patricia, thank-you, I stand corrected. I don't know where I got the Cleethorpes thing from. Yes, it is a lovely area, I know rural Lincolnshire quite well.
