Skydiving Near Miss

Skydiver has a premature deployment whilst preparing to jump from helicopter.
The jumpers closing pin got dislodged shortly before climbing out; the deployment bag left first, shortly followed by the pilot chute. All the jumpers carried hook knives but the decision was made not to use them due to the possibility of releasing pieces of line or canopy into the tail of the helicopter.

This is scarier than 99% of the low opening videos I've ever seen. Well done for everyone on keeping their heads in a scary, totally unpredictable and certainly unexpected situation. Breathing again now.

@marcosatx3178 10 лет назад

As a heli pilot and jumper all I can say is great job reeling it back in! A heli went down locally because the gas cap was not tightened and flew into the tail rotor. That canopy was about 2 seconds from causing a serious, probably fatal accident.

@tomm198 11 лет назад

Cutting away the stuck canvas could have had significant negative results for the tail rotor. As a helo pilot I really appreciate that they didn't cut the tangled portion away. Coutld have been disastrous. Great idea to get the dude off the skid! That was key in my opinion. Who knew if that chute was going to inflate and tear him through the skids and spit him out into the tail? Nice work everyone keeping their heads, dramatic of course and scary, but I think you did a great job. FWIW

@scottdoesit 11 лет назад

After reading some of these comments I thought I should let everyone know that we landed safely in the helicopter and the guy who chopped his main landed fine. In my opinion 'Dobby' who's pin came out did the right thing by cutting and jumping, the helicopter was very cramped and there wouldn't have been room for him to get back in and for us to deal with the situation. Reserves are there for a reason.

@jimday666 8 лет назад

This was horrifying.

@XxBIoodshotxX 11 лет назад

Great job everyone on that load for reacting smart and quickly in that situation! I jumped my 1st four Heli jumps yesterday and had everyone check their gear before we all got on and before we left because I didn't want THAT while I was @ five grand! good job everyone!

@livesinsundays 10 лет назад

I think the jujmper (given his low number of jumps) and the rest of the team in the heli did a great job, given the circumstances.

@KrisRamJ 11 лет назад

Personally I'd have slowed down to help them reel it in, around 50kts or so. You wouldn't want to hover because if it went into the tail rotor you'd totally lose control. At least if you're flying forwards you have some weathervaning. I'd also get some right pedal in so if it detached it would move away from the tail rotor.

@Wurstlsepp 11 лет назад

The guy who was filming is a hero!

@JoelZWilliams1 11 лет назад

at 2:58 I totally thought that chute was going to get fouled into the tail-rotor. Then it would have been lights out for everybody! Very dramatic footage. I was spellbound.

@sansmerci 11 лет назад

Great work, man! Balls o'Steel!

@Gladki007 11 лет назад

Holly shit, thank god that I did my first Heli jump few days ago before seeing this :/ I was nervous about that happening enough already! Good job on staying calm and saving yourself and your friends!

@LibertyParachute 11 лет назад

RESPECT to the cool head & fast hands guy on the skid! Nice save brother!!!

@MrLongbow1415 11 лет назад

Are you a Skydiver? Its at 5k, a problem the pilot is not 100% sure of, he's had no request to land from the Skydivers. You can tell by the rotor noise he has started a slow descent. The pilot and the Skydivers did a great job.

@mcjasper 11 лет назад

Props to Skymong for keeping your cool. Pilot should have been losing altitude unless he was going to take one for the team.

@jwharehinga 11 лет назад

At the end I was thinking to myself "CLOSE THE DOORS!! CLOSE THE FUCKEN DOORS!! Are there doors? WHERE ARE THE FUCKEN DOORS???!!!"

@Blingnuttz 11 лет назад

Good work y'all. Great job containing it and reducing the danger.

@UTubeGlennAR 11 лет назад

Two Part Comment: a. The jumper that had the camera mounted to his head needs a BIG "at a boy dude" for saving the day/lives of all by his quick thinking and cool actions........ b. Possibly just one more example of how Go Pro is drastically improving what we capture and see on screen.

@thetkingsley 11 лет назад

To enter autorotation for zero airspeed the pilot has to push the nose of the helicopter down to gain airspeed... a very dicey proposition when you don't have back doors on and people back there without seatbelts on. You're right on when you say we're more comfortable with forward airspeed no matter the altitude.

@spacedonkey2008 11 лет назад

There is a specific release system Bela, 2 handles on the front of the harness, one releases the main from the container, the second pulls the pin on the reserve, there are other versions of the same theme with pros and cons but the thought process is down the same route, I had to get rid of my main yesterday because one of my steering toggles got locked off, reserve worked a treat and I was back up again after a reserve repack :)

@Avatar013 7 лет назад

nope. nope.nope.nope.no.noway.nope.

@feeblemind27 11 лет назад

That could have ended so badly, dude you have a huge set of balls!!

@thetkingsley 11 лет назад

Helo pilots don't like to hang out at zero forward airspeed because it falls within what we call the 'deadman curve' which as you might imagine can be a dangerous place to be. At zero forward airspeed if there was an equipment failure (such as bits of parachute caught in the tail rotor) the recovery is much more difficult.

@Joe_Mann 11 лет назад

The kit was fully checked before jumping, it was however hire kit which has since been retired

@spags1724 11 лет назад

Great job camera man!! If not for his quick reaction and thinking, that would have been a disaster. It looks as if the container opened first. At 0:08 you can see his deployment bag(D-bag) is out before the pilot chute at 0:09.

@Aetrion 11 лет назад

No, they carry a backup chute, he had to cut the primary because it was tangled up.

@JaedoVicious 11 лет назад

I dont know much about parachuting but my knowledge on general physics ect would suggest that if that parachute had of opened while attached to the helicopter it could have been bad news for everyone, and the guy that jumped would have just used his spare - I would say detaching that parachute and jumping was the best course of action

@Costas2305F 11 лет назад

1. Helmet shield open!! ''WRONG'' 2. Chest strap loose!! ''WRONG'' and maybe the pilot chute not inserted properly that's why...... You're very lucky guy

@wellsyman 11 лет назад

Ya fair enough, I didn't consider people being tossed around back there without seatbelts on etc. I agree with KrisRamJ about slowing down but still keeping a bit of speed and some pedal. Question answered. Cheers!

@shediCOREY 11 лет назад

just so everyone is clear in this instance "D-bag" means deployment bag not douche bag. The dude was told to jump I highly doubt any of this was intentional.

@ethanr432 11 лет назад

no actually.. at that altitude the possibility for a cord or chute getting tangled into the tail rotor was high.

@peterhun1024 11 лет назад

We do have hock knives, just don`t want to damage expansive Equipment if not Necessary.

@crackout69 11 лет назад

They do, all qualified jumpers have at least one knife. But if what they were doing was working better not to risk cutting away at parts and risk them flying into any of the rotor blades or the tail of the helicopter.

@adamuk73 11 лет назад

They do but cutting away a canopy to wrap itself around the tail rotor would have brought the helicopter down for sure. They did the right thing IMHO.

@jimgraham7633 11 лет назад

Good on the guy that pulled it all back in. That said, It worked out okay, this time, but it would have really sucked to have your hands sheared off by the lines, grabbing them, without gloves and a hook knife to the bridle would have allowed the canopy to be pulled in a lot faster. had the canopy inflated, this would have ended very badly for the helicopter and pilot.

@darlixlord 11 лет назад

I'm amazed the helicopter was able to stay in the air, supporting the weight of this guy's balls!

@SirJustonian 11 лет назад

That guy owes A LOT of beer

@scifactorial5802 11 лет назад

As soon as you pull the reserve the main disconnects. This is so your reserve and main don't get tangled

@skydivertricky 11 лет назад

Not really. thousands of jumps are done from choppers every year without a problem! this was the jumper's fault for not getting his kit checked prior to exit.

@HoverTime 11 лет назад

Awesome job getting things under control.

@robnowicki6251 10 лет назад

Paul, That's one way to END a skydive!

@gededrengen1234 11 лет назад

he had a spare parachute, as everyone do in case of emergencies

@ajnode 11 лет назад

Except when you jump out of the car, you have a device attached to you that will cushion you against the fast-approaching hit-able object.

@AndiChewning 11 лет назад

Probably a really good thing they didn't just hook knife it off... if the D-bag/canopy/anything else had gotten caught up in the rear propeller of the helicopter it would have meant death for most of them... But again a good reminder to do gear checks (PLURAL) before EVERY jump...

@MrLongbow1415 11 лет назад

We do carry knives in the UK. I have two on me at all times. Guys, great drills, yes it shouldn't have happened but it did and you acted on instinct to not let it get worse. And yes I agree, the fella who chopped did the right thing in getting clear of the situation, ....5k reserve ride ...did you find his freebag?

@mcjasper 11 лет назад

Guy who had the premature.. had a knive!

@IronMountainBrewery 11 лет назад

Beer!!!!! For the Tangled mess of canopy. And a fifth for the Rigger that packed that reserve. :D

@FlingwingGolfer 11 лет назад

the helicopter can slow down but not stop that high up. the air is too thin to be able to hover. it looks pretty high up: higher than its OGE hover performance (Out of Ground Effect). if it were to stop, it would drop out of translational lift and start descending.

@GoochChapper 11 лет назад

So much whuffo expertise in here.

@SkrillexLiveJuly13 11 лет назад

It's not worth the risk, but I have no problem imagining the propellor would be able to slice through the thin plastic like nobody's business.

@MP7A3 11 лет назад

Careful what you cut mate, last thing you want is some chord flying free right into the tail rotor.

@wellsyman 11 лет назад

I am aware of the curve but they look like they were pretty high up and I imagine well out of the curve and with enough hight to auto from 0kts. Pilots probably are much more comfortable with fwd airspeed though no matter what altitude.

@shampoovta 11 лет назад

Holy crap quick thinking.

@sloppygran 11 лет назад

Even with a knife the chute could be sucked up into the propellers causing a crash (i don't skydive and i'm only 18, i'm just assuming that the propellers would suck the chute up)

@mcjasper 11 лет назад

Pin check anyone! Cutaway knive anyone! Pair of clean underwear anyone? Great story of a well known 4way professional skydiver asking someone about to leave the plane doing a hop and pop if they wanted a pin check. "Sure I'll get one on the ground." And out he jumps... After the jump the Pro approaches the newbie and explains that its common practice to have pin check before leaving the plane. "Oh !!! I thought you said 'Want a picture?'

@zeMasterRuseman 11 лет назад

This is why you don't parachute out of helicopters.

@soaceba 7 лет назад

holy shit... riding on the edge of so much potential crazy no good

@azon91 11 лет назад

I always carry my knife, but I actually am not sure how I'd cut that without it flying up and getting caught in the rotors of the copter.

@Black-1ce 11 лет назад

The guys on the helicopter told him to jump. He just said "fuck it, just jump" or something like that.

@toneuncagefire 11 лет назад

I'm not sure that you understand what a D-bag is? And the boogie had a free bar.......

@wellsyman 11 лет назад

Was there some reason the pilot didn't slow down to zero airspeed? I imagine that would have made pulling in the chute significantly easier.

@honkbag7828 11 лет назад

I'm not sure that you fully understand what's going on in this video.

@crackout69 11 лет назад

They have a reserve which you can see open.

@supasexystick 11 лет назад

excuse my ignorance, but if the helli wasn't moving forward wouldnt the air from the prop just push the parachute down which would mean it wouldn't get tangled

@kirbyghoul 11 лет назад

A helicopter flies by pushing air down. The chute would have been propelled downward.

@arkshen4309 11 лет назад

Great job save her butt, her canopy and the heli!!! Respect!

@P1ll_K 11 лет назад

At least they all had parachutes

@IronMountainBrewery 11 лет назад

So they would have two pieces of flapping nylon instead of one?

@skydivertricky 11 лет назад

In the UK, they do.

@Acidion 11 лет назад

D-Bag, as in deployment bag... where the chute was in...

@dedknedy 11 лет назад

Why exactly don't skydivers carry knives?

@ShiftLive 11 лет назад

just wondering, they're in a helicopter, if they just cut the cords, wouldn't everything just fly up into the propeller and crash the copter?

@honkbag7828 11 лет назад

Even knowing that everything turned out okay, watching this made me queasy. Also, if I had actually been present when this happened, you would STILL be trying to hose the fear-poop smell out of the chopper.

@hyphenpointhyphen 11 лет назад

And that's why we won't have flying cars in the future.

@mikymike7841 11 лет назад

he cant see is on the left of the helicopter the time he knew he started to land

@robnowicki6251 10 лет назад

If the pilot slowed (or knew of the situation), the drone may have gone UP into the main rotor. That'd have made for a bit of a mess.

@soaceba 7 лет назад

Rob Nowicki or tail rotor

@Braekyn 11 лет назад

D-Bag is the method of launch. Not a douche bag.

@Beavis71 4 месяца назад

Where's the hook knife???

@Skydive4ever 11 лет назад

WOW, scary moment, glad it worked out

@wellsyman 11 лет назад

Ya I thought about that but I just thought the forces of just the downdraught would be less than airflow of over 100kts or whatever speed they were flying at plus wind speed. Any pilots want to chime in here?

@Ron_Dizzle 11 лет назад

Great job guys thats scary! 131 jumps here

@ajnode 11 лет назад

You didn't take physics class, did you?

@alekivk 11 лет назад

because he has a backup shute

@Nyclady77 11 лет назад

amazing job!!! they saved everyone and the heli

@Skyfire1983 11 лет назад

I bet a Few Beers Were Bought By this Guy That Night!!!!

@gregarious24 11 лет назад

Why didn't they just grab a sharp object and puncture the chute?

@voodoo148 11 лет назад

Scary shit, but awesome job by the guys in the back. The dude who climbed out did an awesome job, balls the size of water melons! Good work fella!

@AGlasgowBoy 11 лет назад

The pilot probably could have landed in that time.

@pokerstar2004 11 лет назад

Holy CRAP - Great job everyone!

@gededrengen1234 11 лет назад

they asked him to.. "go, just go!"

@artfte 11 лет назад

I dont understand why the Helicopter did not land right away ,could someone please explain why ?

@mentosdivine 11 лет назад

as long as they maintain some altitude, they can all just jump from the helicopter, in case the canopy breaks loose an hits the rear rotor... but should they try to land it, and that happens in, say 300ft. you're pretty much boned!
