I'm sitting here on my couch, saying "Cut that shit away". A second later, I hear the guy say, "Cut that shit away". I laughed. Then took a breath, when he finally did. Jesus. Took long enough.
@@Mathy_Base does a cypres cut away your main though? It didn't when I used to jump but I'm prepared to accept that technology may have advanced since then.
Student gets approx 45 second canopy ride, meaning reserve wasn’t open until below 750 feet. (That would have been less than five seconds of free-fall if reserve hadn't opened.) Scary!
one of my instructors has 8000+ jumps and on my 6th jump with him i asked when i will no longer feel the fear when im approaching the exit of the plane. he told me the moment you stop feeling that fear is the moment you should stop skydiving.
I once had a student who spun her canopy into the ground even though i flew past her twice and shouted that she should cutaway. But she didnt ! She got lucky and landed in a tree and walked away with just bruises. I sprained my ankle landing in a field close by.
Not one comment about that ridiculous exit,why was the jump master holding the pc? Even if it was meant to be a hop and pop for canopy control or something why is the pc already out and held by the jump master?
It would if the parachute wasnt hung up so bad. Flaring the toggles is a great way to get a canopy under control. But if it can't be controlled before you reach your decision altitude. Get rid of that shiz.
I opened a T-10 at 800 feet in my early days, just had to feel the ground rush! My right hand was locked onto the ripcord all the time until I opened it! My left arm was raised forward of my head to keep myself stable. I'am not proud of it, the bystanders where schocked, I promised to never do that again! But it felt good! I jumped about 2.310 jumps by using squares, never had any malfunction,...yet! I just love skydiving!
@aAaa aAaa No. They are more difficult to cutaway in low drag malfunctions, like streamer or bag-lock, since the rings face your body, and your body prevents the rings from flipping thru each other.
GREGG GILLOTT Very estute observation. It would be if they were a standard set of American risers. But I think they are some weird European contraption that manufactured them that way. Although they look odd the cutaway process works the same.(I tested it out a few times lol)
Den Konoplin the speed changes between pro and student models, not the altitude. The student cypress will fire at the same hight but at a vertical speed of 29 mph
The Cypres is set to 750 feet and can be increased in increments of 100 or 200 feet for the expert only. Students are set to 1250 and only student mode is on multi-mode version. The speed for activation is 78 mph.
My cut away looked kinda like that. Our best guess is a tension knot. Everything was perfect when we gathered it up. But, I had a corner pulled in, and I just spiraled faster and faster until I cut it away.
You ever taught IAD or Static Line methods? Very standard to hang off the strut. Other than the landing gear it's the best load bearing item on the plane.
It didn't stall because of the weight, the wing stalled because the angle of attack went critical because of drag cause by the hanging body. The person hanging could have caused the airplane to enter a spin by hanging like that. Good thing the pilot was flying fast enough to overcome the drag.
Not just IAD. we hang off of struts all the time. If a human body weight on the wing affects a wing loaded for lift on a 180 even than that is one weak ass plane with structural issues.
