The thing spinning was not a parachute, it was a paraglider modified by taking two right wings and sewing them together so they would spin like a helicopter. Wasn’t out of control it actually worked exactly like he had planned.
@@willow9599 nothing was wrong. This guy likes to do crazy things. The first PARAGLIDER, was just to get him to a safe altitude to try out his self made “contraption” this spinning paraglider was not a regular paraglider. He literally took two right wings and sewed them together and combined the brakes into one toggle and was suspended under it with a swivel, so it would just spin rapidly while the swivel allowed him to hang underneath it and not spin, it worked perfectly. Now obviously he couldn’t control something like that it was just for fun and adrenaline. So then he disconnected from that and deployed a skydiving parachute. The only “parachute” was the one at the end. There was no malfunction, this stunt performed exactly how it was intended to.
@@SkidzFPV thanks for the information. Absolutely insane. I have a ton of buddies retired from being operators and more than one in a tier 1 unit. One, used to HALO into his son’s high school football games. Nearly all have said that this guy’s a nut case. Those I can get hold of with this clip. But I think that when it’s just a mode of transportation and not the objective itself…. AND once you’re on the ground and you’re killing people who are also dedicated to killing YOU… the perspective is entirely different.
I used to think that way. Then I learned how to fly paramotors and realized it was one of the greatest experiences you'll ever have. Try sipping on a coffee at 6 am at 5000 feet as the sun comes up. It'll change your life.
Looks like a modified paraglide chute, and looks like it was meant to spin. Pretty sure he was never in danger. It looks like he's really low the whole time.
Did anyone else watch his feats flopping around the whole time ? My theory is; they were so scared they ended up passing out and hoping for the best. Lol 😂
No they drop more dough every time even though you can basically rerig old ones just as reliably. Most of the time it’s not a cutaway but a release, same as you see twice in this clip.
There was no problem. That was planned. The parachute is supposed to do that, you can also hear him say "it's working perfectly" (or smth like that). He also had 3 parachutes which no one has. Normally you have a normal one and a reserve one.
@@jasonthomas2714 I was once a witness to a total chute failure. Guy hit the ground about 100 meters from my group at about 120mph. When he hit, he bounced just a bit. Medic standing next to me winced and whispered to me that the first impact shattered every bone in the body, but the “small bounce” sent all the fragments into the vital organs like shrapnel.
I have 28 jumps...He tried for as long as possible to "clean up a bad chute" ...out of altitude, he performed a "cutaway" ...got his body into a "stable arch with no garbage interference from his primary chute" and deployed his reserve chute. Tough decision to cut away the primary because there is no guarantee that his reserve will open. We are trained to perform a cutaway under these circumstances so the reserve will open in "clean air". ....if the reserve doesn't open, you "track at an angle" toward a lake or trees to break your fall....once over the trees or lake, it is time to slow terminal velocity of 120 mph down to 80 mph by assuming the "position of putting your entire body around an extremely large invisible beach ball"....during the last 5 seconds, convert your body to a verticle position, feet first, balls of feet extended, arms tight to your side to limit broken arms,....chin against your chest...so your head doesn't get ripped off....hold your breath.....you are now going to enter the water as "a high diver"....if you are especially gifted, leave the smallest splash......All the judges will give you a 10, except for the one judge from East Germany who gives you a 7.2 That's a water-landing, you actually have a chance to survive. As for a landing in the trees, assume the "beach ball position" as stated before, then kiss your sweet a$$ GOODBYE....... Maybe this information will help at least one skydiver to survive a "double-pack-failure" someday....
That was not a canopy it was a modified paragliding wing. He intentionally did that. He also only had a base rig on so it wasn't his reserve as you only have one parachute with a base rig. You must not have asked any questions or even understand your Skydiving gear by the sounds of that comment.
Yeah its not a canopy for skydive. Its a paraglider canopy, I think, and the guy did this on purpose for some reason. If your canopy was spinning and you had line twist you would try pulling the risers apart and kicking out of it.
Generally speaking, a secondary reserve is front-mounted. Looks like he’s banking on his reserve chute, but also this was an intentionally induced spin with a cut-away. Notice his first wing was connected with a single D-Clip and not properly connected at two anchor points (near his shoulders)? Kudos to this guy for testing his gear and sharing the adventure with us too!
First wing was a paraglider, cut away on purpose for fun. The second Wing looked like a kite for kite boarding also used for fun and cut away for fun then he was actually skydiving. At no point was he out of control it was all for fun
@@LordFoogThe2st_ I see that now, but either way, he kept his composure. Even when you plan for something to go wrong, in the moment it’s still a white knuckle experience.
honestly if i was in that situation my thoughts would be if i get through this, it'll be the last time i skydive, if i dont, it'll be the last time i skydive
In a situation where that is your parachute and not something your doing on purpose, he handled it perfectly either way. Best thing to do in that situation is cut and pull the emergency. If that doesn’t work leave it as a stringer and hope you land in water (feet first of course) and let it have some drag on you
