The only thing I saw bad here was that the main side instructor had to dump him out since he did not pull. Repeat level 1. There was a little drama from a backwards launch with no arch but he righted himself.
Fucking Hooah! Lmao "just remember airborne, ias long as you keep your knees together when you land... You probably won't die... But if shit hits the fan, drink water and drive on" -Sergeat Major @ airborneschool
the good thing here is student looks good size. his natural fall rate is more than instructors. If it were other way around the instructors might go low and never get relative. I have at least 50 camera jumps and hundreds of relative work jumps so i know what i speak of. that said, these AFF instructors did mess up. things could have been worse if student never got somewhat stable. AAD would ultimately deploy in a no pull scenario. THIS VID CAN BE USED AS GOOD TEACHING TOOL FOR AFF.
@raysalsa1 Hey raysalas, I have only done my first tandem jump, but I was thinking, what is everyone talking about that it was the students fault?!? The instructors failed here not the student. My opinion he should have done a tandem first, but that's just me. I also did not even think of your point about weight, I was thinking if needed they could sweep into a dive and catch him but I never thought of the reverse. What would one do (instructor) in that situation? I am a skinny guy, good point!
@vizzuleyes well lets say 160 lb AAf instructor was taking 90lb girl on 1st jump. if she gets above him he can only slow down so much assuming she is stable but falling really slow. the instructor should be wearing a baggier jump suit or one with a little wing on it. that couls slow his fallrate if needed. any instructor can go faster by dive and swoop if needed. by the way it really doesn't matter if student has done tandem 1st before AFF. tandem is completely different. hoped that answered ?
@raysalsa1 Just what I was wondering thanks for the response. It makes you think why instructors don't have a drag chute equipped just for that type of situation you explained. In the event it happened, deploy the drag chute after student passes cute the drag and hit the burners. I think the only reason tandem is good is because not everyone knows how they will respond physically on the first jump, scared stiff isn't just an expression. lol Thanks again raysalsa.
Are you kidding me? That's all those douchebag instructors have to say? That is NOT the student's fault...learn to do your job before you bloody kill someone.
In fact, student self-stabilized and he is a big fellow that did not go into a tailspin. and this is only the first level. he has good prospects. Respect
@MuffZu I agree! I've seen people lose stability and go into a tailspin while both instructors are holding on to them!! I'm sure he did have quite the heartattack though!
@MuffZu You seem to be the only one to notice that this student managed to stabilize his position, face down, properly arched, allowing his instructors to aproach and re-establish contact. Sure it took him a few seconds to do it. Not bad for a new guy!
@PureAwesome92 lol...shitty work losing him to begin with....the student was already belly to earth by the time they got to him....If he would have held his arch on exit like you are trained......he wouldn't have looked like a big fat guy falling out of control.....he ended up belly to earth....but looks like by luck....
Maybe I wasn't paying attention as well as I thought I was but I could have sworn the instructors didn't actually grab on to me till we were all out of the plane my first time. Maybe it's different protocol for a side door exit. They looked like they had plenty of time to grab him, 40 seconds at least.
@drifter11232 Actually this is wrong. In first jump you can't control anything. You can be lucky and grab the hadn deploy but 99,9% of students made their first jump shooted by adrenaline. It's not that easy to grabd hand deploy while falling at 200km/h to the ground for the first time.
Honestly, the guy did a good job. I thought the job of the main side instructor was to stay with the student? But what do I know. He arched, corrected himself, and deployed.....on to CAT B!
He forgot everything they taught him for a second, but the instructors got him straightened out and he found his arch. If it had been a big deal they would have deployed his chute as soon as they got hold of him. This was just another day at the classroom with a D student.
ok, i have never done this, but it looked like he went into a dive instead of flattening out so the instructors could get to him. If i ever do that, I am going to them, they did real good in reaching him.
when i did my first aff out of the super otter we went on our backs and the instrustors never let go of me one tucked up while the other stretched out and it fliped us back over
It's not the student who was bad! The instructors were bad. the guy with the white helmet had a bad position to exit + he exited much to late in resulting to unstablelise the formation.
The student didnt do bad. He did the best thing he could. He stayed calm and rode the ride out until the instructors were able to get to him. Some people would of got hit by sudden shock and just decide to deploy the parachute in nerve.
@Scorpian472 Are you a skydiver? I'd like to know where they teach a level 1 AFF to "ride out the ride" when you lose both instructors. 5 seconds to arch, PULL, and save your life! He did exactly what he was NOT supposed to do.
@Scorpian472 I did my ground school for the level 1 yesterday, and they made it clear that if I ever loose both of the instructors then to pull straight away?
I think people are mistaking the title... Dont think its calling him bad.. Its saying AFF level 1 goes very bad ........... student loses both instructors... Should have had when inbetween those two points... However everyones right, I mean i dont know a thing about sky diving but even i think the student did real well here to recover and remain calm enough to do that... Id have shit a brick lol
The student messed up , he second guesses the jump and doesn't fully exit with his right foot. It puts them in a wierd spin, but i don't get why the instructors let go.
@32ndegree It was an AFF student that exited on "2" instead of "3", got out of control, and had two very good instructors that got back to him, finished the skydive, AND pulled his main canopy for him. Basically, You're an idiot.
@mrmusclepants These are not two very good instructors. They both let go for no reason. It was not because they were thrown off they simply let go. I have 2500 AFF videos, and have never seen such a poor represenation of instruction ever. I would fire both of them.
Couldnt agree more with the comments, instructors should loose their ratings......hopeless communication. Primary is more at fault but the exit wasnt that bad ! only a student who arched saved them from a cypress fire or worse. Ego's should be left on the ground
i totaly fucked up??? You were the only one who did GOOD. Weak ass instructors who can`T hold on. And i agree with wreagfe. He should advance at least 4-5 jumps, cause that was a 15 sec unstable FF jump. lol
WTF happened to those instructors? Weak wrists? That guy could have died.....they need to go back to school and maybe do some weight training once in a while. Sorry but I think the student was the best jumper on the load.
Why do y'all keep saying it was the instructors fault? This guy was very nervous in the door and went to the sitting position and was severely de-arched on exit, of course he is going to funnel the exit. I funneled my exit on my second skydive ever. Nothing the instructors could have done about that, just keep reminding him to relax and arch. Yea, the main side probably could have done a better job holding onto him, but hell nobody is perfect.
In English,. What do they teach during the AFF cert. course? If an exit gets unstable the reserve side releases, allows the main side instructor to regain the stability and then the reserve side instructor re-docks. Remember? Do you understand now? it is amazing that some people are able to get ratings...
This guy did a great job at regaining his arch and stabilizing himself. Well done, sir!
I got to my 2nd (or third) AFF and failed because I couldn't control a spin I'd continually go into when let go by the instructors. Always slowly rotated to the right for some reason. I'd dip my left arm lower, but to no avail.
Anybody here a teacher or has enough jump experience to know what I'm doing wrong? I'd love to get back into the sport but failed one level twice because of this problem.
@rekunta I'm not an instructor, not even a skydiver - yet. Is there an indoor skydiving facility near you? Maybe some time in a tunnel might help you work through it.
@RP7Q9M Nope, my skydiving career is on hold. I'm on Maui, there's no windtunnel anywhere in the state, and the nearest DZ is on O'ahu, a 20 minute plane ride. I don't even know if they certify AFF. It'd be too expensive to jump the puddle every weekend, not to mention gear rental and class costs. Probably have to wait until I move to the mainland to pursue jumping again. :-(
@rekunta Hi Rekunta, it could be a combination of things from your legs being unbalanced (fixable by tapping your toes) or a twisted body or a combination of a few things. In truth your instructor should have seen and told you. Best way to proceed from here I suggest would be some tunnel time. You'll be sorted in no time. Blue skies dude
ah ah aha h... he's on his back, sit flying, tracking...then head down... he did awesome!!! already looks like he has 500 jumps! ah ah aha ha ha.... amazing!
Wouldn't it be easier for the student to arch right away if they exited sideways or just do a dive exit rather than jumping out backwards? I would personally prefer exiting backwards at a higher level, I mean, it was his first jump after all. He did a good job stabilizing though, and the instructors did a great job catching up with him!
Another great AFF1 at Deland..... At least his spot was good, my instructors landed out, I barely made it back. I finished my AFF at Skydive Sebastian.
You need to just step off the ac and let the relative wind hit you in the chest. He went with a little jump and that caused him to go into a back flip. He never did a tandem because of his size, I'm sure he did well after this jump.
That was exactly my thinking too. I mean, the guy had never jumped before. They had to have known that, and common sense would surely force you to think "Okay, this guy is new, so he's probably not ready to exit with a GODDAMNED BACKFLIP." I've only ever done one tandem jump, and even I can tell the instructors were grossly neglectful/complacent. It's like they forgot that skydiving means "jumping to your death unless you're doing it right".
@jazzthieve "The student was at fault" is a JOKE students are always "at fault." they are guaranteed to make mistakes like the genius below who said " I funneled the exit on my very second skydive ever." NO shit. that's what students do, and the instrctors are supposed to stay with them not LOSE THEM: "Oops, guess I lost him. Well, too bad...."
@XPLANEFSX Every skydiving rig contains two parachutes... one main and one reserve. The bottom of the rig contains the main, which is what you see open at 2:48. The top of the rig contains the reserve. As you can see from this video, his reserve was never used.
HOLY SHIT!!! I wa thinking during the slo-mo: "GASP!! Are they gonna catch him?" Are they gonna catch him?! Are they...,.?!" THAT was SO freakin scary! Great vid!

In truth your instructor should have seen and told you. Best way to proceed from here I suggest would be some tunnel time. You'll be sorted in no time. Blue skies dude

Wouldn't it be easier for the student to arch right away if they exited sideways or just do a dive exit rather than jumping out backwards? I would personally prefer exiting backwards at a higher level, I mean, it was his first jump after all. He did a good job stabilizing though, and the instructors did a great job catching up with him!

Cases of beer? Doing an AFF for the first time out of a plane would REALLY be intense.

Well he got stable by himself on the first jump, so he proceeded to level 4 right? ;-)

Another great AFF1 at Deland..... At least his spot was good, my instructors landed out, I barely made it back. I finished my AFF at Skydive Sebastian.

You need to just step off the ac and let the relative wind hit you in the chest. He went with a little jump and that caused him to go into a back flip. He never did a tandem because of his size, I'm sure he did well after this jump.

I would say "bad instructors, but a good student", because after a bad exit the student stabilized himself.

@pestananeto
That was exactly my thinking too. I mean, the guy had never jumped before. They had to have known that, and common sense would surely force you to think "Okay, this guy is new, so he's probably not ready to exit with a GODDAMNED BACKFLIP." I've only ever done one tandem jump, and even I can tell the instructors were grossly neglectful/complacent. It's like they forgot that skydiving means "jumping to your death unless you're doing it right".

@pestananeto the student was at fault here aswell. He mest up the exit timing AND did not arch at all. Only later on he did,
jazzthieve 6 months ago
@jazzthieve "The student was at fault" is a JOKE students are always "at fault." they are guaranteed to make mistakes like the genius below who said " I funneled the exit on my very second skydive ever." NO shit. that's what students do, and the instrctors are supposed to stay with them not LOSE THEM: "Oops, guess I lost him. Well, too bad...."

2:48 Reserve chute ?
2 parachuts in one "bag" ?
XPLANEFSX 9 months ago
@XPLANEFSX Every skydiving rig contains two parachutes... one main and one reserve. The bottom of the rig contains the main, which is what you see open at 2:48. The top of the rig contains the reserve. As you can see from this video, his reserve was never used.

It's better to do 3 Tandem jumps first. A big student and two little instructors.
