Did the student know this (after the jump)? During the jump he didn't seem aware of it
Glad to know that no one died this time, it does really show that your live is in the hands of the instructors quite literally when you do a tandem jump
@DJSbros look at 0:22 of the video (or just a second before it), you will see that the upper body of the student is not attached to the upper body of the instructor. It only shows a fraction of a second so you have to pay very close attention or stop the video at the right time
@DJSbros There are clips that connect each persons shoulders together. At about :22 to :23 you can see where both ppl are separated at the shoulders showing that the passenger is not secured. Imagine what might of happened if he was not secured when the shute deployed. Free falling at about 125 miles an hour and to come to a sudden stop when the shute deploys. The passenger would have been whipped forward possibly ripped off the lower clips. No telling what injuries he would haved sustained.
@SeRgA123456789 What the hell are you talking about you idiot! At what point did he ay anything about English being from America? You might also learn basic math, at least use wikipedia to look shit up. The difference is in the millions not thousands. You might also take reading 101, He said free world! Damn people make shit up and think it will stick these days too!
That is why you watch them connect all four points. Also why a responsible drop zone tells YOU about how you are connected so that you know what the instructor is supposed to do.
haha the tandem instructors face is priceless it says it all... " Fuck, i forgot to strap the shoulders... hmm i wonder if my filmer buddy saw that, good things he's not filmin... oh fuck im busted oh well might as well try to smile and make a good video for this girl and try to have a good time cuz im never doing this ever again once i land" :P
if you watch the exit you can see the passenger mess with the 3 right harness just as they're falling out. it looks like it's attached as he's exiting, i think it's the passenger's fault
@Crypt1cmyst1c if you look more closely the 2 connections at the shoulders were never hooked up. The student is just holding on to his harness which is what they are taught to do for a first time tandem. The harnesses are connected by a hook end coming from the student harness and a looped end on the instructors harness.
The "coach" does have a very odd look on his face when the mistake is realized. I'm very suprised that this wasn't caught before they exited the plane. Most facilities check and double check on the ground, in the plane, etc. Shoot...I had random "seasoned"skydivers leaning over to me in the plane to "monkey pick " over all the equipment. It is all a family-everyone watches everyone -at least that is how the drop zones that I've been to have functioned. Sad to see this, but good case study.
@TzeffNL ya the noise and the shaky plane on the way up with no seatbelts etc..(like theyd help anyway) kinda makes it seem a little more real lol....theres no backing out with your legs out of the plane :D loved it!!!!!!!!
I only do static line jumps. i have never sky dived. but isnt there a pre jump inspection from someone qualified whos not the jumper? just to catch possibly forgotten mistakes such as that?
@Paratrooper82ndFA there is none of that.... tandem students get hooked up to the instructor during approach to altitude. The only thing that gets 'inspected' is the rig being used.

av8rdav! We spoke a few years ago about this character. I helped kick this guy off the DZ and last saw him about 3 years ago in a little hick town in Oregon missing most of his teeth for his meth habit. On the downside, its a shame what he has done to himself, on the upside, there is no way he will ever work in the sky ever again.
how does the camera man NOT notice this as he is staring right at the rig the whole time before exit. maybe a whoa whoa signal, and we go around again? just a thought.
The instructor's harness has 4 hooks which he uses to attach the passenger to. 2 at shoulder level, and 2 at waist level.
When both board the airplane, only 2 top hooks are attached so that the passenger and instructor can move freely (different reasons for this).
Before the door is opened, the instructor must attach the bottom 2 hooks and tighten them. He forgot to attach, so the guy was flying with only 2 hooks attached.
Is it possable that as part of the staff of jump, the camera man- before exit can oversee the master conduct the link up as part of the buddys final pin check? Seem's that a simple procedure before exit could have been prevented with another pair of eye's
Also I have often thought while going to hight," If the plane did poo itselve i wonder if a tandum master could do a emegency exit quicker while semi undone?
@markeneier No he didn't know anything unusual had happened. However I did dub the video for him and gave him a copy. So it's possible, in the years since I shot this video, he has watched it a seen the problem.
@av8rdav i think you should have caught the uppers not being connected. it's first fault of the instructor but you should know how to give tandem gear checks prior to exiting which could have prevented this. look out for the people you work and jump with. this should be a given at all times. i shoot camera and i am an instructor too.
@ivebeenrocked sure we should look out for each other. but that's pretty harsh. maybe in a caravan or something where you watch them climb to the door. but crammed in a little thing like that camera guy wouldn't really see it
@beardedswine not true at all dipshit. i have over 9,0000 jumps and many from cessnas. if anything he should have seen it easier since you are much closer. making up stupid excuses asshole. stfu.
@ivebeenrocked good for you, you must be the man. what if he had like 4/500 jumps? then he's be pretty caught up in his own world. i bet you did this once and tried to blame the camera guy. tell me where you jump so i know where not to go. loser. how many base jumps you got then soft cock if you're the man
@beardedswine you're a typical skydiver cunt who thinks hes the shit, i see your kind all the time. i have a little over 600 base jumps. i jump at perris. being caught up in "his own world" almost got someone killed dipshit. get with the program. mistakes happen BUT this type of mistake should NEVER fucking happen, ever.
@ivebeenrocked haha. nah dude all i said was it was a bit harsh. happy for a healthy debate. you seemed to take it personally and came back with insults, so i figured i'd push your buttons and piss you off. it worked. i'm a safe, competent skydiver and base jumper. enjoy your anger moron
@tigwaump you're an obvious douchebag american, lol. hopefully your wife, sister and mother all get anal raped by roving black gangs, hahahahahaha. you cunt. now go get stomach cancer and do all us all favor by dying a slow painful death you shitface.
@ivebeenrocked You don't speak like someone who has 9000 jumps. 9000 jumps puts you in an elite group. Why is it all these dip shits have to post derogatory and anger inciting comments. Is it that they don't have a life and must try and make one online?
@av8rdav now go read this post and listen to yourself, cunt. "Elite" group? shut the fuck up. please i beg you to fucking bounce on your next jump and 2, get throat or stomach cancer and die painfully as soon as possible you fucking douche.
@ivebeenrocked you're a fucking idiot mate, get a little bit of criticism of a few people and you wish death on them? Well done on embarassing yourself.

@av8rdav How hard is it to FORGET to snap the student on all 4 points?! Seriously. You'd think that having the student ATTACHED to the instructor would be the instructor's FIRST thing to check, next to the parachute(s)...Geez.

PESTAAKAPEZ - iF YOU DON'T LIKE MY COMMENTS THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD KEEP YOURS TO YOURSELF...IM NOT A GEEK,,, IM A LICENSED SKYDIVER WHO HAPPENS TO LOVE HIS SPORT....A VERY DANGEROUS SPORT THAT IS VERY UNFORGIVING OF MISTAKES LIKE THE ONE IN THIS VID
@gateblokker Thats just typical of skydiving, everyone is a know all boring cunt who wants to give everyone a lecture, if I want to kill myself it's my business I don't need to do an autopsy of every fuckin thing that went wrong when I land, if anything it just makes people more nervous for the future, I always say most skydivers are wannabe pilots and model aircraft enthusiasts, boring bastards basically, its not what I wanted when I was getting into it, they make the funnest thing a misery
Just heard a large Military jet on way to/from Libya (I guess) fly over head, only a few thousand feet as could see flashing white beacon despite heavy cloud, also quite loud but steady noise, made the Ducks in the next town quack! 03:47 21/March/2011
@flyinbrian87 Yep I bet your right - I was once did a video for a tandem that had a malfunction and when they got to the ground the student never even knew it - just thought it was a fun ride. BTW the most nervous I had ever been while skydiving was being a tandem passenger for a buddy to regain his currency
@JohnF30Music So you're saying that having fun isn't a reason to do something? So are you honestly trying to tell me that you never do anything to have fun? Sounds like a boring life
They should get ready to go as soon as they enter the aircraft, as an emergency exit may be needed during the climb, and that is not the time to be hooking on and doing checks prior to exit.
I am aware of how the waiver works of liability works, but it's still a crock because the way it's worded it basically says that drop zone and anyone that is employed there is almost untouchable. Even if the instructor is clearly at fault the tandem student has no recourse( assuming they live). I know some of you disagree, but think if your loved one was killed or disabled because an instructor failed to properly hook up the harness correctly. Our sport is fun, but very unforgiving in mistakes
@plair473 They are untouchable. As far as I know, the waiver has not been defeated in a court challenge. In fact, my friend that died in the crash of his jump plane (he was not the pilot, he was an AFF instructor on the load). 4 of 5 people died. The survivor sued the pilots estate and lost with the judge awarding attorney fees to the estate to be paid by the plaintiff. The judge cited the waiver in dismissing the case.
@plair473 gross negligence is never covered in a contract of this sort, even though it may seem, if the DZ or instructior made a gross error of judgement any lawyer would tear that contract to shreds.... we are taught this in instructor training and is common knowledge giving the legal system today......The waiver is for people who are giving the proper instruction and fail too comply and then get hurt and feel they deserve compensation.... this is a high risk sport you know this when you jump.
@plair473 its great when you are about to jump, and the instructor that has your life in his hands is just reaking of weed. I have nothing against pot, but when someone elses life is in your hands like that don't smoke a joint right before.
This instructor has NO business jumping out of airplanes and endangering the lives of others........hmm, this is the real reason for having to sign a waiver, and don't try talking shit to me, I am a licensed skydiver. To "lookingforronfalter" ever heard of Carolyn Clay at West Point, VA ?
@plair473 The waiver is no longer required. The waiver was an FAA exemption for 1 person 1 parachute system. What they sign now is a release of liability.
Anyone in the crowd remember Roch Charmet (spelling??)?
setting a record for the most jumps in 24 hours in '88 or '89 I believe.
He was so tired he jumped out with his rig half on. He almost got it buckled and deployed before impact. So sad. I had some great fun jumps with him. he had over 20K jumps (probably still a record to this day)
back in the days when I jumped (80's), we always did a buddy check. That's nuts that no one else did a buddy check and detected it. It's murphy's law - if you don't do the buddy check, you'll screw up.
On the goggles comment below - I never used goggles. It messed with my vision.
But riding a motorcyle I always have a face shield or sun glasses.
His goggles (the instructors) were on the top of his helmet too when he jumped. If I was the student I would punch him in the face once we were safely on the ground.
My question is...what was the instructor doing with his time on the way up to altitude? Cessna's like that usually take a good 30 mins to climb to 10K and above. He had more than enough time to check and double check that everything was hooked up. Instead...he was probably runnin his mouth or otherwise not paying attention. UNACCEPTABLE -- On the way up to altitude I'm always looking at my gear or someone else's. Tandem instructors have a responsibility to their students as well as themselves.
I know a guy who did something like this, and his tandem rating was also pulled. I can never say it enough, safety, safety, safety. Always check your gear, even if you think it's all in place. I check my personal rig several times before putting in on, I check all three handles before getting in the plane, several times during the plane and right before I get out. I also have a pin check on the ground, and a pin check in the plane. You can never be too safe.
There was this one jump of mine-1 of the funniest ever.It was a 4way,and when we left the plane,we funneled-went to shit.People were tangled all up.I looked down at my left hand,and my alt. was wrapped up in my friends sunglasses tie.I pulled it off,and he immedietly grapped his eyes,and rolled over on his back,and sank.I looked over at my friend(who also lost his sunglasses)-his eye lids were peeled up from the wind.He said,"I could see fine!" So funny.
@david292978 I've said many times before. I have my checks to do, so no. Whenever you add anything unnecessary to the skydive you up the chances of something going wrong. A camera with a big lens on it it just waiting to snag lines or whatever. I have a ritual I follow before getting in the plane and during the climb to just before exit and that ritual doesn't include looking to see if the instructor has done his job right. Nor is there time to include it.
I remember an instructor putting out a student on his first thirty second delay from 4500. Lucky the student was already well versed with his altimeter. The instructor was very experienced and respected. He grounded himself and reported himself to the BPA.
His was a very important lesson to anyone who thinks they are above making very basic mistakes.... it can happen to any of us if we let concentration lapse for one moment.
he obviously was NOT there. he didnt check the hooks nor did he even pull down his eyepro... he hopefully was fired as soon as they landed.

@av8rdav How hard is it to FORGET to snap the student on all 4 points?! Seriously. You'd think that having the student ATTACHED to the instructor would be the instructor's FIRST thing to check, next to the parachute(s)...Geez.

chunter5100 1 year ago
They should get ready to go as soon as they enter the aircraft, as an emergency exit may be needed during the climb, and that is not the time to be hooking on and doing checks prior to exit.

casper2598 1 year ago
I am aware of how the waiver works of liability works, but it's still a crock because the way it's worded it basically says that drop zone and anyone that is employed there is almost untouchable. Even if the instructor is clearly at fault the tandem student has no recourse( assuming they live). I know some of you disagree, but think if your loved one was killed or disabled because an instructor failed to properly hook up the harness correctly. Our sport is fun, but very unforgiving in mistakes
plair473 1 year ago
@plair473 They are untouchable. As far as I know, the waiver has not been defeated in a court challenge. In fact, my friend that died in the crash of his jump plane (he was not the pilot, he was an AFF instructor on the load). 4 of 5 people died. The survivor sued the pilots estate and lost with the judge awarding attorney fees to the estate to be paid by the plaintiff. The judge cited the waiver in dismissing the case.
av8rdav 1 year ago
@plair473 gross negligence is never covered in a contract of this sort, even though it may seem, if the DZ or instructior made a gross error of judgement any lawyer would tear that contract to shreds.... we are taught this in instructor training and is common knowledge giving the legal system today......The waiver is for people who are giving the proper instruction and fail too comply and then get hurt and feel they deserve compensation.... this is a high risk sport you know this when you jump.
ZBUR23 11 months ago
@plair473 its great when you are about to jump, and the instructor that has your life in his hands is just reaking of weed. I have nothing against pot, but when someone elses life is in your hands like that don't smoke a joint right before.

@plair473 The waiver is no longer required. The waiver was an FAA exemption for 1 person 1 parachute system. What they sign now is a release of liability.

setting a record for the most jumps in 24 hours in '88 or '89 I believe.
He was so tired he jumped out with his rig half on. He almost got it buckled and deployed before impact. So sad. I had some great fun jumps with him. he had over 20K jumps (probably still a record to this day)
lookingforronfalter 1 year ago
back in the days when I jumped (80's), we always did a buddy check. That's nuts that no one else did a buddy check and detected it. It's murphy's law - if you don't do the buddy check, you'll screw up.
On the goggles comment below - I never used goggles. It messed with my vision.
But riding a motorcyle I always have a face shield or sun glasses.

jessie11982 1 year ago
My question is...what was the instructor doing with his time on the way up to altitude? Cessna's like that usually take a good 30 mins to climb to 10K and above. He had more than enough time to check and double check that everything was hooked up. Instead...he was probably runnin his mouth or otherwise not paying attention. UNACCEPTABLE -- On the way up to altitude I'm always looking at my gear or someone else's. Tandem instructors have a responsibility to their students as well as themselves.
a50745 1 year ago
I know a guy who did something like this, and his tandem rating was also pulled. I can never say it enough, safety, safety, safety. Always check your gear, even if you think it's all in place. I check my personal rig several times before putting in on, I check all three handles before getting in the plane, several times during the plane and right before I get out. I also have a pin check on the ground, and a pin check in the plane. You can never be too safe.

david292978 1 year ago 4
@david292978 I've said many times before. I have my checks to do, so no. Whenever you add anything unnecessary to the skydive you up the chances of something going wrong. A camera with a big lens on it it just waiting to snag lines or whatever. I have a ritual I follow before getting in the plane and during the climb to just before exit and that ritual doesn't include looking to see if the instructor has done his job right. Nor is there time to include it.

I remember an instructor putting out a student on his first thirty second delay from 4500. Lucky the student was already well versed with his altimeter. The instructor was very experienced and respected. He grounded himself and reported himself to the BPA.
His was a very important lesson to anyone who thinks they are above making very basic mistakes.... it can happen to any of us if we let concentration lapse for one moment.
