This guy was a fool. His course prior to first jumping was 6 hours long and told him view to deal with certain malfunctions.... As a student he opened at 5500 ft and was open around 4500. That means this dip shit had a loooooong time to cutaway if he felt he couldn't land.
@hunster990 Well, skydiving's safer than skiing. More people are injured or killed by percentage whilst skiing than skydiving. People just hate the idea of falling to their death, that's the only reason for the prejudice against the sport, also the fact that you have to rely upon your equipment to save your life each time, people don't like the idea of not being in control of absolutely everything, even though they themselves are the biggest liability. The equipment's safe as houses.
fucking lucky and zero technical sense or intuition like a woman. anybody would have known or felt that the distance is too short to make the second shute deploy
Im sorry if this sounds blunt but i would have no sympathy for people like this, this is just down right stupid, you make up your mind and do the drills high up to give plenty of time to cut, i hope he wasnt allowed back into the air
3 S's... Square, Steerable and Stable. His pull altitude on a first jump would have been at least 5000 ft. (wave off at 5500, pull by 5000). By 4000 he should have realized he did not have a fully square and steerable canopy and cut away. This was COMPLETELY avoidable. Not a hero...just flippin' LUCKY.
totally agree with virtualcontext1975 he was an idiot... below 1000 ft he was committed to his canopy... ive had the same problem and its easily steerable... just have half brakes on the left toggle and drop it just before the flare....
i fell 6 ft off a pole and broke an arm. that guy fell 300 ft feet first and a sprained ankle. whats so special about him? he was trying to commit suicide but failed.
@TheCannonofMohammed No, this man was an idiot. One of the first things you're taught for your first jump is to cut that shit away if it's not controllable, which for a student, and considering the problem, probably wasn't. He had roughly 4700 feet under a stable canopy to "size up his problem and take courageous action". Long story short he had brain lock and didn't follow his training, and got lucky as hell. That is not a hero, not by a long shot.
Did he even have training or was this one of those idiotic weekend warrior things where you pay a chunk of money to do that? My son is Airborne and some of the stories I have heard from guys who have a bunch of jumps still have had things happen but they are better equipped to deal with them. This was stupid.
@RBCHOKE But he jumped didn't he ? And he survived as a first time jumper. I would say every fear you can imagine was going through him. Certainly whatever he did not do right he will learn from it. What he did right was stay alive.
This guy is VERY lucky! Never cut away at such a low altitude! Either ride that sucker in, or cut away much higher. One very lucky dude....................
mark, as you may know, black ppl is not made to fly, so please stay on the ground, do your business and please save the grave to someone who is really worth it.
10 facts about you: 1. You are reading this comment 2.You are realizing that is a stupid fact 4.you didn't notice I skipped three 5. You're checking now 6. You're smiling 7. You are still reading my comment 9. You did not realize I skipped eight 10. You're checking again and smiling about how you fell for it again. :) 11. You are enjying this 12. You didn't realize there are only supposed to be ten facts Copy and paste this on ONE video...And tommorrow will be the best day ever
AFF pulls you at 5500 ft... He had 3000ft to determine if he wanted to keep that chute or not... there is no reason to cut away at 300 ft... Unless he wants to become a base jumper...
Either instructor did not pay enough attention to the emergency procedures, either big tough guy just freaked out. Anyway, he was supposed to jump with a radio headphone, that alows the instructor to guide the student through the landing procedure. I'd say the guy just panicked. And did not listen. The skydiving itself isn't dangerous. Stupidity is.
... is he retarded?? who cuts a fully inflated parachute from their head at 300 feet... should've just ridden it out, he was heading into trees anyways... better than no parachute
And I might add that I've personally witnessed two deaths and one near-death from jumping. One was a stupid mistake of not maneuvering around power lines. Arc'd a flame that to this day I've never seen before. The other was a student static-line that failed to disconnect from the plane. The student failed to open his reserve after the jm cut the line. And the other near-miss was a student that had a snivel and barely opened his reserve above the treetops after falling from 2800'
He could have landed his parachute with a pilot chute pulling on some lines. He got scared and then panic set in. I've safely landed tandem students with the drouge through the nose.
Don't cut away something you can land. PLF if you must.
viewing the situation for what it is, this man made some HUGE mistakes. The man should have cut away much much sooner, students like him will deploy their parachutes at 5,500 feet, the parachute should be fully open by around 4,500 feet, after this you have a LOT of time to check out the parachute before landing, at this point he should have cut away. He is dumb because of his actions, not because of his skin color.
When you go through ground school they teach you about these kinds of things. For instance, they teach you about the hard deck. For students that is usually 2500ft. After that, if you have a decently working parachute, don't cut away especially at 300ft. That could have killed him. He could have landed the parachute. He just had to correct the right turn by pulling the left toggle down some more. Should have cut it much earlier if he was going to cut away.
This guy was told everything and had a walkie talkie, he was flying a perfect parachute he said " it didnt look like i was going to clear the trees under this parachute so i thought i would try the other 1" the RSL saved him just goes to show, im not racist but theres a reason there are not many black skydivers....
dopey dumb fuck complete retard shouldnt be allowed to operate any kind of machinery not instructors fault he dumber than bag of rocks bet he cant swim either.....
There are other videos of this on Youtube, in which the instructor describes watching in amazement as this guy cut away from a perfectly good chute. This guy is an idiot!
Fucking idiot. He should have died cutting away at 300 feet. Once you are below 1000 you are committed. He had a long time to get his shit fixed or to cut away at a good altitude. The only "disaster" I see here is a dipshit that tried to kill himself and is lucky to be alive.
@HYPNOTICVIDEO The only thing I hate is when people screw up and make bonehead moves like this and make the sport of parachuting look more dangerous than it actually is. If he had listened in class they tell you these things. Like "make sure your chute is squared away while you still have time to cut away", and "never EVER cut away below ~1000 feet." and "cutting away at 300 feet will KILL YOU" - "dead".
He wasn't "Forced" to cut away. He was poorly trained, or did the wrong thing anyway. When a chute opens. You immediately do a controlability check. Had he done so. He would've chopped it @alt. As it was. He could have countered w/a little reverse toggle. The trees saved him. Reserves take 400ft to open, & start to slow you down.
Sounds like somehow the forest broke his fall... anyone who would do a cutaway at 300 ft is crazy... if he was wearing an altimeter, he should have used his reserve by 1000 feet at least. I really wonder if some of these skydiving videos on YouTube are legit... you can't just purchase some jumps without jumping tandem first and getting your AFF which takes seven levels to get through and you're taught how to handle situations like this. Some of these videos are fishy.
Mark Banini failed his course of instruction. He was certainly told on many separate occasions what the minimum altitude to begin emergency procedures for a main canopy malfunction are and he didn't follow those instructions. He's lucky to be alive.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
I'm a paratrooper with the Canadian Forces. Dude should of rode it out and called for help upon a hung up. Never cut away your main. Especially when it's something like this. The person below me hits the point home though. Lol this guy is lucky to be alive.
@base320 Sure you can, Its called a canopy transition. Usually done when the Automatic Activation Device opens the reserve during main deployment or soon after. After 9 reserve rides I've never done it but have seen it done. Just so you know. Blue skies---Black death!
@Fallnfast i was refering to the case in point, of a fully opened main, i think you will find if you deploy the reserve while under a slow, large canopy like that, it will just pop out and trail behind you, anyway, who really gives a shit.
Thank God! I just had a scare when on my second jump all the wires of the parachute got tangled and we continued to free fall, twisting insanely. Made my first jump seem posititvely boring. I think I'll take that kind of boring!
he was forced to cut himself free? he is a fucking idiot. listing to ur instructor next time. im sure they told you not to cut away after 2000 ft. specially went you had a full open parachute.
@DarkStorm007 It's "Reserve Static Line". It's attached to the main canopy so when you cut your main canopy away, it is designed to deploy the reserve immediately following. Helps reduce the amount of time that you have no canopy overhead in the event of a failure.
fuckin idiot... he should never be aloud to jump again.... he went throught a five hour class and still cant follow directions.... hes gonna end up killing somebody else by his dumb actions.. WHAT KIND OF AN IDIOT CUTS AWAY AT 300 FEET?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!??!?!?!!?!?
forced to cutaway at 300 ft?????? bull crap, he was trying to commit suicide, thankfully his dumb aZZ forgot the RSL is hooked up on all student gear so when he cut it away it gave him the reserve chute instantly.... the replay shows nothing wrong with his canopy (including the pilot chute) and he had over 4 minutes flying around his parachute to decide if he wanted to cut it away! What a loser!
@atrain910 Holy shit you are stupid! I am sure he thinks it was a bad idea too now, if you fell off a motorbike for example, and was skidding along the road, most people would impulsively try to stop themselves from getting some distance. While that's not the best idea, we all give ourselves a split-second to make a decision, and the best idea in that split-second is what we stick with, he survived, so it worked for him, and saying otherwise makes you one stupid abortion poster-child.
@SirSexyAlot "split second decision"...... really! ha ha ha, do you know how long it takes for a student canopy to get down to 300ft ! he probably had 4 minutes to figure it out! , .... and lets not forget, he would have no injuries if he had just landed the first parachute, maybe he thought the cutaway handle was a toggle and flaired, again this guy made it into a big publicity stunt, and in turn I pay more for 3rd party insurance because of idiots like him
I am going through my AFF and so far i have been told NEVER to cut away below 2500... i believe that number should be closer to 1500... either way this guy did a dumb move :D
Stupid Idiot -.-

Sounds like somehow the forest broke his fall... anyone who would do a cutaway at 300 ft is crazy... if he was wearing an altimeter, he should have used his reserve by 1000 feet at least. I really wonder if some of these skydiving videos on YouTube are legit... you can't just purchase some jumps without jumping tandem first and getting your AFF which takes seven levels to get through and you're taught how to handle situations like this. Some of these videos are fishy.

Jesus Christ cut your chute at 300 feet thats Mad. So wish we had footage from you on the way down.

Only idiots cut away at 300 ft. And only idiots cut away with a main that good.

Mark Banini failed his course of instruction. He was certainly told on many separate occasions what the minimum altitude to begin emergency procedures for a main canopy malfunction are and he didn't follow those instructions. He's lucky to be alive.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

@emfury11 True story. That's probably his average vertical jump and that's why black people are good at basketball.

I'm a paratrooper with the Canadian Forces. Dude should of rode it out and called for help upon a hung up. Never cut away your main. Especially when it's something like this. The person below me hits the point home though. Lol this guy is lucky to be alive.

Could he have opened the reserve first before cutting away the main? as in the way paragliders or hang gliders do?
superjezz 1 year ago
@superjezz no, the two canopies may entangle, that`s why you cut away, to give the reserve free space to deploy.
wirikuta14 1 year ago
@superjezz errrr.....no you cant open a reserve while the main still attached einstein
base320 1 year ago
@base320 Sure you can, Its called a canopy transition. Usually done when the Automatic Activation Device opens the reserve during main deployment or soon after. After 9 reserve rides I've never done it but have seen it done. Just so you know. Blue skies---Black death!

@Fallnfast i was refering to the case in point, of a fully opened main, i think you will find if you deploy the reserve while under a slow, large canopy like that, it will just pop out and trail behind you, anyway, who really gives a shit.

Thank God! I just had a scare when on my second jump all the wires of the parachute got tangled and we continued to free fall, twisting insanely. Made my first jump seem posititvely boring. I think I'll take that kind of boring!

DarkStorm007 9 months ago
@DarkStorm007 It's "Reserve Static Line". It's attached to the main canopy so when you cut your main canopy away, it is designed to deploy the reserve immediately following. Helps reduce the amount of time that you have no canopy overhead in the event of a failure.

Ok I just started jumping and you are not suppose to cut away and deploy your resrve at 300 feet. So dumb

forced to cutaway at 300 ft?????? bull crap, he was trying to commit suicide, thankfully his dumb aZZ forgot the RSL is hooked up on all student gear so when he cut it away it gave him the reserve chute instantly.... the replay shows nothing wrong with his canopy (including the pilot chute) and he had over 4 minutes flying around his parachute to decide if he wanted to cut it away! What a loser!
atrain910 1 year ago 2
@atrain910 Holy shit you are stupid! I am sure he thinks it was a bad idea too now, if you fell off a motorbike for example, and was skidding along the road, most people would impulsively try to stop themselves from getting some distance. While that's not the best idea, we all give ourselves a split-second to make a decision, and the best idea in that split-second is what we stick with, he survived, so it worked for him, and saying otherwise makes you one stupid abortion poster-child.
SirSexyAlot 1 year ago
@SirSexyAlot "split second decision"...... really! ha ha ha, do you know how long it takes for a student canopy to get down to 300ft ! he probably had 4 minutes to figure it out! , .... and lets not forget, he would have no injuries if he had just landed the first parachute, maybe he thought the cutaway handle was a toggle and flaired, again this guy made it into a big publicity stunt, and in turn I pay more for 3rd party insurance because of idiots like him
