Most all sport rigs these days are what they used to call 'tandem rigs' because instead of the chest-mounted reserve, both main and reserve canopies are worn on the back...in tandem. Term isn't used any more because of the popularity of tandem jumping with its specialist tandem equipment.
you whuffos will never understand skydivers, just cause he is doing that does not mean hes gay, maybe hes doing it for laughs. its all part of being secure with your sexuality. with that aside, he had no idea how close he came to death in this one!
I've gone skydiving, and I love anything that flies...but for the LOVE OF GOD please stop putting "Highway to the Danger Zone" on flying/gliding/skydiving videos!
It looked closer than it probably was. Though it looks really close on this video. It's common to have the plane pass you in free fall if you are the last jumper(s).
Cost of certification in US is ~$1000-1200 for 7 AFF jumps. You then need a total of 25 jumps along with completion of various skills checklist. Used gear is minimum $1200 used and basic. More like $3000 for good used gear. All in all I budgeted $5000 when I started 4 years ago. Jump tickets range from $15-30 depending on the DZ.
I don't get you people. So what if he's gay? How does that make this video any less awesome? It never ceases to amaze me how people are so threatened by the insecurity they feel with their own inadequate masculinity that they feel the need to insult someone's sexual orientation based on what he does in a video just so they can feel more manly. Grow up.
lol...what makes you gay people think this is a gay skydiver? I'm not gay so you know, just wondering what makes this guy gay, if he was wouldn't he have his buddy flying on his back?
Wow man u needed a serious gear check. Closing pin flap was open. Riser covers were open. Lucky u didn't have a brake come unstowed and rap all ur lines up causing u to have to chop it. Pay a lil more attention next time
@PerKristian93 Im pretty sure that in order to get a liscence to solo skydive you haveto first get your AFF level 1 which consists of 7 static line jumps and 23 assisted jumps with instructors holding on to you.
All of the jumps together should total around 1500$ and that includes the ground training. Just contact your local skydiving airport and tell them that you want to get your basic liscence to jump solo (they like it if you call ahead)
A rig should run you about 1000$ :) hope that helps
@PerKristian93 it's not time. It took me 24 hours to pass the 8 jumps i needed to make through AFF (Accelerated Free Fall) course. Some people go through it quickly, for others it takes longer. "Proper" gear, as in a decent set of second hand gear, will be $3000+, brand new custom made top of the line gear will set you back closer to $7000.
@PerKristian93 i just got my A license it cost me around 2400 dollars and time it dependes on often u can go and jump to complete your 25 jumps it took me 3 months and took my friend 3 weeks so basically it how often you go hope this helps
usually i takes +- 10 jumps to learn basics of skydive. If the weather is good You can do it in 2-3 days - usually AFF coourse takes 2 weekends. If You want to buy Your own gear i will cost You about 3-4k $, but most of dropzones rents a gear, so U dont need to have Your own.
@PerKristian93 you may have got lots of replies before but whatever: You have to do an AFF, it's about $3000, or 1800 euro's. Really depands on where you live. Gear can be really expensive. I forgot the prices but I think it's about $5.000 - $10.000. The AFF is totally worth it though!
@PerKristian93 it costs about $2500 to get your A-license if you jump consistently and dont fail any of your AFF jumps. Gear ranges in cost from $3000 to $6000.
@PerKristian93 Second-hand gear where I live costs anything between €1,500-6000. The skydiving certificate costs €1190. Each jump when you've got the certificate costs about €16 from 3,000 meters.
Oh yeah... also it's a course going over 2 weekends here, but I'd say you put in about 40 hours of learning and executing the jumps into getting the certificate.
to learn AFF you have to do 7 lvl's. this lvl's are probebly 1 week. but you have to pass many other aff jumps for u'r licens for jumping all over the world. i think it was 30 but i'm not sure. how much the gear cost i don't know sorry ;(
there are 8 minimum jumps required for a class A license. proper gear. anywhere from 6,000 up. dont buy gear off the go, youll want to demo different containers and chutes before dropping that type of coin.
@PerKristian93 Honestly it doesnt cost that much. As far as being able to solo dive you have to have a minimum of 5 double jumps. After you do all that and buy your own gear(which is not necassary) it only costs about 30 35 bucks per dive to sky dive on your own.
@mastercueartist the latest AFF doesnt require five tandems. you can solo the first jump after a 5 hour class and you jump with two instructors the first three jumps, and one instructor jumps 4-7, jumps 8-12 with one coach, jump 13 is a low altitude solo, and then 7 more solo jumps. you need at least 25 jumps total
@stup922 Not that I am saying you are wrong...but just to tell you...I am curiuos what the guy was talking about 6 months ago when my mom went skydiving and he said you needed 5?
@PerKristian93 -- if i remember correctly the training will set you back around $2500- $3000 (depending on the club which will include the cost of solo license) + cost of Parachute (depends on the one you pick). Total time frame is just a few weeks. You will need to do ground lessons + multiple jumps with instructors.
@PerKristian93 Need to do 9 or 10 jumps to learn to jump solo. It's the Accelerted freefall course. Go to your local DZ and ask for prices. After you have 30 - 50 jumps yu buy your own gear, will cost 4- 5 grand for everything you need.
Most training programs run between $2,400 & $3,000. Time spent is anywhere from eight days to several months. Weather being the main determinant. You can buy a very nice used system for $2,000-$3,500. Renting costs about $100 per day.
google Accelerated Free Fall or AFF. it's about 9 jumps for the basic courses, but if you want to jump in many dropzones you need the "A" license which takes 25 jumps + parachute packing course. gonna start mine next summer. around here it runs 2600 buckaroos...
@PerKristian93 Where you live dude? I just am getting into it too, i'm looking into a course that will end up costing about 1800 dollars total :P haha i'm in canada i'll get about 8 jumps, all from 10'500 feet.
@PerKristian93 you need to do a AFF course wich consists in 7 jumps with instructors after that you can jump solo. but i have to say that by the first jump you will land alone and thats pure adrenaline. You can see my aff course in my youtube channel. subscribe because i will put more videos soon.
@PerKristian93 Most people do AFF training which would be at least 7 jumps (more if you don't pass them all on first try). After that I believe you can do solo jumps with minimum supervision, and at 25 jumps you can attempt to get your A-License which allows you to solo / group jump without a supervision. You can get your own gear from $2000 - $6000..
@ishtech101 ...I was referring to kenny loggins and his other sucky song, 'footloose"...don't google it ; )...ear-worms from hell.com....thanks though
@Jaromellz is it true that a skydiver has to pack THEIR own parachute? I wouldnt think so, but would love to skydive and definatly wouldnt wanna fuck that up..
@ishtech101 Yes you do pack your own chute but not until you know how. The instructors are very safe and check the chutes before going up. They won't let you F anything up.
What is up with the open Main pin flap and riser covers??? you're just asking for a pre-mature deployment and trouble. Who ever is doing your pin check needs to look out for these things for yours and others safety/
sky diving is a really cool activity but this guy somehow managed to show it as gay as possible ...but that plane almost killing him was fun to watch .!
I'm impressed the way the plane is able to descend faster than the freefall velocity of the skydiver.
I wonder whether that means the plane could dive down and "rescue" a skydiver who has jumped out forgetting to put on their parachute? I can imagine the conversation: "Here mate you forgot something..."
@neil9327 funny hearing some of the misinformed comments here!
The plane is called a Pilatus Porter and controls descent rate via the prop, in that it can go vertically down for an extended time hence the great visuals. However as a PPL holder and 6,000+ jumps I would be rather pissed off if this was me. I know how far away he/she/it! was and the aircraft passed between that person and the videographer. *NOT* COOL!!!!!!
Ok, I don't sky dive, could anyone who does tell me why did the plane pull that kind of dive, and what is the flap that's loose on the guys chute pack ?
plane is descending to the ground quickly to get the next load and/or refuel. Quick turnaround (loads per hour is key to an efficient operation)..
The flap thats loose on his back is a pin cover. The pin is attached to the pilot chute that pulls the canopy out at opening time. The pin cover protects the pin from getting snagged by the plane or other jumpers moving about. Shouldnt be flapping about....maybe not closed properly....maybe gear is not is good condition
Please just use a properly trained instructor. You can find certified drop zones through the United States Parachute Association (USPA) or you national association. Most countries have one. Canada, UK, South Africa, Australia, and many other places I have jumped. It is a self-regulated industry so just make sure you are not going to a "bandit" drop zone that doesn't follow the safety rules. Jump safe and you will still be alive in 20 years. I am. And loved every one of those jumps.
Skydiving is about flying. This pilot is also flying. He is very experienced and GOOD. I have photos of a plane I have left passing me in freefall. He had engines and could descend faster. This is just cool, I wish I had video and not stills of a super king-air passing me and the pilot waved as he went by.
@TheScottBuckingham You don't have to wear a helmate, if u become a professiolan skydiver with more than 20 individual jumps. Any ways if ur parashute failed to open, I don't think hemate would help alot lol

What is up with the open Main pin flap and riser covers??? you're just asking for a pre-mature deployment and trouble. Who ever is doing your pin check needs to look out for these things for yours and others safety/

I'm impressed the way the plane is able to descend faster than the freefall velocity of the skydiver.
I wonder whether that means the plane could dive down and "rescue" a skydiver who has jumped out forgetting to put on their parachute? I can imagine the conversation: "Here mate you forgot something..."

@neil9327 funny hearing some of the misinformed comments here!
The plane is called a Pilatus Porter and controls descent rate via the prop, in that it can go vertically down for an extended time hence the great visuals. However as a PPL holder and 6,000+ jumps I would be rather pissed off if this was me. I know how far away he/she/it! was and the aircraft passed between that person and the videographer. *NOT* COOL!!!!!!

@MgpMontville If you watch it again you can clearly see the plane on the other side of the diver not between the diver and the camera flyer.

Ok, I don't sky dive, could anyone who does tell me why did the plane pull that kind of dive, and what is the flap that's loose on the guys chute pack ?

@Postie218 The planes dive to save gas. takes less time to get down.

@Postie218
plane is descending to the ground quickly to get the next load and/or refuel. Quick turnaround (loads per hour is key to an efficient operation)..
The flap thats loose on his back is a pin cover. The pin is attached to the pilot chute that pulls the canopy out at opening time. The pin cover protects the pin from getting snagged by the plane or other jumpers moving about. Shouldnt be flapping about....maybe not closed properly....maybe gear is not is good condition

Please just use a properly trained instructor. You can find certified drop zones through the United States Parachute Association (USPA) or you national association. Most countries have one. Canada, UK, South Africa, Australia, and many other places I have jumped. It is a self-regulated industry so just make sure you are not going to a "bandit" drop zone that doesn't follow the safety rules. Jump safe and you will still be alive in 20 years. I am. And loved every one of those jumps.

Dtroy357 understands. The joy of getting your knees in the breeze. Bring back the freefall convention!!

Skydiving is about flying. This pilot is also flying. He is very experienced and GOOD. I have photos of a plane I have left passing me in freefall. He had engines and could descend faster. This is just cool, I wish I had video and not stills of a super king-air passing me and the pilot waved as he went by.

Aren't you supposed to wear a helmet when skydiving???
TheScottBuckingham 1 year ago
@TheScottBuckingham You don't have to wear a helmate, if u become a professiolan skydiver with more than 20 individual jumps. Any ways if ur parashute failed to open, I don't think hemate would help alot lol
toy741life 1 year ago
@toy741life Most of us wear the helmet for protection against hitting your head exiting the plane etc- and being unconscious at 10k feet..
