Atlas Angel stalls while dropping skydivers 2011

[parajesus]

holy fcuk. my stomach is still shaking just watching. i would left the bird asap when turned into downplane. not sure if that is the best but more afraid of being stuck in a coffin like that and not able to reach the doorway... i choose the closest spot on planes always (sometimes my legs are out in chopper flights) i trust my main canopy better than a plane :)

amazing video

[PdFortyTwo]

Very scary indeed. Why did the last guys stay with the aircraft so long?

Particularly worrying seeing the plane descending at the same rate, and in the same airspace as the tandem.

@PdFortyTwo The spin makes me worry about a tail strike tbh

Action starts at 2:33 for anyone wanting to skip another tandem vid opener

Sorry to be the dick who askes this but, name of soundtrack? :D

[MRCL8215]

@JamesWitte

Morcheeba - Even Tough (Surfing Leons Afternoon Remix).



[JamesWitte]

@MRCL8215 Thanks! where you involve in this vid? Wouldn't know what city in SA it was in would you?

[Frederikpotgieter]

@JamesWitte I was the main camea on the tandem and it happened at Wonderboom Pretoria

[MRCL8215]

@JamesWitte Heh nope I'm not even near the continent this video was made. I just happen to adore the soundtrack, too, and I'm a master in finding songs.

[JamesWitte]

@MRCL8215 haha I thought you were the owner of the vid when I typed that but turns out he commented anyway =D Thanks for finding the song!

Looks like it was intentional. Right seat is hands on the glareshield and with that many stripes should be able to correct a spin.

[alexandrelemelin]

@Airsport1961 he did correct the spin! However this was absolutely not intentional! As a skydive pilot myself, i would never put the skydivers in a situation like that, ever! oh and 3 stripes means co-pilot.

[ludgySA]

Scary stuff!!!

Well done to the guy who saw his fellow skydiver's reserve handle was loose and warned him about it.

Glad everyone made it down ok.

Excellent video. Freaky shit when the Aircraft develops issues! I've seen a couple of scarey Aircraft problems in my time (stalls, crash landings). Very glad to see that everyone got out safely & the Pilots revovered the Aircraft in time to land.
