J.R.'s Skydive Jump Gone Wrong

[roddog24]

HOOK TURNS PROHIBITED! The new dropzone rule...

[marine919]

Looked to me like he was making a swoop landing and he turned too low to ground ? Sad to get hurt this way !

[2handle2hard]

Was it downdraft or what? His aproach was far from normal

[Makaveli42069]

thats fucked up that you have happy music playing while that fool eats shit.hahah

[Bisnarty]

Dude, be more careful. You are lucky you are alive.

[timofthedead100]

lag... its a bitch

[harmz2005]

You make this shit 8 minutes long and you don't even get to see anything! what a cunt!!!

[LukeHand16]

Ah hes fine we all make mistakes. ( I know he broke his pelvis i mean fine as in someone not to be criticized because he did some he shouldn't have done everyone does something stupid in there lives more times than once)

[ShakyBones797]

I've broken my pelvis before, it was the single most painful experience of my life.

[lumberjum555]

poor guy

[be1right2back]

hee rengentboy18 nederlander!

[ZBUR23]

so what did he do wrong to cause that hard landing?????



[awall9184life]

<3 ash.

[012776547931]

lol it sais shut up an jump rite next to the ledge in which you jump off sum words of wisdom

[ar5000]

The "something" that went wrong was (canopy) pilot error. Totally avoidable! What the hell was that anyway? At first it looked like he was going to do a 270, the stopped halfway through, and starts turning the other way?!? It also looked like it was probably toggle turns, not front risers (a really bad idea). And what was that canopy? It was clearly non-elliptical. I'm guessing that he's probably hardly ever done a high performance approach or else he'd be jumping a canopy designed for it

[Lehmann108]

@ar5000 I'm a scuba diver becoming interested in sky diving. This accident reminds me of all the idiot scuba divers that hurt or kill themselves because they do something stupid and violate something they learned in training. Even experienced divers will occasionally do something so amazingly stupid and kill themselves that you are left stunned by their stupidity. This sky diver is the same way. He's an idiot. This didn't "just happen." He caused it. He's a fool. 

[MilkyMcCheese]

WHAT IS HIS PELVIS? WHAT PART OF THE BODY?

[dabraca]

@MilkyMcCheese aka the dick bone

[MilkyMcCheese]

@dabraca LOL THX

[flashvortx]

showing off for the camera - not usually a good thing

[leowashere125]

Skip to 3:22 to save your self time

[ar5000]

@leowashere125 - actualy skip to 6:40 where the guy biffs in.

[TheWhiteSheWolf1]

Bad landing, but beautiful view!

[studionightbird0]

I'm going to hell for laughing at that guys pain sounds aren't I....god damn it

[robinballachey]

I just got into the sport...what the hell happened here?!?!?

[sla496]

dude thats gotta hurt are you still jumping

[84velo]

DUH! When you yank a toggle less than 100 feet off the ground, you will break shit. JR is a dumb-ass.

[84velo]

Dude, you need to rewrite your description of this video Saying, "...teach you that after almost 400 jump something can go wrong." is why the average whuffo thinks skydiving is dangerous. Nothing "went wrong" in that jump, other than your friend being a stupid fuck. He was the only thing that went wrong. Remember this - If you're going to be stupid, you better be tough.

Somebody that would have joined our sport reads this and thinks that something went wrong with the equip  PLEASE CHANGE IT

[yarpos]

400 jumps isnt actually that many. quite often its where you get yourself into trouble thinking yeah Ive got all this under control.....and often you havent really.

[JanNicable]

Can i ask who you were jumping with? Cuz I'm looking into going sky diving with a friend and we live in Tulsa OK....

[roddog24]

@JanNicable Skydive Airtight, Skydive Tulsa are the two closest to you.

[Misdirecting]

either the wind was really bad or he was just being careless but most skydive deaths are do to carelessness but hes lucky he only was injured!

[Taz0161]

He's pretty lucky , he landed kinda close to that wall. one good wind gust could have made the difference bewteen a broken pelvis and ending up 6X6

[NIGHTEHAWK]

was this at Skiatook?

[l0lkie]

thanx god he still alive...this was really really stupid thing

[ZvoneFromOsijek]

it's not the bones man...it's equipment...but this was bad landing :(...i'm sorry

[bashatonic]

it would seem that our society is held to gether with duck tape! love it

[thejakcal]

PLF

[drumatic86]

@6:40 i guess this is definitely a hook turn you should avoid ?

[evilbeaverofdeath]

good god i think u can hear the bone break!!!...listen carefully when he hits the ground from the closer camera...u can hear it!

[regentboy18]

He is wearing a wireless mic.  That is why we can here him, as well as the impact.

[tim0090]

@regentboy18

good advertising

new windless mic you can even here your leg break on impact.

must of heart!!!

[TAQoftheDarkside]

thank God, he's going to be alright.

stupid question, but why did you furl your slider? i've only jumped on student rigs so have never even seen zip furls like that.

[dorbie]

I don't think it has much to do with downsizing, he has 400 jumps, it's a reasonable big canopy and he spiraled it into the ground, I wonder why. I'd guess he was too close to the buildings and kept turning to avoid.

Every jumper shoudl learn to execute flat & flaring turns well.

[Z3r0XoL]

wtf "loves jesus and horses"

[seandehav]

hope we all learn something from that! I hope you recovered well!

[ArtexanMetin2Lyra]

lol "shut up and jump" ahahah xD

[lvcyberpimpin]

I like the way the one guy walks up..."Hang on Bill i'll be right back, i gotta take a shit."

[JOELEYE]

That happened on my birthday! I'm glad he was ok.

[diegop1790]

ouch!

[neomuttley]

I'm new to the sport. I've been hurt enough in other sports. I think I'll stick to the 'No turns below 200ft rule..." Let the youngins swoop & hook. No Thanks.

[nevno1]

wat happend can realy see

[neomuttley]

He tried to hotdog his approach. No turns below 200ft. It should be a steady glide for the final approach leg. Whatever the sport is. You get good. You get cocky. Then, you get hurt. It's a progression as old as time...

[TheJooooker]

robert e lee eats monkey

[poopchunk3]

hes going " ah ahaha aha hahaha aha hahaha

[odea32000]

looked more like a stupid attempt at a swoop bad attempt too!

[FPSDonut]

Stupid hurts. I belive the saying is NEVER TURN LOW. I imagine he just HAD to face into the wind for landing?

[cbkyro]

No, Skiatook Lake..

I had only been out once that month and never heard of the incident til I just found it on here.

Never jumped with you J.R. except when you got out at 5k once on the way to altitude back in 2007 sometime.

Glad you're alright. blue skies!

[robeert101]

where was this filmed at? lake wales?

[regentboy18]

Tulsa, Oklahoma

[JuiceBanger1]

Nasty Landing. hope he heals well. note to myself - no low turns.

[zhillsx]

Why all the radical turning that low?.....He has a large open feild to land in

[woda0603]

DUDE WHY DIDNT YOU FLARE!!!!!

[mitsuman95]

he did flare! those are not his fingers in the shot its the helmet

[jackmonkey26]

Quick recovery, blue skies and soft landings bro! I pitty all these pricks that think they are too good to make a mistake and want to tell you what they would have done. JUST WAIT! Even the best bounce.

[bombercat123]

lol nice song

[Eyegateproduction]

he's laughing and saying "Why?"

[Krusty1985]

sounds to me like he's in pain...

[jasonyeozhishen]

why so heartless?

[jason222]

Talk about peeing your self! :P Hope hes ight!

[ullekush]

Ouch! hope he is ok but

lol to the camera dude at the end, he just runs up to him and does nothing then goes bak>

[ryandsucks]

Damn bro, quick recovery I hope... That looked horrible. Hope you're feeling better by now..

[aWiibitcrazy]

It was going good after a while BTW The song played is called free falling right? lol so obvious

[actionmaniac287]

Tom Petty- Free falling

[Redhawk2300]

whoa dude r u ok?

[Conf1ictz]

lol

[djsilage1]

get well soon :)

[Sttucker13]

Was standing just inside the hangar when he pulled off this wonderful stunt. He sounded like a car hitting the side of the hanger when he bumped in. Had to distract the days students while the ambulance carted him out. Definitely something I'd prefer to never have to watch again.

[Catapultandclingfilm]

everyone hates that song for a skydive video...and...i hope you learned from that mistake, you might not get a chance to learn again

[01stursa]

I quite like it man

[Catapultandclingfilm]

i liked it the first time....and despised it the million times after that...and then hated it a million more times after that....

[timcoe8]

but this video only has 21,524 views.. so that would be impossible lol.

[gallop24]

get well in recovering <3

[race2patton]

A video to learn from. I was there the day this happened as a student, now I'm a licensed jumper.

Austin

[corvidcee]

far out.. that end scene was punishing to listen to.

[pnut246mxer]

Good to hear that you are ok, I was wondering what kind of canopy you were flying at the time? and wing loading?

[freeflyer4523]

Sabre 120...wingloading 1.25...they figured I hit the ground at around 40mph...walking now, slowly...

[dorbie]

Not an excessive wing loading. What happened, why did you stay in the spiral until impact?

[marka1236]

why ??? bad luck ,thats what happens when you f**k around ,no need to be tunrning so low chap, you learned the hard way i guess, never mind hope you fully recover

[WSArnold67]

Glad you are still here. Were you intending to swoop past the hanger or what? It would be nice if we could all learn a bit of what not to do. Your thoughts are appreciated.

[freeflyer4523]

Really was not planning 2 swoop, but was planning 2 come between hangers to fly by camera...final turn was a toggel turn...i came out of that turn flying at the hanger and made a rear riser turn to avoid hangar, knowing i would crash and prepared for it the best i could...obviously final turn was a little low and over objects...STUPID PILOT ERROR!!!

[dorbie]

Ahh, nevermind, I see it was a turn to avoid buildings. Bummer.

Heal well.

[leisulin]

so he didn't plan his approach well? then tried to execute a turn fairly late, and lost control of the canopy?

[dorbie]

He never lost control, he controlled it into the ground. Skydiving canopies tend to dive lose altitude rapidly in a turn.

[JMollema]

Ahh...skydiving... This is so peaceful... BAM! AHHHHH!!!!

[Nagamangos]

You jumped out of an airplane, what did you think would happen?

[chilerelleno]

JR, you dumbass! :p

If your going to fuck up, beat fuck up in a big way... Any bigger and we'd be jumping your ash dive :o

Happy to hear you survived.

This'll teach ya some respect, I know my crash-n-burn taught me.

A canopy control course/hi-po landing is in order if you get back into the sky.

cheers,

Chile

[freeflyer4523]

Thanks Chile...much respect for how hard mother earth really is...lol...lesson learned...selling hot rod parachute and upsizing...really no need to come in fast anymore, just need 2 land safe so I can jump again & again...

[everrford]

When you get rich from this video don't forget me. I like the music to. You looked so free, makes me want to try it--until the end:-)

[freeflyer4523]

I am alive...suffered broken pelvis & a broken hip socket...internally bled for 2 days until 1st surgery to repair pelvis...opened from the front...2 days later opened form the back to repair broken hip socket, 2nd surgery...received blood for 2 days to replace blood loss...3 rods & 18 screws holding me together now...10 day hospital stay...now recovering and rehabilitating...told cant walk for 3 months...we will see about that!!!

[thomas242007]

Man i want to try that wing suit thing, know of how i can go about getting lessons in wing suiting around here im in tulsa oklahoma to by the way

[freeflyer4523]

you must be a licensed jumper to receive wing suit training and usually a miminum of 500 jumps under your belt...were you get skydive training is kinda your choice...Skydive Tulsa, Skydive Airtight are local or Skydive Skyranch in Silom Springs Ark I have a good friend from local area that is an instructor there...good place & good people there!!! Just look them up on the web...Safe Blue Skies

[dorbie]

I think it's 200 jumps not 500.
