CYPRES save, Tandem Video by Marcus "mico" Ribeiro

[LukesNewLife]

WHAT THE!! How did he forget??

[LozzaTurbo]

Tandem Master, your a looser!

[mattryan13]

Loose side connectors, she gets both her legs to one side of his. He went for drogue 4 times as far as I can see and got fixated.

[braden252]

at least that camera guy got a nice head down jump out of the deal.

[cihnomis]

i was 18,000:)

[ephamilton]

the vidiots an idiot for staying with him down to tandem cypress fire

[3habaneros]

@ephamilton why do you say that ?

[korbentaz]

@ephamilton that what I was thinking.... geez dedicated for that shot... or the 150 bucks he might get for the video...... wonder if he had an audible

[pulsejet1]

@korbentaz CYPRES fires @ 1900 ft - videographers main deploys 2 sec later which would put him around 1500-1600 ft. Low, but not crazy dirty low as long as he's aware. I would've done the same, I have done the same. Not the best practice to do a lot of but hopefully they are better at pulling handles than the TI. The fact that they had a main out shows they were on this jump.

[subacute]

@ephamilton Minimum deployment altitude for C and D license holders are 2,000 feet. Cypres TANDEM activation altitude 1,900 feet. The video flyer did not go all that low now did he?

[specialkaye87]

@subacute they changed C-license to 2,500. I just got my c-license yesterday. My examiner for my coach rating says he had a guy doing the AFFI course who tracked all the way to cypress fire after the examiner took him down to 1,700ft (playing the student).

[openingshok]

Killer job on the camera flyers part. I shot a similar scenario last sumer and that tandem was GONE!!!

[IIOMarcOII]

Look at his face before he jumped out of the plane crazy guy -.-

[LesbianNaziHookers]

I know of two other non-drogue deployments. 1 was another cypress fire, and the other emergency procedures were executed and reserve deployed before cypress cut the reserve loop.

[LesbianNaziHookers]

Hey, I think I know that TI, and I also recognize that skyvan. He's no longer doing tandems.

[tsixclerk]

The student should be allowed to knee the TI in the nads with the some force she got jerked by in that opening.

[keeponwishin]

I'm not a tandem master or anything, but doesn't the drouge need to be out to deploy the main parachute? Like a pilot chute?

[LLAGor1lla]

@keeponwishin On a tandem rig, yes

[spetzreborn]

@keeponwishin yes.

[thesolo]

Where the hell was his drogue?!

[evilkalla]

Looks like he attempted to pull, but since there was no drogue out ...

[freeflyer84]

Pleaseeeeee tell me his rating was pulled.

[jamester28]

Search "instructor makes serious mistake" and it'll come up.

[SomeGuy7898]

@jamester28 Thats the same TI?

[jamester28]

That's almost as bad as the video I saw where the TI forgot to hook the upper attachment points on the student's harness. I forget the name of the video but you see them split apart at the shoulders on exit but they recover and get hooked up. Scary stuff.

[ruledbyzeppelin]

that camera man did fuckin well to keep up with them! I seriously hope this TM no longer has his rating.

[bouncingsouls11]

How stupid and irresponsible is that instructor. You are supposed to have the drogue out within seconds after exiting with tandem. I would never trust that instructor.

[dropzonesoest]

aber der Kamera-mann hat ma echt Eier in der Hose

[nutellaontoast]

A terminal, drogueless tandem reserve deployment. That must've been damn uncomfortable. I hope this TI is not a TI anymore.

[PlayaFishi]

@paulomsilva with that type of knowledge you wouldnt be allowed to jump at my dropzone nor would I want to put my life in your hands if thats how you think a tandem jump should be.

[paulomsilva]

@PlayaFishi Of Course! There are some DZ where is not safe to jump. Maybe your's is one of that!!

[paulomsilva]

@PlayaFishi @PlayaFishi Of Course! There are some DZ where is not safe to jump. Maybe your's is one of that!! What I said, is (for example) on the SIGMA Tandem Manual from UPT, ot ATOM Tandem from Parachutes de France. You also can find it on the USPA manuals. You must read correctly what is writed there.

[paulomsilva]

@SkydivinryanHas a tandem examinater from some tandem makers, I'm telling that in a situation of un eventual jump where the freefal is done in terminal speed, the time needed to get the right speed on opening must be 10 sec before opening, that is something around 1600 ft above opening altitude.

[paulomsilva]

For un easy understand, we stabilish 2000 ft above opening altitude; so, if you want to do freefal in terminal speed with a tandem (without drogue), and opening at 5000 ft, it means that at least at 7000 ft you must pull the drogue.

[paulomsilva]

@Skydivinryan That what I teach in the 20 years I have as tandem Examinater, in my aroun 3000 jumps as tandem master. When you don't understand what people say, please ask un explanation; don't insulte them. Regards. Paulo Moreira da Silva

[xloptuny]

God that was a messed up tandem, what were her legs and arms doing the whole time. And they were jumping from a heck of a plane, this can't be some amateur outfit. wtf

[DarkDesigner616]

What kind of instructor was that? I mean jesus, if you're cameraman is in a head down position, and he stays that way the entire jump, you should be thinking about why he's doing that..

[paulomsilva]

Tandem Masters must deploy drog around 2000 ft above opening altitude

[Skydivinryan]

@paulomsilva drog is deployed as soon as possible not 2000 feet above done comment with bulshit answers

[paulomsilva]

@Skydivinryan keep on low profile when you don't understand what people said. Don't use insulte to reenforce a poit of vue

[3676chris]

wtf? what happened to the brake pilot?

[mchamp3802]

Tandem must of been under canopy at around 1600ft....bloody low

Must of been one hell of a ride/opening

[skyjumper77]

When your video guy is head down and still can't keep up, the wheels should start turning. My guess is that this is not the first time this has happened.

[texNoz]

@skyjumper77

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking mate!! How can you not realise something's wrong when your vidiot is is ass up in a screamer and still can't keep up. I think a piss test would be in order.

[NYJerry13]

Wow that had to hurt

[MrKwantos]

Yea... First thing I thought was: "that's gonna be a holy hard opening! "
