round reserve fired by a miscalibrated AAD at 10k feet - a jumper above went THROUGH the round reserve and left a man-sized hole in the back of the reserve (it already had steering slots). The jumper who hit the reserve was stunned by the impact but eventually opened his own main. Both jumpers landed on the DZ (one after a long reserve ride from 10k) and neither was injured.
Just to put things in perspective.
Check your hackey handle and your AAD before jumping.
unexpected chute openings arent wanted in skydiving. eg if a closing loop broke or the reserve pin pulled by accident (or gear problems) the skydiver could wrap round the plane tail or get hit by it..... the chute could hit (and definately kill) someone if deployed directly below someone else (by accident)
just a bad thing,,,which is only a result of human error....... people not checking their gear!!!!
I'm pleased to say he did not die. He had a save landing after a long canopy ride.
The reason I wrote BSBD was because someone called himself that way, like you call yourself SkyRuck. See posting below. I myself am not a BSBD type of man...
It's so easy for another skydiver to knock a handle loose (or do it yourself by moving around in the plane) that's why I "always" do a practice touch before climbing out. Glad everything turned out right.
what's the procedure when something like this happens? deploying the parachute and landing with a reserve one, or just gliding to the earth for about half an hour?
It´s good that there weren´t to many clouds on the sky. I bet that was from around 4 km. Right? The student would have had a hell of a time finding the DZ if that was the case : )
The dangers are many. If it happens on exit the lines could tangle with another jumper or the rigging could tangle with the tail on the plane. Either of these could end in disaster for the jumper himself, fellow jumpers or the pilot.
In this case he was lucky and he made a clean opening. (And I suspect a long walk back to the airfield)
A hard opening is where the canopy inflates too quickly and jerks you to a stop. It can be a bit uncomfortable. Usually poor packing.
@kos22us A premature opening is a canopy deployment way before the diver wanted it to deploy and without his/her action to do so (ie pulling the pilot chute handle). They usually occur seconds (or less) after exit.
A hard opening is when the canopy opens very very fast and the skydiver suffers a heavy shock due to high deceleration (from 55 m/s to ~10/ms in 2~3 seconds). This is usually a packing error.
@kos22us The dangers are that you will not see your landing zone on a cloudy day and once below the clouds you might find that you are far away. At best,. you will have a very long walk if nobody picks you up by car. At worst you might be forced to land in hazardous locations like forests, water, etc.

I had kinda the same thing on one of my RW coach jumps out in Spain, knocked my pin out in the door and didn't notice it... Once I got back in the plane after being shook by my coach and then saw my lines going out the door I got out pretty quick though! Only landed 4km away too, cos the uppers were honking. I like to think of it as being my first and last pop and hop, :o)
you other 2 should have pulled right away, go for some crew. hell i would have, why leave him behind? the sky dive plan was over at that point in time.
It was a pullout hanging out allready on climbnout. One of the teammates of this 4 way team tryed to catch te attention of the person, but with no succes. They were allready in the door...
I didi some sitflying with the other two, when they had recorvered from the shock. We all landed safe!
Thanks for your comment. Are you a jumper yourself?

nope you only need to cut away if you cannot land your main safely, so he had a LONG ride down, lol especially using a student chute i'm sure.
