  • gear checks!

  • 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.

  • What a bell end!

  • @ironeyex

    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!!!!

  • @ironeyex The wind can be brutal at that altitude

  • Premature opening > Premature ejaculation

  • Hi SkyRuck

    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...

  • @skydiveduck

    Why do you write BSBD (Blue Skies Black Death), did he die? If so I'm sorry..

  • Ah ha ha ha....that's funny. One Man Canopy Relative work.

  • 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.

    Blue Skyz !!

  • I hope he will find his way to the LZ. But he will get a nice long way down.

  • Bet that messed up your formation planning.....LOL.

  • nothing like a 45 minuet canopy ride.

  • @ShakyBones797 LOL LOL

  • How long was the float down after that hahahaha........

  • that would have been a log float down

  • 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?

  • May as well have been a static line

  • 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 : )

  • That's a piss poor joke to play on someone. At least now you check before you jump!

  • haha did he land in a different country? :P

  • very lucky

  • what are the dangers of a premature opening ? and can anyone tell me what a "hard opening" is and why it occurs thank you

  • @kos22us

    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.

  • man! thats a long way down!!

  • 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.

  • wouldn't he have to cut, and use his reserve after the proper freefall? otherwise he could be blown WAY off course.

  • LOLZ

  • oh man that is such a waiste of freefall time, oh well, yea for sure 13k hop'n pop lol

  • well, he got his hop & pop out the way.

  • Must have been a boring ass ride down, lol

  • maybe he will just study the cloudes for a few hours :)

  • 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)

  • I've now put the vid up on here for the first time... Name is 13k pop and hop, tags are skydiving, premature, deployment.

  • He probably wishes he brought a newspaper with him.

  • Long boring trip down to earth... ;-)

  • was that supposed to be an AFF?

  • no just an rw jump

  • thats a loooong ride down hahaha

  • lucky he was exiting last

  • he woulda been ok even he was exiting first

  • highest hop 'n' pop iv ever seen!

  • lol. im used to super low hop 'n' pops. it must have been a pretty lonesome ride down.

  • wow he took the stairs. not the elivator! lol how did tht hapened, did he pull erly? dosnt look like it to me!

  • the pilot shoot was out in the aircraft - lucky he didn't getl pulled along

  • 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.

  • been there, got the t-shirt! Except my premature opening was with a very prehistoric rig.

    Word to the wise, watch your gear!

  • hahah i wonder how long that took

  • maybe they cut away. if they did Im sure they never saw their main parachute ever again LoL

  • HAHAHAHAHA

  • bet that was annoying

  • geweldige! flimpjes:)

  • I wonder if he fell asleep waiting for landing. How long did his flight last?

  • finally someone who listens to some decent music! go kraftwerk!!

  • I bet everyone's eyes were flippin' WIDE OPEN!

    Heck, cutaway and get back into it and pull your reserve with everyone else...

    Blue Skies!

  • Yep, that's a cool idea! Why didn't we think of that... ;-)

  • @skydiveduck probably something else on ur mind like, what the heck???

    lol

  • @carpetfactory HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • damn i bet that was one hell of a long canpy ride.

    glad to hear you were all safe, lucky that pilot chute didnt get the tail of teh plane.

  • That's what I was thinking. It looked close as all get the fuck out.

  • Hi BSBD

    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?

    ciao, Fonsz

  • talk abaut bad luck

  • Looks like the pullout caught on the door?

    How did the 2-way go? :)
