It's a very unique feeling when this happens. Happened to me once. Only mine was a loose pin. Pin came out everything else was following except the pilot chute which was still tucked away in my ROL pouch. Good thing I didn't have a BOC at that time. The resulting horse shoe malfunction may have been harder to clear than it was with the ROL. As it was I just pulled the pilot chute and let it go and found myself under a good main at 7k. New problem was another pass jumping out overhead. SPIRAL!!!!
I thought the team did a great job, all things considered! I'm sure there was lots of dirt dive practice time leading up to the jump. Glad to hear that everyone walked away to tell the tale another day! : )
Here's a thought: Ditch the R.O.L. pilot chute. ... (It's 2011) - You're lucky as hell that you haven't killed anybody (including yourself) up to now...
Here's a thought, read the video description before making misdirected comments.
I don't jump with a leg mount but they fell out of fashion for killing the wearer due to misrouting from inattentive packing not killing others.
Of course BOCs are not without their own issues and have caused fatalities due to hard pulls etc. So absolutist proclamations like yours misguided in addition to being misdirected.
In 30 years fools will be calling our gear death traps.
@gregg6749 BOCs aren't necessarily better. I know several jumpers who have had shoulder injuries in the past and wouldn't be able to reach back to deploy on a BOC system. They get them changed to ROL so they are still able to skydive, not having to worry about not being able to reach their deployment handle. All deployment systems have pros and cons, and though BOCs are very popular, they do not work for everyone.
IT WASN'T PREMATURED!!! I figured it out. Look carefully at 0:50. The guy in the green was reaching for his leg when he accidentally pulled the rip cord!!
@vincesabin Also bud, it's not a rip cord :) It's a Pilot Chute attached to a bridle. I'd take the word of the gentleman who posted this video as he's an experienced jumper.
look's like three poeple didn't see the deployment, didn't look like they had to grab his grip's there after... I wonder if when they landed they gaive a high five nice dive and said woo hoo nice....but who the fuc is that clown in the ionsosphere :)
@nabazari The cameraman intentionally does not fly above the formation for this and other reasons. It is considered an unsafe place to be. He was not lucky, his training & experience averted disaster.
@Eyrex95 Well it wasn't deliberate :-). A premature in formation at 10k is worthy of review and someone docking on your leg mounted pilot chute is potentially serious.
@BlackOpsAid it's not dangerous in that sense. The real danger comes when there is someone above the person that has the premature deployment, and the two jumpers collide. This impact can, in fact, be fatal. Other than that, it makes for a very long ride down.
I am calling shenanigans on the guy in the green and yellow. I think he pulled his friend's pilot chute on purporse. LOL. Not a good idea anytime and certainly not at 10 grand. My friend did that to me, BOC not leg mount, and my Stiletto decided to spin up nicely. Luckily, kicked out of it else I would have presented the repack bill to him.
Skydiving is like free running, you don't only do it so u can enjoy the world at a whole different way. Jumping out of a plane is just awesome, feeling the freedom. Too bad i didn't do it yet D:
hey, no its not bad at all. There's actually a lot of fun pulling high, and make a cross country jump. It needs to be planned though because the winds vary on different altitude levels. So it needs to be briefed with the dz manifest, pilot etc..
that was fucin funny how the dude grabbed the other dudes parachute..the dude with the opened para was like wat the fuck...omg i can fly then he relizes his para deployed and then goes..darn i could almost fly
I made a thousand jumps with a throw out pilot. never had THAT happen. Course wasn't the fault of the guy who got pulled, was a bad grip. Totally understandable yet deadly blunder. Watch what you grabbin' in freefall!
Not longer than a couple minutes. Sure it was probably a long canopy ride, but there are techniques you can use to speed up your descent with an open canopy- e.g. constant turning in one direction or the other.
@mikebasejumps Not heard that one. They used to be what everyone jumped. The main argument against them that I've heard is misrouting of the bridle causing fatalities back in the day.
Thanks for your reply Dorbie......I just feel that anything near a gripper area is a bad idea. Although we should be looking at what we are gripping, when things speed up, looking at everything can become second to getting the next point. I can also see how a mis-routed bridle could cause a PC in tow or worse. See you at the exit point. Mike
Mike is right. They should not even exist anymore. Everyone used to jump rounds too but as the gear and technology gets better people move forward with it and usually for good reason.
P.S. and skydiving is about freedom. People who run around telling others what they shouldn't be allowed to do in skydiving to an excessive degree, especially in things that used to be standard practice miss the point, makes me wonder if they shouldn't be allowed to jump out of airplanes for completely missing the point.
Hell, it wasn't even a premature deployment of the chute... If ya look closely the guy in the green pulls that guys main and causes the pilot to come out and deploy his chute. Looked more like a prank on a friend than anything lol
It doesn't say fatality, there was an accident and if you could be bothered to understand what happened you'd see that from the description and the video. If you're on here looking for fatalities then to hell with you moron.
i've badly wanted to do this for 5 years but never had brave/rich enough friends to go do it with me
how long does it take/much does it cost to get good enough to jump on your own, and when something goes wrong and you cut away at the primary shoot, how easy it that to do? are they designed for easy cutting or is it like rambo style improvisation?
how often do things go wrong enough to need to cut your primary?
About $2000 will get you through AFF and ready to jump solo, but before then you'll have a lot of fun jumping with your own parachute accompanied by instructors and flying your canopy solo.
After that you need to get your own gear and get more signoffs, about $4000 for gear and possibly quite a bit more in training, or not depending on how it's done, maybe up to $2000 in additional training.
Here's a hint: always make sure your volumes at 0 to 20 before you watch a video, or else your ear drums could get damaged due to the very loud sounds!
Unlucky dipping out on the big way. A few points about the canopy ride, it would last a few minutes depending on the parachute type, size and how it was being flown, i.e turning, diving etc etc. I reckon he/she didn't waste much time getting down to find out what happened to cause the deployment and get some pay back.
Freefall lasts about a minute depending on exit altitude and deployment altitude. You can see in this video we exit at about 22 seconds into the video and the cameraman starts to deploy at about one minute and 22 seconds into the video
I'm put off from sky diving. The day before I was going to do it in Namibia, Swakopmund, a member of another overland tour company died whilst doing a tandem jump, as did the instructor.
There are hundreds of thousands of tandem jumps made every year. Do hundreds of thousands of anything and someone is going to have a bad outcome sooner or later. It's not a fairground ride but it is not as dangerous as your instincts tell you it is and your instincts will be talking to you loud and clear in the plane, that's why it's thrilling yet fun.
You're not just pointing out what happens in reality, you're giving an annecdote that amplifies the risk. People understand what's at stake skydiving, that's the point. In reality hundreds of thousands of tandem jumpers land each year with a big smile on their face. I do not accept your claim about bungee jumping, there's no regulation of that sport and plenty of incidents with people not hooked up or ropes to long. Conclusions require statistical analysis of real data.
Just stating a fact that the member of the group I was referring to did not have a big smile on their face afterwards! The bungee jump remark was my opinion. Rarely does the guy at the top tie the rope too loose, occasionally yes. I'm just saying that there have been lots of instances where one of the parachutes doesn't open, but luckily the second one will. You can understand why some people dont want to take that risk. As for the video, good work.You are obviously a lot braver than me.
The second 'reserve' parachute completely alters the risk. It's not a matter of luck. It is packed under FAA rules by an FAA certified rigger. The is a main and is not packed with the same official scrutiny. Moreover, to arrive at the probability a double event you multiply. You don't seem to understand why having a reserve makes skydiving safer, it does not make it twice as safe it makes almost a thousand times safer due to the way failure probability works.
Skydiving isn't for everyone, and neither is bungee jumping. I've tried both (tandem for the skydiving) with really professional outfits and personally prefer skydiving. The instructors I've talked to all consider bungee more dangerous, probably b/c they have less control. Also, I've no statistics to back it up, but I've found it much more difficult to find legal, professional bungee ops than skydiving ops. Regulations of the sport is a huge plus.
exactly dorbie. i'd say don't waste your breath but it's good for others to realise that actually bungee is probably more dangerous - if things go wrong there's no chance of fixing it, at least in freefall you have a minute or two and the extra chute. bungee is probaby more akin to BASE than skydiving.
minor injuries are also important - they happen far more regulary than serious ones, and can cause real damage. with bungee, there are common (& less so) injuries that don't happen so often in skydiving; eye trauma/ retinal haemorrage (which can result in permanent loss of vision), spinal damage, even uterine prolapse has occurred in females. still trying to find some definitive data, but there does seem to be some consensus that you are more likely to get injured doing a bungee than a tandem.

I'm sure it is fun! I'm just pointing out what happens in reality and some of the unfortunate outcomes. Bungee jumps are a lot safer than skydiving.

You're not just pointing out what happens in reality, you're giving an annecdote that amplifies the risk. People understand what's at stake skydiving, that's the point. In reality hundreds of thousands of tandem jumpers land each year with a big smile on their face. I do not accept your claim about bungee jumping, there's no regulation of that sport and plenty of incidents with people not hooked up or ropes to long. Conclusions require statistical analysis of real data.

Just stating a fact that the member of the group I was referring to did not have a big smile on their face afterwards! The bungee jump remark was my opinion. Rarely does the guy at the top tie the rope too loose, occasionally yes. I'm just saying that there have been lots of instances where one of the parachutes doesn't open, but luckily the second one will. You can understand why some people dont want to take that risk. As for the video, good work.You are obviously a lot braver than me.

The second 'reserve' parachute completely alters the risk. It's not a matter of luck. It is packed under FAA rules by an FAA certified rigger. The is a main and is not packed with the same official scrutiny. Moreover, to arrive at the probability a double event you multiply. You don't seem to understand why having a reserve makes skydiving safer, it does not make it twice as safe it makes almost a thousand times safer due to the way failure probability works.

Skydiving isn't for everyone, and neither is bungee jumping. I've tried both (tandem for the skydiving) with really professional outfits and personally prefer skydiving. The instructors I've talked to all consider bungee more dangerous, probably b/c they have less control. Also, I've no statistics to back it up, but I've found it much more difficult to find legal, professional bungee ops than skydiving ops. Regulations of the sport is a huge plus.

exactly dorbie. i'd say don't waste your breath but it's good for others to realise that actually bungee is probably more dangerous - if things go wrong there's no chance of fixing it, at least in freefall you have a minute or two and the extra chute. bungee is probaby more akin to BASE than skydiving.

minor injuries are also important - they happen far more regulary than serious ones, and can cause real damage. with bungee, there are common (& less so) injuries that don't happen so often in skydiving; eye trauma/ retinal haemorrage (which can result in permanent loss of vision), spinal damage, even uterine prolapse has occurred in females. still trying to find some definitive data, but there does seem to be some consensus that you are more likely to get injured doing a bungee than a tandem.

Yes but nobody can hear you. It's just a massive rush or air like a hurricane so you can't hear anything anyone says.
