Totally absurd. The moron pulled his main cutaway handle. Then he has the balls to get on tv and complain about his instruction. Hope he doesn't go to any DZ where someone has seen this video. He will get laughed off the premises.
Yep, he's not skydiving again. After two near misses, I'd be thinking "everything comes in threes" and wouldn't tempt the Grim Reaper to go for shot three.
Im going skydiving Saturday, I probably shouldnt be watching the videos like this, lol But this one def freaked me out. Im still going though, if its my time, then its my time.
@55cjess This guy made a laundry list of stupid mistakes. You'll be going tandem with an instructor that likely has several thousand jumps. Which begs the question...if things like this happen in skydiving, how can people rack up tens of thousands of jumps without ever experiencing what this guy thinks happened to him?
This is the kind of shit that gives our sport a bad name, im sure they cut out the part where the instructors are explaing that this tard pulled his cutaway handle. they make it sound like the equipment fudged up on him. Skydiving is a relatively safe sport, with no more then 40 to 50 deaths worldwide per year, and these are almost always pros. Note to anyone thinking about jumping for the first time, dont do AFF, do a tandem so you dont have to worry about anything accept for having a blast
I have never gone skydiving in my life. Though I am sure it's fun IF YOU DO IT RIGHT. In the video, it's plain as day, the instructor tried to get him to pull the right ripcord, but he stubbornly (and foolishly-no, STUPIDLY) pulled the wrong one. And I am sure you are taught how to guide one of these things. He steered right into the powerlines. Idiot. Here was several Darwin Award attempts in a row, and he still lived? Friggin' amazing.
Yah. His parachute didn't "rip off", he pulled the cutaway handle.
"I'm never going to jump again..." <--- I wouldn't let this retard jump at my DZ.
The dropzone should ALWAYS have an RSL on the rig for students though and if he was only 1000ft from the ground he either didn't have an AAD installed and activated or it was set way too low for a student.
@CarlosFerreira0210 100% with u, all student rigs should contain RSL's or AAD. I wouldnt be surprised if it was the AAD firing instead of him pulling the reserve handle. OOOH look red lil loop ropy thinings wonder what they do - STEER ur F'in canopy!!
@goingtoeatpizza - That is a very good point, although at our DZ here is South Africa, the student AAD's are set to fire at a higher altitude then licensed skydivers. But you are making a very good point! You are probably right.
@Ziro54 student cypres units deploy around 1000 feet at a slower speed thats still too low to be filming an opening. I doubt that anyone would manualy set AAD's for students higher then that as it would be too great a chance for a 2 out or main reserve entanglement. Imagine that in court if a student dies from a main reserve entanglement by pulling a little low after the dropzone decides to manualy change fireing height above that set by the manufacturer.
@goingtoeatpizza - after reading what you said about filming in freefall I believe that you are right :) Talking about slow pulls, i gather this was AFF L1, that means pulling ur rip cord at 5500ft. that would be a very slow pull from 5500ft to whatever alt the AAD is set... but thank you for the insight :) Always good seeing it from a different view.
@TheOktob This video shouldnt turn you off skydiving because its actualy footage of skydiving equipment performing perfectly. The canopy broke free because the student pulled his cutaway handle, thats what its designed to do! His reserve opened perfectly even when he was in a poor position as its designed to and finaly the reserve flew exactly where the student directed it, straight into powerlines. No equipment malfunctioned, it operated exactly as the student directed it.
"with seconds left,scott cant find his reserve shoot opening". Sounds like he DID get training about what to do when your main cut away. Im glad this guy isnt jumping anymore. Hes dangerous!
The jumper is an idiot, HE is the one who pulled his cutaway. The chute functioned exactly as it was designed. You could see that the instructor was fighting the student when he tried to guide his hand towards the pilot chute at his HIP (the thing everyone is calling a 'ripcord'). The student stopped halfway and pulled his cutaway handle instead. The instructor then did the smart thing and released his main chute, otherwise it would have gotten tangled when the reserve finally deployed.
@Detroitbum not only can u see the instructor trying to pull his hand away from the cut away, u can see the instructor pull the handle on his hip after, for him

This spaz should write a thank you letter to the AAD(auto activating device) company that saved him from himself. Didnt anyone notice the JM on the left that immediately pulled his Ripcord?
"His freakin chute RIPS OFF!" No, he cutaway his fucking main (note the red pad is the cutaway pad), his fault because he's an idiot, he then goes on to PROVE THIS by flying his reserve into power lines.
He even bullshits about not knowing what to do if your main is cut off, that shit is drummed into you.
@BENebuchadnezzar ... I totally agreed with you and 'goingtoeatpizza'. You, goingtoeatpizza, and I are skydivers and we see things for what they are. And all evidence pointed to the fact that this Scott guy is a total fucking moron and a pathetic liar.
Just look at the reserve canopy... It is there, square, and flare. And this moron flew it right into the power lines. Unfuckinbelievable!
At 0:25 the instructor CLEARLY directed the idiot's hand to the pilot chute but the idiot opted to go for the cut away handle instead. He's a total IDIOT and he lied about everything regardless the evidence on the video. He can't even steer the canopy away from the power lines! I'm glad he's not jumping again because IDIOT like this guy gives skydiving a bad name. He almost got the Darwin Award though. What a jackass.
@Brando216 no luck involved he cutaway his own chute and flew his reserve into powerlines, the gear didnt fail it functioned exactly as directed by the operator.
@laxhitman19 they wernt. His hand was being guided by the instructor to his ripcord at his hip as you do a few practice pulls before deployment time. When it came time to deploy, scott lutz simply had a brain malfunction and stopped halfway at his cutaway handle on his chest. Scott simply lied about it for profit and this tv show dosnt do any research themselves, even if they did im sure "parachute rips off!!" sounds more extreme then "student cuts away own chute"
The instructor even PLACES his hand in the proper position but this guy goes for his cut-away anyway. Check out the instructor fighting to keep his had away from his chest.
He could just say "I messed up. Thank goodness for my instructors" and sell his story. Any lawsuit is DOA due to waivers and the video. He's just trying to save face but it ain't working.
Check at 1:14. His hand is clearly in the wrong position. That appears to be the cut-away. Then check 1:16 to see the instructor actually deploy his canopy (which is useless if it's been cut-away). This guy appears to be his own worst enemy. Why didn't he just man-up about his mistake.
fucking idiot pulled his cutaway.. cutaway is on your right chest reserve is on your left. this guy is a fraud getting a tv appearance. and he even blamed it on the instructors
Yes he clearly pulled the cutaway cord instead of throwing his main pilot chute into the wind. looks like to me he pulled the cutaway and his instructor pulled the pilot shoot.
@dennisnash84 yeah I think so too, usually the rip cord is located on the right or left sides near your butt..he pulled the cutaway cord on his chest, and it cut away just like it should..the guy was either not properly taught what rip cord to pull, was taught what one to pull and was just an idiot, or was trying to kill himself..that parachute didnt malfunction.
People like you give our sport a bad name. You did not deploy your main canopy using the method that you were taught, instead pulling your main canopy cutaway handle, then when your instructor deployed your pilot chute it went bye bye...not a malfunction, but your fault. Next thing, arching your body will fix that back to earth position, and the you should have remembered where your reserve handle is...it doesn't move. This is 100% human error, not skydiving equipment. No malfunction whatsoever.
When he chopped his main, the RSL (Reserve Static Line) would have deployed his reserve automatically. All students have RSLs. This is clearly a staged FAIL.
@wayniac917 it has nothing to do with luck, his parachute didnt fall off, he (scott lutz) disconnected it in freefall by pulling his cutaway handle instead of his ripcord. The gear functioned perfectly as directed by the operator. Scott was also debriefed about his mistake after the jump but chose to blatantly lie about it.
poor guy? i dont think so. He is nothing but a fraud.
@TheWhipprSnappr117 its simply sensory overload, he was trained on what to do and infact was doing everything right (including the practice ripcord pulls) up until the time he had to deploy and pulled his cutaway instead of his ripcord. Hes not the first or last student to mistakenly pull their cutaway, your brain does funny things under pressure.
I can't imagine what the instructor thought when he saw him pull his breakaway instead of his main. Probably "well this isn't good" The instructors did a great job.
After being electrocuted he fell to the ground and was hit by a car, then struck by lighting on a clear day, then sucked up by a tornado, which through him into outerspace, where he was later ripped apart by a black hole.
@marcuelcajon Then the tiny peices of scott were attacked by a group of Jedis with lightsabers, and the ashes floated away into an active volcano, and then his wife left him.
i had a dream last night that i was going sky-diving, something I would never do or want to do in real life... but what does it feel like when you jump out of the plane? i can't imagine... does it feel like you're constantly falling, or floating? i still don't know how you can breathe with all the air rushing by so fast!
@Wishworks Its feels like your laying on a jet of air. The feeling of falling is actualy a feeling of accelaration, since your already moving quickly on exit the difference between the planes speed and your terminal velocity is minimal and you will generaly feel like your "floating" on a jet of air. Feeling like your falling will only happen if your jumping from something stationary or slow moving and even then only untill you pick up enough airspeed to counter act the pull of gravity
The instructor should've seen the idiot cut away then pulled his reserve for him. Instead the instructor saw him pull his cutaway handle THEN deployed the main for him and of course...it "cut away". To have this happen and THEN hit power lines is just plain bad canopy flying. He's right...he will never jump again.
@katyu16 "The instructor should've seen the idiot cut away then pulled his reserve for him"
That would have been their intention. He did the correct thing by pulling his ripcord first to clear the disconnected main, the reserve side JM is then the one to pull the students reserve but was obviously unable to since the riser hang up broke him loose from both.
Not only does he pull the cutaway for a perfectly good chute, he then fails to even attempt to turn when he's headed for power lines... I tell you what was happening right there... Natural selection.
first he fucks up with his cut away handle by pulling that so his chute is disconnected already by the time it comes out, then he takes ages to pull the reserve handle endangering himself and the instructors who are frantically trying to remind him to follow his training. and then he gets object fixation and (although his reserve may be big and hard to turn) flies straight into power lines without even trying to turn. he might have been low at opening but he could have at least tried to turn!
This is why skydiving is not for everyone. If you dont know how to keep your nerve...dont even try doing this. And indeed he pulls the wrong cord...what a loser!!
Not lucky or unlucky, just stupid and a liar. He pulled the cutaway, not the reserve. Then he didn't steer his reserve--there are power lines on one side of the landing area, and if you decide not to steer away from power lines, stupid is going to hurt.
As I understand it, he is a lawyer in California, sued the dropzone and the power company, and lost both lawsuits. Gee Scott, have you figured out why you lost the lawsuits yet?
@JTC31290 You can't comment on skydiving safety based from this video. This guy might just be the single stupidest person on the face of the earth. He was neither lucky nor unlucky, he pulled the wrong cord. He pulled the cutaway cord, disconnecting his main canopy so of course it ''broke away''. Hitting the powerlines was both crappy canopy flying, and perhaps a sign from above punishing his stupidity :)
I jump a bit myself, got into the habbit after doing P Coy in the army, and i would love to slap this little prick.
'My chute malfuctioned' , no it didnt, you cut the fucking thing away, you should have died, not because you fucked up, but because your a lying little twat.
Scott lutz cutaway his own main canopy then tryed to lie about it for profit even though the evidence against him is clearly on the video. Thats why its funny.
@gonnaflynow707 judging by the recent re-release of this video with a new interview with scott it appears he took that advice and has spent the last few years sitting on a couch eating doughnuts.
@bsdanielm Luck has nothing to do with it. The guy in the video is blatantly lying about what happened.
He pulled his cutaway instead of his ripcord which disconnected his own parachute and failed to steer his reserve away from the power lines when there was nothing wrong with it.
The gear didnt have a problem; it functioned as the guy directed it to.
If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you.

@TheAE35Unit "Why didn't he just man-up about his mistake."
So he could sell his lies to this nonsense program and attempt to sue everyone he came into contact with that day.

Yes he clearly pulled the cutaway cord instead of throwing his main pilot chute into the wind. looks like to me he pulled the cutaway and his instructor pulled the pilot shoot.
dennisnash84 1 year ago
@dennisnash84 yeah I think so too, usually the rip cord is located on the right or left sides near your butt..he pulled the cutaway cord on his chest, and it cut away just like it should..the guy was either not properly taught what rip cord to pull, was taught what one to pull and was just an idiot, or was trying to kill himself..that parachute didnt malfunction.
TheMemman 1 year ago
People like you give our sport a bad name. You did not deploy your main canopy using the method that you were taught, instead pulling your main canopy cutaway handle, then when your instructor deployed your pilot chute it went bye bye...not a malfunction, but your fault. Next thing, arching your body will fix that back to earth position, and the you should have remembered where your reserve handle is...it doesn't move. This is 100% human error, not skydiving equipment. No malfunction whatsoever.

When he chopped his main, the RSL (Reserve Static Line) would have deployed his reserve automatically. All students have RSLs. This is clearly a staged FAIL.

wayniac917 1 year ago
@wayniac917 it has nothing to do with luck, his parachute didnt fall off, he (scott lutz) disconnected it in freefall by pulling his cutaway handle instead of his ripcord. The gear functioned perfectly as directed by the operator. Scott was also debriefed about his mistake after the jump but chose to blatantly lie about it.
poor guy? i dont think so. He is nothing but a fraud.

@TheWhipprSnappr117 its simply sensory overload, he was trained on what to do and infact was doing everything right (including the practice ripcord pulls) up until the time he had to deploy and pulled his cutaway instead of his ripcord. Hes not the first or last student to mistakenly pull their cutaway, your brain does funny things under pressure.

I can't imagine what the instructor thought when he saw him pull his breakaway instead of his main. Probably "well this isn't good" The instructors did a great job.

After being electrocuted he fell to the ground and was hit by a car, then struck by lighting on a clear day, then sucked up by a tornado, which through him into outerspace, where he was later ripped apart by a black hole.

i had a dream last night that i was going sky-diving, something I would never do or want to do in real life... but what does it feel like when you jump out of the plane? i can't imagine... does it feel like you're constantly falling, or floating? i still don't know how you can breathe with all the air rushing by so fast!
Wishworks 1 year ago
@Wishworks Its feels like your laying on a jet of air. The feeling of falling is actualy a feeling of accelaration, since your already moving quickly on exit the difference between the planes speed and your terminal velocity is minimal and you will generaly feel like your "floating" on a jet of air. Feeling like your falling will only happen if your jumping from something stationary or slow moving and even then only untill you pick up enough airspeed to counter act the pull of gravity

You can clearly see he pulls his cuttaway and the instructor pulls his main...Must of either lost his mind in free fall or did it for the story.

The instructor should've seen the idiot cut away then pulled his reserve for him. Instead the instructor saw him pull his cutaway handle THEN deployed the main for him and of course...it "cut away". To have this happen and THEN hit power lines is just plain bad canopy flying. He's right...he will never jump again.
katyu16 1 year ago
@katyu16 "The instructor should've seen the idiot cut away then pulled his reserve for him"
That would have been their intention. He did the correct thing by pulling his ripcord first to clear the disconnected main, the reserve side JM is then the one to pull the students reserve but was obviously unable to since the riser hang up broke him loose from both.
The instructors followed correct procedure.

His instructor should have drilled him more on the ground to to see if he had a clue what they were telling him.
micsimus 1 year ago
Not only does he pull the cutaway for a perfectly good chute, he then fails to even attempt to turn when he's headed for power lines... I tell you what was happening right there... Natural selection.
Soulculler 1 year ago 2
first he fucks up with his cut away handle by pulling that so his chute is disconnected already by the time it comes out, then he takes ages to pull the reserve handle endangering himself and the instructors who are frantically trying to remind him to follow his training. and then he gets object fixation and (although his reserve may be big and hard to turn) flies straight into power lines without even trying to turn. he might have been low at opening but he could have at least tried to turn!

100%. There was no luck involved he pulled his own cutaway handle in freefall disconnecting his main parachute.

@Xforcedt
Not lucky or unlucky, just stupid and a liar. He pulled the cutaway, not the reserve. Then he didn't steer his reserve--there are power lines on one side of the landing area, and if you decide not to steer away from power lines, stupid is going to hurt.
As I understand it, he is a lawyer in California, sued the dropzone and the power company, and lost both lawsuits. Gee Scott, have you figured out why you lost the lawsuits yet?

@JTC31290 You can't comment on skydiving safety based from this video. This guy might just be the single stupidest person on the face of the earth. He was neither lucky nor unlucky, he pulled the wrong cord. He pulled the cutaway cord, disconnecting his main canopy so of course it ''broke away''. Hitting the powerlines was both crappy canopy flying, and perhaps a sign from above punishing his stupidity :)

@bsdanielm Luck has nothing to do with it. The guy in the video is blatantly lying about what happened.
He pulled his cutaway instead of his ripcord which disconnected his own parachute and failed to steer his reserve away from the power lines when there was nothing wrong with it.
The gear didnt have a problem; it functioned as the guy directed it to.
