  • Dumbass. See you in the incident reports.

  • 3500 feet dumbass

  • i wonder if that was stupid...

  • Comment removed

  • that's not 30000 feet

  • @raduandreyi 3,500 ft. learn to read

  • whats so bad about this you can base jump from 200 feet big deal

  • @BallerSkier Those types of rigs take longer to deploy

  • @BallerSkier when you base jump you deploy your chute before you reach terminal velocity ...

  • @ubernate860 Not always. There are base jumps where you deploy at terminal but you put your slider down so your canopy opens slower. There is a cliff in Norway that gives you nearly 8,000 vertical (more than enough time to hit terminal). But I will agree that you do not hit terminal in a majority of BASE jumps. Also, for those who don't know, BASE rigs and skydive rigs are very different.

  • @toutsen I mean slider up sorry. If your slider is up, it prevents your canopy from opening quickly. The lower it is, the faster your canopy opens. If you are doing a jump where you hit terminal, a slider down could very seriously injure you. 

  • Man, that was a very low pull! My guess is between 800-1000ft.? Good thing you didn't have a Mal....Looked like a fun jump though.............

  • Great way to get grounded for the year. At least that is what would happen at my DZ.

  • nice altitude check at :50. total awareness. yup yup.

  • Why was it stupid??? I pull my chute closer to the ground then this atleast once a day.....

  • Yeah,you fucking deserved that shit! wow! wow! Glad ya made it!

  • all rise for the youtube anthem

  • Always the same shit song.

  • Where the fuck is AAD?

  • I love how at 0:31 you are like...."No Piss of I don't wanna play. Look down!!!!" :D

  • @emj0001 but people do need to see the realities of what can and does happen to form an accurate opinion.

  • @emj0001 You've got to be kidding.. jumping out of an airplane is stupid period. People do it for the rush. Who are you to say how dangerous someone can or can't be?

  • @TpendragonT I can tell your not a skydiver.. So I think you should keep your mouth shut because you have no idea what you are talking about or the dynamics of skydiving.. skydiving is not "stupid" however; people doing shit like this is.. And this is why emj 0001 said what he did.. Because people like you draw conclusions on topics that you clearly arn't educated on, the skydiving community has to be careful about the image they represent..

    Blue skys.. and P.S be careful brothers

  • @streeter795 you have to be retarded to think jumping out of an airplane isn't stupid.

  • @TpendragonT unless he feel that he lives his life but you probably spending most of your life with tv remote control in one hand and a beer in another... boring guy u r

  • @greg23842384 Did I say there was anything wrong with skydiving? No I didn't. The guy said this man was an idiot for doing something stupid. I simply said all skydiving is pretty stupid. That's the truth.

  • @TpendragonT Well skydiving has about the same mortality rate as driving. I have a stressful job and need some release at the weekend I meet great people have and amazing time. Before I started doing it I was killing myself with alcohol so paradoxically it's probably saved my life. So its not really that stupid.

  • @TheJimmyc1982 You can't compare skydiving and driving. Plus i'd like to see the those numbers confirmed.

  • @TpendragonT True. You always hear those stats, when I wonder if its because what 1000 people skydive per day while 100 million drive? So there will be less deaths in skydiving, as less people do it vs driving..

  • @TpendragonT Yiou could also say that MMA and other combat sports are stupid (and also the video on your profile), I don't understand the attraction to that personally, but that doesn't give me the right to call it stupid. Each to their own, variety is the spice of life and all that. Live and let live dude.

  • @meggark Oh my god. How many times have I said I meant idiotic or un-smart. You have a very warped sense of the word stupid. Nothing you could ever say will change the fact that MMA and skydiving is very stupid. The video on my channel is not an upload of mine. It's a video I favorited because the like/dislike bar is the same. I wanted to keep track of the ratings. Yes bungee jumping is stupid, yes skydiving is stupid, yes mma is stupid.

  • @TpendragonT say to my, why it is stupid? i don't see stupidity when you are living your life, doing what you want, what you like, and about being stupid, sometimes is cool to be a little stupid, live allways on the right side, have fun dude, don't think about being stupid or not, and yes it is stupid not be stupid in life....

  • @TpendragonT You are stupid for the simple fact that you don't know how to use proper grammar. "...MMA and skydiving is very stupid." You obviously don't know proper subject and verb agreement. "Is" is used for single nouns and "are" is used for multiple nouns. However, there are exceptions such as when I say "YOU ARE STUPID"!

  • @TpendragonT Yea, a lot of fun activities could be labelled "stupid" by tards like you.

  • @bjeil Stupid, as in not smart. Fucking moron.

  • @emj0001 it sows people what not to do, and in this case it teaches you to be more altitude aware

  • That is how God get the angels!

  • yes, that was stupid. I'm glad you survived to learn the lesson, let's just hope you actually learned not to jump that low again.

  • I don't even think my DZ would drop us that low unless it was like SL or something. 

    Glad you are OK but crap like this is where Skydiving turns into a sport of "luck" and not "skill."

  • that was fuckin stupid, that was fucking stuuupid. oh my god, oh my god, oh, oh my god that was dumb, oh my god never again. oh. oh my god.

  • Maybe need to learn to flare also.

  • Please never ever EVER use this song in a video again. I can't even remember when I ever liked it...

  • wow man that was close,

    its good to see you made it out of it,

    stay safe man! too many people die for stuff like that

    blue skies

  • No AAD?

  • who cares its your life we are just watching lol

  • This song sux Shwedy Ballz Hardcore!!!

  • could of sworne he aimed directly at the mud part

  • Gay song.. Instead of bodies hitting the floor, I simply hit the dislike button and moved on.

  • Flare a little for a softer landing.

  • @Hrcy007 i agree, but at least he has audio later in the vid

  • Meh, he had plenty of room.

  • why dint his AAD went off ? on that altitude?

    would love to see the reaction off the dropzone leader....

  • @nicolasowns Not everyone uses em. Never did have an AAD in mine.

  • @Freeflyer91 it's required from 2005 + ... i cant believe dropzone's dont check people's gear for safety?

  • @nicolasowns It's a requirement at that dropzone? Cos it's not everywhere.

  • OMG FEARRRR

  • Altitude awareness! I'm surprised the aad didn't activate.

  • Every skydiver should go to dropzone.com/fatalities/ and read every single recent case once a month so that they can recognize a bad idea when they see one, and learn the lessons that have been bought and paid for with human lives. Valuable info. Kudos to this guy for realizing what a bad idea this was and concluding "never again". No time for a reserve at 500, what if things went wrong? Was that jump really worth your life? With proximity I GET IT, but this jump wasn't worth the risk.

  • @maximilian333 Many sky divers jump expecting death. When their chute deploys and they live, it is a nice treat.

  • wow... the title of the video contains an admission of stupidity... yet every other comment is somebody calling the guy a retard. I think he's fully aware of that now.

    Cool video.

  • so you almost died.. under canopy at.. 500ft?

  • VERY SIMPLE It's called situational awareness. It's a primary rule of flying Very easy to loose, so carefully of what you say about others and double carefully of how you fly. What ever that may be. Blue sky's

  • Ground rush. More like grounded, cause that`s what would have happend to you here in Norway. Nice vid though ;)

  • you had a huge amount of speed under canopy - what size was it?

  • @getyaboogieon  He was probably going downwind.

  • @emj0001 Fake Skydiver staff !_!

  • Jerk!

  • Darwin failed this time, but he'll get another chance.

  • get coaching before you jump again

  • no AAD I presume?

  • great video! but next time pay few more bucks to jump from 13k :)

  • its the pilots fault for taking them up . its very obvious us skydivers are out for rushes and will go get it

  • @chris518ny nothing wrong with a hop and pop at 3500. how is the pilot to know they would try freefly?

  • @psw003 thats not freefly

  • Asshole.

    

  • i agree with tvfan777

  • Thankfully, you didn't have a mal.

  • Youre real stupid!

    1. that was no freefly, that was nothing

    2. no idea of canopy flying!

    3. and no idea of a flair at the landing

    Youre fully idiots!!!!

  • castellon ????

  • Fuck!!!!thad was very low....nice comments: that was stupi!!! Your right!!! You will do it better next time...

  • lol fuck that was low

  • how did i get here

  • Music -FAIL!

  • should have went for reserve when that low. your procedures are fucked. altitude unaware for one and pulled the wrong canopy for the altitude you were at. you a lucky bitch, that's all son.

  • lol lilfinger 00:52

  • I agree, that was fucking stupid xD

  • I gave it a thumbs up for the fact you learned quick fast and in a hurry and were willing to show the bad choice. Thanks for sharing..

  • You are very right ... that was very stupid! And that was dum! Wait ... do you mean deploying low or freeflying from 3.5kft?

  • THATS BADASS, I MEAN THATS SOME JAMES BOND SHIT RIGHT THERE!!!!!

  • get an AAD ! you dont need one, right ? get an RSL ! oh you dont need one, now do you. Thanks for posting though... maybe folks can learn what not to do.

  • @dks13827 whats an aad and an rsl? i want to learn more about every flying/falling sport... :)

  • @crashtestdummy87 AAD = automatic activation device. It will deploy your reserve below a predetermined altitude if you are above a certain vertical speed (40 mph often for students and often over 70-80 mph for experienced jumpers)

    RSL = Reserve Static Line (i think) and its purpose is to mechanically pull your reserve in the event that you cut away your main. This is merely a secondary device and proper training teaches that you go ahead and pull your reserve line as well.

  • @crashtestdummy87 rsl is a reserve static line and an aad is an automatic activation device. Google them

  • get an AAD ! you dont need one, right ? get an RSL ! oh you dont need one, now do you.

  • now theres a good reason to buy an A.D.D.

  • It's a good thing there was no snivel on opening ;-)

  • Was that power lines on the left?

  • i like ur style

  • hay q ser pelotudo eh

  • @jybtrance Learn English, spic.

  • nice flare..

  • could not have choosen worse music dude really??

  • @gummy0021 hahahaha

  • The pull was ok, plenty of room underneath. The judgment of the landing area was bad. I'd have aimed for the road instead and saved my jumpsuit from being soiled like a pig.

  • @JCrashB Go ahead and keep pulling at that altitude, first high speed malfunction and you'll be leaving in a body bag...

  • Wow. What altitude were you open at? Sub-1000?

  • Thats why people die in this sport. Pure stupidity

  • @CLayaway1 H.A.L.O. jumpers do it.

  • @CLayaway1 but they died doing something really fun...that's a win!

  • @CLayaway1 I totally agree with you on this one. Dude I want to enjoy this sport for years to come. That jump should have been a hop n pop. I sure shit would have pulled right away. Everyone please be safe and help keep our skies safe.

  • @CLayaway1 your a fuking retard

  • @fancyedits you can't spell fucking right and your calling me a retard? Ha!  go fuck yourself you retarded buttfuck

  • Comment removed

  • @CLayaway1 U need to know when its end and time to pull on right way ;)

  • Jackass.

  • @gummy0021 hahhahaha shit sorry i was so fuckin blown i didnt see ^^

  • that thing u jumped from was high as fuck man !!!!!! was that an antenna?

  • You guys are fucking stupid. I hope you stay in Ohio or wherever. Nice canopy.

    

  • yeah that was fucking stupid...

    nut FUN Thumps up from here XD !!!!!

  • If I hear this song one more time...

  • What was the altitude when you pulled?

  • Considering this video is about skydiving I would have picked a better song.

  • Its this kind of stupidity that will take your life. Not worth it buddy. bad weather, come the next day. Very lucky bro, very lucky.

  • Bet the DZ safety officer hates you, or just does'nt care anymore

  • 0:40 Holy shit so thats what it would look like falling to your death

  • thank god for the mute button

  • that was real dumb. line twists and you're gone. get a base rig

  • @saintmichaelsarmoury better than sound system...

  • Lived to jump another day......but I would have avoided the mud....hahahaha

  • get killed or die trying? jezus christ man! I mean you exit at 0:18 and deploy at 0:32 from 3,5k . Wich is relativly out of proportion with you, I dont know ,your balls or your brains....if the weather is to shit do drugs or beer or hook a hp canopy but this is just to stupid brah. Respect for putting it online tho

  • stupid, but...........NICE :D

  • Your landing pattern was ASS!!! Good way to set up you final pattern directly in front of power lines.

  • You live, you learn, awesome time what a rush

  • Hop n Pop freefly jump and your bitching about what....? that you have to walk... who cares

  • Your a pussy dude, man up....  We do that shit all the time where I jump!

    wasnt stupied, Its a Thrilll....

  • That was fucking Stupid ! :D

  • WHY? Just why? At least you realize that was (and still is) STUPID. I like skydiving so much that I try and not ruin it by killing myself. Those trees could have been quite painful or lights out for good. Did you get in trouble the the DZ for that little stunt?

  • Yepp, that WAS really stupid as you say...your DZO should suspend your jumping priveleges for awhile until you git your head outa yer ass.

  • @freemanbrook douchebag.. full of shit.. youve never even jumped, pathetic

  • I wanna jump with this guy...Sounds like a good time to me fuck all these pussies talking shit.

  • thats how larry got paralyzed out in aero park in wi

  • the stak hat will help!!

  • You should try doing it from head down next time! lol that was stupid but props!

  • lol why make shitty comment about you, if you wanna die who gives a f....

  • So much for a cypress heheh ;)

  • If you do that where I jump you'd get at least a day banned hahahaha

  • Comment removed

  • jesus at 0:26 i was already thinking "pull dude!pull"but i guess he had a little air time left :)

  • When the person doing this tells the camera, more than once, that was stupid, guess what? It probably was.

  • Of course skydive is fun, but wtf is your AAD?

  • @captainhook666 - An AAD is the Automatic Activation Device that is supposed to deploy your chute if you haven't done so by a certain altitude, normally between 750 and 1000'. It is only required on tandem and students in the United States so not everyone uses them.

  • @JCW7766 I'm a fellow skydiver by "wtf" i mean (where the f"&k is your AAD)

    Thanks for your nice answer (if i was a rookie) this is the way i'd like to get answered.

    As a skydiver, i wish they both now have an AAD !

    In Canada we need to use AAD on Solo and A licence.

    As a "C" instructor and Tandem master, i will always use an AAD.

    I wish you a good summer with lots of fun jumps !

    blue sky !

    Hook

  • You took the words right out of my mouth!! I am very glad that you had some altitude to land in that cleared area though - which had some tire tracks which appeared wet or muddy - thank God again for that. I tried to read your altimiter there when you looked at it...what did it say (right before you landed)? Probably around 250 ft maybe?? Just guessing by the distance. Was also why you checked altimeter this low!!?? Seriously.

  • that was really fantastic!!

  • Is that the Triathlon 190 for sale on dropzone.com?

  • too crazy for me if your cypres haven´t time to open your reserve it was a bad skydive

  • Almost faceplanted in the mud haha :D

  • as soon as i heard "let the bodies hit the fl-" i stopped the vid

  • @tvfan777 i simply muted it.

  • no AAD?

  • Wow that was close lol. Lucky guy.

  • damn song 

  • @freemanbrook

    Have you ever jumped with those military vets? Most of them are insane and hate the USPA. I jumped with an oldie and we had a low pull competition. That crazy fucker.

    I highly doubt someone deciding to pull low has any impact on your life.

  • @jpotter1190 Don't pay any attention to freemanbrook. He's an infamous yutube sockpuppeteer. The idiot had FOUR Humanshot channels at one point...ALL er dr's of courseHa! He also goes by AFreeManB on this video...HIV REPLICATION

    turns out that he isn't Really an Er Dr/medical student/ mountain climbing croc wrassler/ international playboy/ military expert / etc... but most likely some doucheag who was booted out of medical school in the BOTTOM 12% of the class for the telling of bizarre lies

  • @jpotter1190 See this video for more info on the infamous "Dr" Sockpuppet....KARY MULLIS CELEBRATING TH SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT

    CCR5 was his favorite favorite sock. He used use his sockpuppets to give himself applause and spam everyone he didn't like but then youtube chnged the comments format. he really doesn't like the name KEVIN KURISTKY mentioned in public. I can't imagine why.

  • lol

  • fuck this music

  • haha that was stupid. carnage

  • let the bodies hit the *boom* *boom* FLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

  • dam idiots !

  • Comment removed

  • Did he do a wave off?

  • @tsixclerk He was too busy kissing his ass goodbye! haha

  • When the people look like ants -- Pull

    When the ants look like people -- Pray

    

  • Not really freeflying...more like freeflailing. Someone with those poor freeflying skills should not be going out and trying at 3500. I mean, look at the guys altimeter, it's a freakin full size student alti2. They were pouring from the luck bucket, def not the experience bucket. I've gone out freeflying at 3500 myself, but with people who could actually freefly

  • @LesbianNaziHookers 90% of the people at my DZ use a alti2..... it is cheap, and works. Don't judge skill by money....

  • @viper19861986 Alti2 is huge, can snag handles easier than low profile altimeters, and is not really cheaper than a smaller alti if you look around. Sorry, but after 13 years of freeflying all around the country I have yet to see anyone wearing a student alti2, freefly, with any proficiency. Sure, there are maybe 1 or 2 out there doing it. Protec + Alti2 = newbie; Even though Protec is the safest helmet one can use, and the alti2 reads altitude just as good as any other altimeter.
