My AFF level 7 jump with malfunction and hard opening
Loading...
Uploaded by MrChaos39073 on Nov 26, 2009
This is my AFF Level 7 jump. Started good but things went very wrong at the end. Brake came out, then very hard opening. Ruptured a disk in my neck. A very good surgen removed the disk and screwed the vertebra together. 3 months of misery after this jump. I'm a little worse for the wear and tare. but I'm still jumping. Skydiving is awesome.

1. It was a very bad pack job, your right brake wasn´t fixed.
2. No good reaction by the instructor and videoman. In the moment they see the braketoggle over you, the have you to stabilize during the opening.

why so many aff levels?

@ullekush And I'm not really sure what your objection to the TV argument is. Most of the time they won't reach it. If they are going to reach TV, then they obviously have enough altitude that it's not critical that their chute open instantaneously.

@ullekush BASE jumpers don't typically reach terminal velocity, so their deceleration isn't as rapid.

First solo sky dive almost goes terribly wrong.by Siderman134,514 views
Mr. digitalkicks, I don't know if this is the info your looking for but here goes..The hard opening ruptured/herniated the disc between C6 & C7 in my neck. The ruptured material pressed against the nerves in my spine that caused severe pain in my arms and upper body. Surgery was performed by a Neurosurgeon. They removed the damaged dics and replaced it with cadaver bone with a metal plate and screws to hold the two disc together. It was a overnight stay in the hospital. 16 wk in a neck brace.

Hi Mr Chaos!
I have a prolapsed disc in my neck, and the op you had sounds like a possibilty for long-term releif of this pain i've had for nearly a year now..If you can give me any info on this please, i'd really appreciate it. thanks.

@digitalkicks ..cont..The surgery was a success. Completely recovered and pain free. Back skydiving again. However I have a broken wrist now. Suggest you find a good Neurosurgeon and BLUE SKIES

why did you have a hard opening, just because brake came out ?
drumatic86 2 years ago
@drumatic86 I am not sure of the exact cause of the hard opening, but probably 1 or a combination of the following. 1: The main parashute was a Sabre 1 which is know to sometimes open hard. 2: Brake not stowed properly and/or bad pack job. 3: It was just not my day.
