This is what you don't want to do when preparing for your first solo skydive landing. You need to use the breaks. Don't use the landing field to stop yourself.

  • didnt flare? going with the wind?both lol?

  • Not a bad landing compared to my first solo landing. I landed off the dropzone onto the road leading up to the DZ, it was either run into the back of the hanger and mave a low right turn to land on the road, I chose the road. A little road rash fro ma hard PLF on my leg and ankle but all is good and I am ready to jump again next week.

  • @Madmachinist26 Don't feel bad buddy...as long as you didn't get hurt. I'm something of a "PLF King" at my dropzone.....up until last Thursday's jump if I felt I couldn't just "step down" to Earth I'd PLF....I've FINALLY shown myself I can run off excess speed and not do a face plant. I have 22 solos BTW.

  • I just did something similar this weekend. Luckily I hobbled away with a sever right ankle strain....I'll be out for a few weeks recovering

  • stait in LOL!!! hope you where fine? now do that with a 120sq/ft:-)

  • I flared too soon and broke my ankle. Sucks.

  • @Madmachinist26

    what size canopy were you on?and what size did you up size too.??

  • OOO! I know that hurt. Did the same thing during my first landing.
