Tree + water landing

A very lucky outcome from a bad overshoot.

First tree landing and first water landing in the same jump. Great karma made sure that only a tree had to die - jumper and equipment was totally unharmed.

Equipment: Crossfire2 119 (had about 20 jumps on it)

was that a tail wind landing?

@k1ng401 It was more or less no-wind conditions.

At 0:20 seconds you could've used a breaked approach to stop your forward movement for a short while and then set up your landing. Looking at the terrain I have to say the landing area is very small. It's great you weren't hurt. Nice aim between the trees.!!

@katyu16 Yeah - using harness turns to try to get down was not a good idea, some toggle turns and breaks would probably be better. After I landed the main landing area was moved to a field which is slightly longer and a bit more narrow.

That is CRAZY. Did you your lines/canopy hit the trees, or did you really pull that off and turn into the water?

[algeflix]

@bqmassey: lines hit the tree, and the tree swung me around into the water while breaking. good stuff.

That looked, painful.

I know a guy who gives very good canopy control courses if you're interested lol.

Der var det litt uflaks først og deretter ganske mye flaks på en gang.
