Videos like these would be much better educational tools for upcoming jumpers and instructors if they didn't have ridiculous music dubbed over them

@Thegibolin WTF? You serious? JM never cut it. The student pulled his reserve and the opening of the reserve pulled loose the hangup. Lucky ass shit right there. Easily could have brought down the plain all because the JM wasn't prepared with a hook knife just for that right there.

Having done my freefall course with the B.A 10 years ago now my memory's a bit sketchy, but am I right that the correct drill is to give the signal that your ready to get cut free, then, get yourself in a stable position before peel-punch-pull to give your reserve 'chute a chance. I think he got fed up peel-punch-pulled while still hung up of course there was no wind resistance to break away the main chute as it had not deployed so there was no force untill his reserve deployed to pull him off.

too damn close

Looks like the reserve was deployed before the static line was cut. Lucky it was cut as the reserve deployed.

Wow, adrenalin was under control on that one. In the worst case scenarios always keep a calm mind. You gotta train yourself to stay that way for your own sake but for others as well

isn't the reserve supposed to be a solid color??

1)chi ha effettuato i controlli pre imbarco?2)dove cavolo era il coltello?3)la corretta procedura,prevede che l'allievo tenga le mani sul casco per dimostrare al DL di essere cosciente e soprattutto per NON attivare erroneamente il paracdute di emergenza:Questo,per poco non provoca la caduta dell'aereo!!!!Meglio che l'istruttore cambi mestiere...!

@joniknight By the looks of the instructors training or complacency I would guess the student was not properly trained.

@ricardod19 Any DZO worth a damn would not let him instruct a student again. 1) Unprepared for a very possible mal. situation. 2) Panic most likely because he does not practice emergency procedures dealing with dispatching students, therefore the procedure never becomes "automatic" so to speak.
