Scary AFF Skydive

4TH OR 5TH Jump ever. Went totaly out of control and couldnt get back into an arch. Tried several times. Way too much seperation from instructor who was head down trying to catch me. I fall like an anvil. Deployed on my back at some silly altitude. The instructor was at 3500 when I deployed so you can guess what height I was at. Scared the crap out of myself. But thanks to 2 excellent instructors T and T i managed to achieve my A licence. Thanks guys!Have now achieved my B Licence and am loving it. So if you are a crap student like me just persevere ARCH and RELAX.

That is so horrible, it has to be staged.

[irishmike1999]

holy shit that would've been terrifying. Bloody good work getting back up there and finishing off the course after an incident like that!!! Which DZ was this?

Jumps in this video are fucking epic! The man is fearless. Can I request that you make a webcam video on your thoughts going through the stages of your AFF please?

Hey that was no worse then me at the same stage as my AFF, on my level 3 i did some 15 x 360 degree turns my instructor couldn't stop me either. You need to get back in to it mate as soon as poss. Even it that means jumping at the Geese!

The rocking got me at first and makes you want to kick like hell. I learned early the arch is the only way out and no matter which way your flipping just relax, stick your junk out and its smooths itself if your not over compensating constantly. hoping the weather will be good to do 7 cause doing my first front and back flips was the best feeling ever!

C.A.R.T. my instructor told me i will never forget. Counter Arch Relax.... and Toe Taps. Blue Skies dude

I am going through AFF now and my last jump, level 3, went bad. scared the crap out of me. Going to practice in a wind tunnel before my next jump. Thanks for the encouragement to continue. I have definitely thought about quitting, but am going to hang in there. Can't imagine doing a back flip. I need to remember to arch and relax!
