  • What exactly went wrong here?

  • Wow dude this is just like my first jump from the weekend. Check out my vid.

    Crazy how different it is not being attached to the static line huh?

  • Door exit on a student clear & pull? Oh well. My early static line jumps were from a Twin Beech 18.That was in the '70s. No step, no strut.

  • please forgive my laughing, I have seen far worse. I spent 11 years filming people & you never know what someone will do when they feel pressured on the hop & pop. I've dumpt on my back once, & flipped through the risers, jumping a canopy that was a 7 cell (serial # 666) felt so ashamed that when I landed, I was looking around waiting on a comment from anyone that may have noticed. only until we watched the video, we figured out what exactly what happened. Blue Skies...Black kevin! hahahahaha

  • try it from a dc3, you merely barrel rolled. I got rocked back on exit & had to.... legs out hard to right myself.... looks like you simply didn't raise your left arm over your head as you went to pull. stand facing a wall, feet 3 feet from it...lean agaisnt said wall, and with both hands, now remove one. without centering you wind up twisting either direction. best part is that ya got something out fast, & it was a quick pull. but.... unstable.  you lived!

  • Looks like he had freaked when he pulled the primary chute and it was underneath him due to an unstable exit. "Hop & pop" can be scary firsts. Thx for sharing this. The cut-away is at 0:29

  • he never cut away

  • 1..2.. hop... aah, let's pull...

    Oh no, oops, let's use that arm to make some corrections first...

    oh-oh naah.. f**k those corrections, let's pull anyway..

    :)

  • ehm, it's more like a cute  away

  • lmao, on another vid i said i wanted to go skydiving. after seeing how far away the ground is from the camera, i dont think i wanna do it anymore. highs dont bug me, but falling an extreme distance does HAHA
