on my 960th skydive (24 Feb 07) I had my 2nd malfunction. It is a packing error that should have been fixed during the packing process. I did not pack this main parachute. The malfunction is known as a step through. At the end of the video you can see the reserve bridal hit my hand. I saw it coming passed my face and tried to keep it away from my helmet. My hand was actually forced into my face a I had a small bruise on the bridge of my nose. This whole event took place from 3500ft (the first set of beeps)agl to 2500ft(2nd set of beeps) agl in 12 seconds.

  • Hey this is skydive mesquite right? I jumped there a few times, you can check out my 2 skydiving videos on my channel.

  • @molinafootball Yep. Mesquite. I have about 1100 jumps there. Love that DZ. Nice job on your fist jump(watched the video). Was that Shawn Filming?

  • @JTVal27 It is a pretty sweet DZ. Shawn was filming my first jump with the pink shoes, and dallace filmed my first tandem. I heard a little bit about you from the DZ and from westmoreland.

  • @molinafootball Huh? MSgt Blair Westmoreland? How do you know him?

  • @JTVal27 ya MSgt Westmoreland, he was my recruiter in Vegas. The last time I went on RAP I told him I was going skydiving at skydive mesquite and thats when he said you used to jump there.

  • @molinafootball Crazy!

  • My bad bro; I see now you chopped it :-) and your reserve had line twists, the orange main and orang reserve is what had me jacked up.... I have rode a step though down (cause I pulled at 2250) but it wasn't fun....and guys, the packers don't do this shit on purpose....they just need better training, I had a bad lock from one, and had to chop too...Reserve opened so hard it knocked of my go pro!

  • @justinjmccorkle WTF did you watch?

  • @jimmyfly85 it is most likely you handed the rig to the packer with a step through. At the end of the day, your life is your responsibility. Granted, it should of been caught in a continuity check.

  • I Just had a step through myself yesterday!!

    From a shit packer! Selfish fuckers

  • Do your own laundry.

    And go kick that A hole's ass.

  • Santa la maria che troiaio ! Ma chi te l'ha ripiegato il principale, la filippina?
