  • @ArmyAvengencePball They teach to leave equipment on if you are heading for a tree landing so that it helps protect your body from the tree limbs on impact.

  • @ArmyAvengencePball And you can climb down your equipment from the tree etc

  • @ArmyAvengencePball Well, since you just went through and they trained you not to jettison gear, (and I have a tendency to forget after going through Jump school in 94) I'd say we weren't trained differently. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd still leave the choice to myself IF I can see what I'm going to land in/on during a daylight jump. A judgment call I guess. Of course, night jumps you're generally screwed as you should have already dropped your ruck right quick to begin with.

  • @rangerstubbs76 I just got back from US Army Airborne school this past summer; they taught us to not jettison our gear if we were going to make a tree landing. Like you said, we were probably just trained differently, but I just thought Id chime in with a pretty recent experience. Like Papabare100 said, the idea is that the ruck will keep you from getting speared and clear a path through the branches.

  • @danboone143 Long as they're not doing a LAPES drop, you should be fine. Still funny though.

  • @TheManfromNibiru Peal right? How about "slip" right instead? For someone who talks a big game and apparently graduated jump school, you didn't even know the right term for a simple manuever. Night jumps aren't as bad either, I had more mishaps and close calls on routine daytime jumps than I ever did at night. No $50.00 jump pay for you.

  • Air America!

  • E uma barbeirajem pior que a outra .....ea conta vai para o contribuinte Enão pensem que aqui no Brazil e diferente

  • dont tell me this is all one jump? lol
