Adamz Az, damn straight! That instructor earned his pay and then some!

akairborne I didn’t see them cutting away, only pulling the reserve. Does it cut-away automatically?

@@adamg8101 Yes, even if you pull the reserve before opening the main.. it'll go away coz it's disconnected.. unless it remains entangled on you!

@@arctic_ita no it does not cut it away automatically. This is not a Single handle system. You can clearly see the cutaway handle in front of the camera as mainside goes to pull the reserve.

@@theginganinjaofficial You're right, I read the question upside down and i believed he was asking what about the main canopy remaining in the bag after a cut away (disconnected but inside). In this case it's dangerous because the reserve popping out may deploy the main canopy and if it's not cut away they could get entangled. However the emergency circumstances didn't gave him the time to pull the cutaway first. Sorry for the confusion.

Jason C I wouldn’t 😂 reserve side let go, lost control and left

ThatCrazyNinjaGuy there’s more to the video but she’s used it without crediting the pilots or school!..

Both instructors wearing snag hazards, reserve side let go, leaving main to go cross body and pull reserve.... yeah, good save, but what a shit show. Then again, armchair quarterbacking is easy too

@@patrickswayze2596 AFF videos are used as training aids and not required. The video is property of the instructor and they can do as they please with it. They dont have to credit the DZ or jumpers or anything.

Lawndart Productions I’m far from arm chair judging here, but if it’s an instructional video, there should be more info, or any info to be more precise about what happened, how it happened, and how it ended. The video was cut short so we don’t know how it ended apart from your very fast responding CFI managing to cut away and pull his reserve for him! I’ve been flying planes since 15, skydiving since 17, over 20 years experience with a D level licence with over 5000 BASE jumps behind me. I know this sport which is a lifestyle for me with aviation an entire lifestyle for my family and I. Something in the description would be much more helpful as a ‘training aid’, because we only see the worst of it, not how it all ended?...

Legs up in this position your flying backwards. Spend 5 mn in the wind tunnel

​@@briangilley5093listen to your instructors. What you just viewed almost never happens.

Wrong, first one tries to clear the bridle, second one holds on to the bag already out of the container and then the first one pulls the reserve.

(N00b here). Watching this, I don't understand how this entanglement doesn't happen more often? How do you throw the thingie and never hit your bent-back feet?

I couldn't fully appreciate this until you pointed it out and I slowed it down. The reaction by the instructors is phenomenal

Holy **** I just noticed that 😳 amazing

@@vampiresforesl I'm still a noob, but having read into this stuff I might be able to answer this. It's all about positioning. You can see the student moves their foot a little towards their body, so that's how the pilot chute (the thingie) gets tangled. Watch it in 0.5x speed from 0:49 on. If the student kept a good position this wasn't as likely to happen. It's a mistake probably most likely to happen with new students. With your first few freefall jumps you'll always have two instructors and nowadays they almost always have a gopro on their helmet so you can see for yourself what you did well and not so well. The instructors have done a great job here.

thanks for the explanation

Not necessarily. The student pretty much wrapped the bridal around his own leg by holding on the the PC and reaching back instead of just pitching it to the side.

​@@galt820 Pilot chute may be trow out to the rigth avoiding the bridle to be caugth by the feet. Is the container to big for her? Arch body signals the instructor may did = ✌😛 I did my AFF early 90's Blue skies!

shotgunmatt1 On my first AFF jump I experienced the same type of sensory overload. Time seemed to speed up more than my brain could keep up with. The instructors were giving me hand signals to arch, bend legs, etc... I did my practice touches but completely forgot about checking my altitude. Instructor pulled my chute and I thought something had gone wrong. Got on the ground and they told me we were at 5,000 feet. Felt like 10 seconds before he pulled it, not 35-40. I never forgot to check my altitude after that first jump.

Yeah me too. Messed up the exit, so me and my instructors where tossed around. It was like my whole brain just completely froze. When I came to it I was like.. Oh shit I got tasks to do! Managed to do them and pass though. But man, those initial seconds where crazy.

@@maximilianjohandson3382 Indeed! same experience!

Después de eso ya nada malo puede pasar

@@faiser7588 eso pensé yo!

Yeeeah!!! I 275 jumps now :D

Not to mention main side wearing a snag hazard....

gracias!!!!

jajaja un crack!

Я ученика состояние даже не представляю

es lo mejor del video!

Dónde fue el salto?

I used to wear army surplus paraboots, reasoning that I’d protect my ankles. Then somebody explained that I’d be better off wearing trainers that I could push off if ever I was entangled. I never wore boots again!

"first the container was too big for his/her body size." that's not for you to say. You can't tell just from the vid and no the gap between his back and rig isn't indicative of container too big. Second observation is really a "captain obvious" thing, every tom, dick and harry can see that. It seems the more important observations went totally over your head.

lo mejor del video Mihai jajajajajja

Gustavo Urbina A mi también me lo hicieron en mis saltos AFF y la explicación es que deben taparse con su mano al abrir tú el paracaídas porque las líneas pueden enrollarse en el casco del instructor...y entonces es cuando el alumno y el instructor lo tienen muy crudo para salir de esa situación, a menos que su casco tenga cutaway y lo pueda liberar. Un saludo ;)

just pulled the reserve! I landed with the main canopy hooked on the foot

my question

A stop action replay of the sequence shows the altimeter at 2000' when the instructor dumps the reserve. Plain and simple, they ran out of time. The instructors have to have time to deploy also.

Yah like the other guy said, no altitude, no time ... just an all out shitty situation

@Carson Hopper that big blue bag you see is probably the freebag for the reserve.

Pretty sure he ended in a quad zero due to the volumetric force of which he was traveling..

@@UnderFunded_inc ... wat

@@alexandrelevesque2581 everything ended ok... :)
