I remember my first HALO jump in 1992. It was the most amazing thing I ever did. The world so so beautiful when you are jumping at 34K ft. The air rushing past your ears is silent because you are just awestruck by the view. I didn't want it to end. Everytime I've made one since then it is just like the first. You can't fully appreciate the view from a video. It isn't scary at all when you are that high. I recommend doing it if you ever have the chance.
@@christiany.m.3604 usually it's around 1 in 1000 for your primary parachute to malfunction. But even if it fails you have a secondary. Secondary's will almost never fail because they are packed by qualified parachute riggers
The Himalayans in general are at such a high elevation technically its only 12300 feet from the base of mount Everest not 30000 but yes it is 30000 feet above sea level
I was in the 82nd 1966, 1967. The brass would put on shows of our equipment for foreign dignitaries, part of the display was a HALO drop. You would hear the operation over the loud speakers as it unfolded. Then all at once the soud of thunder as the parachutes opened above and the small force would be on the ground right in front of the stands. That's how to sell your power.
I remember doing those (show of force) jumps. Although, they were static line jumps, but still fun. The nighttime mass tac jumps were always awesome to see all of the AF planes in the sky at once.

My respects Sir. Thank you for this awesome video. Do an old B license and just a single hundred jumps are enough to be allowed to jump at this altitude? Do you breathe "internal" from the departure of the aircraft or over 15 kft? Thank you Sir. Skydive safe and for ever. Respectfuly
We had to prebreath O2 for about 20-30 minutes before we took off. I know it was a long time as I was bloody melting in my layers and soaking in sweat even though it was about 7am.
Not from 30,000, this jump was from 28,000', I know as I was the pilot, the owner of the aircraft, and the owner of the drop zone where the jump occurred.
@@stevebritt7369 I'm the guy in the video and I'm sure my alti showed that. I could've been hypoxic I guess but I'm not really bothered if it was or it wasn't. I'm not claiming anything. The guy who edited this for me did all the titles. Have you done one? You should try it.
I always thought the low opening in a HALO jump was really low to get under radar etc. It still seems like you're really high up when you open the chute.
I wasn't trying to avoid radar so I pulled at about 4k. You could pull lower but if you have a mal you want to give yourself a bigger safety margin. I travelled from the UK to do one jump! Bucket list ticked off
I did that (not a high altitude jump, however) you can barely hear yourself scream, the wind drowns it out. But it is so so so so so fun. I got the adrenaline dump from the initial drop, like a roller coaster, but after, during free fall, to me, it felt more like floating rather than falling. It was actually peaceful. You are high up enough that the ground isn't rushing up at you and you are just in the air. And, you have already made that choice to jump out of a plane, so your fate is what is shall be. I loved every thing about it. Done it twice. When I can go back home, I am doing it again, for sure.
When the chute opens it’s maximum rate of descent is 8 ft per second, which is almost nothing. Regular airborne’s newest chutes are like 18 ft per second and they land soft as hell, most of the time
120mph is about the terminal velocity of a solo jumper in freefall in a belly-to-earth position. That's the point at which any further potential acceleration is cancelled out by the effect of air resistance. However, it's complicated slightly by the density of the air, which would be considerably less at higher altitudes. Thinner air = less resistance = faster freefall speed. The net effect would be that a jumper exiting at 30,000 feet would accelerate over the course of the first few seconds until he reached the terminal velocity applicable to that altitude - and would then gradually slow down somewhat as he descends into increasingly dense air.
i WOULD jump but i have diabetes type 2, am overweight, faint at the sight of heights, am terrified of spiders etc ... So if a plane full of diabetic type 2 spiders were piloting that plane, I'd be in hell
@@davidmellor1561 well technically the low opening uselly pus around 800-1000ft The point being you want to be under canopy for as little time as possible
Just givin you a little shit bud, seemed like that was the goin theme in the comment section lol i won't lie i hate nickelfag as much as the next man, & as bad as i hate to admit this, i may or may not of known a couple words here or there hahaha 😮🔫

This was so goofy I just have to comment… it was like a goon squad with horrible videography to boot. And the theme song was torture. How these goofballs acquired the resources to HALO is perplexing.
NOT a HALO jump, just a cheap wannabe imitation capitalizing on the Military REAL THING named HALO to get more monetized youtube views. A disgrace to the real American hero's who went through REAL HALO school to defend this Nation with HONOR.
Ok are you stupid or are you a know it all. HALO is a description of the type jump and a lot of people former military, retire etc or just joe civilian want to do it because its rare people get to do it, that includes military free fall jumpers most never get that altitude. The military doesn’t own the title to HALO, or HAHO. In my units most jumps were from 10,000, because of the complexity with oxygen systems and pre breathing, it was more important to jump from 10,000 to get in several jumps both day and night More altitude just means falling time. Stop disrespecting these guys who many of them are retired military free fall jump masters, it’s a skill why not use it.

7:56 jump begins
9:56 pulls parachute
120 seconds of free fall, wow
Imagine having no parachute and having two minutes to live. Holy fuck.
basically the height of jumping off mount Everest. Crazy Also this really puts a perspective on how tall mount Everest is.
He jumped waaaaay higher bro

I've gotten my scuba my pilots and my class a jump license. This is on my list!
And it is not a TRUE HALO jump, just a civilian mockery of the real thing. Cheap knockoff nowhere approaching the REAL THING.

Is the jumper claiming 2,000 feet that he did not jump?
I did one at 2000 feet back in 1987 and thought that was high enough for one lifetime. It's scary when you can see people walking around below you

What a crazy amount of free-fall time, awesome
with the psy trance background music niiicee .D
9:54 😱 Why you didn't track?
He’s not even close to him
I watched the tandem and cameraman all the way down. Our separation was fine due to the fast run in speed of the aircraft
You literally have a gopro on your head but give us the selfie view the entire time...
Who jumps to creed?
I would be screaming all the way down from exiting and happiness and fear of course

Oscar Olson you barely hear yourself screaming “ 😂 nice one,
Sounds amazing man,
That was beautiful bro
Has the wingsuiter landed yet? 😉
This is so fantastic 😍
One of my favorite aircrafts to jump out of. He is spending a lot of time staring at his altimeter, I wonder if he even saw the other canopy @ 9:55.
In a word yes. I watched the tandem drogue and the cameraman all the way down. Had good separation on opening. Made sure of that.
Hey where’s Godzilla during all this?
You should have mixed and matched the shoulder , chest and helmet cam 🙂
am crazy about that My Sacrifice sound track omg.
What exactly was that lose strap flapping near your reserve flap?
Not from 30,000'. This jump was from 28,000'.
If gravity is constantly pulling us together, then why do we try so hard to push each other apart?
Why do the planes fly so high? I'd be pissing my pants from the height alone
How cold is it at 30,000 ft.?
2 minutes of free fall, nice!
Omg the beginning oh man im really "impressed" or?!😳
At what altitude did he pull.
If memory serves me right I pulled as I passed 4k
What's the music at the beginning?
Pretty much 2 minutes on the dot free fall time, I couldn't imagine that 40 seconds was enough for me
What was the temperature up there?
Fucking Cold!!!
I had a T shirt, fleece top and overalls and I was nice and warm. I wasn't cold at all and during freefall felt like dropping into a warm bath
@@mellwingnut You are so brave
Firkin. awesome ,,,, Ciao belli ,,, live to the fullest
Im working towards this anyone know what the permit and licences are needed for this jumps cant be just for army reserve
200 jumps minimum if I remember rightly
Open to sports jumpers
This looks like something I’ll never attempt. I wonder how fast he was going, seemed like he was falling forever

L ha presa molto male.. ma chi era il giovanotto?
Awesome!!
I would be scared as shit going up 30,000 ft hey best way to see the world so let's give it a try I take tranning
I would love to do it. I can do it.
awesome bro...
Sometimes known as the hell no jump, I ain't going.
You literally could have used any song in the world, yet you chose Creed?
Thumbs down for the music, sorry.
Not 30,000 feet
Hope is stronger than fear
i WOULD jump but i have diabetes type 2, am overweight, faint at the sight of heights, am terrified of spiders etc
...
So if a plane full of diabetic type 2 spiders were piloting that plane, I'd be in hell
Extraction required, DIP lol 😁
It was cool ad hell and then creed happened

Dropping into a airsoft game like this.
And getting shot instantly when on the ground. Hit!
2min freefall almost exactly
*25:00*
Looks scary but it's fun anyway, but I'll do it one day
Top Demais!!
Why did you have to go and ruin it with music when we want to actually hear the air rushing past you.
And by the way this wasn't a proper Halo jump.
Not a lot of LO going on there right!?
💪💪👌👌
That doesn't look anywhere close to 30,000ft.
It was.....
you got balls
Beautiful
5:50
16:40
It's way too cold at 30,000 feet to jump out of an airplane...
Get you some i need altimeter really bad
sorry i don't speak american non logical feet system
"OMG I might have to do a simple conversion!" No system of measurement is entirely logical.
Amazing
This was not from 30,000', this was from 28,000'. Period.
And I thought rounding up to 6 inches was bad
Fucking epic.
this would be the best way to die just free falling
