@@FormerGovernmentHuman My brother-in-law told me about something similar when he was in Green Beret training in the 70's and they were doing static line jumps. A guy ahead of him got tangled up in the lines somehow and when he hit the end, it broke his back. He then slipped free and parachuted down with a broken back. Brother-in-law saw it happen but had to jump when it was his turn.
This guy is lucky the parachute didn't actually deploy from the bag. He would likely be nothing more than a red mist and some chunks the way those risers were wrapped around him. The rigger, the inspector, the paratrooper himself, and his static line check buddy may all have some explaining to do depending on what was visible with this jump kit.
Does that stand for “jump master parachute inspection” or something? Because I have no clue what that acronym means! I’m not in the military, nor have I ever (or will never) jumped out of a plane lol!
Back in 86. We were taught. Hupra was carried but would never be needed. You never heard of hung ups. Ive since seen and heard of a few. Our training and drills and checks was excellent. You realise how good Brit training was when you jumped with other armies and saw their methods. Lucky guy.😅
Things have changed in the 30 years I retired. I made more than 200 static-line jumps, all of them tucked in tight and NOT "stable spread." THIS is every jumpmaster's nightmare. It could have been at night in bad weather -- which would have been WAAAYY worse. So glad nobody died.
I take it you didn't do any Steerable Static Line descents with kit into water which is what these guys are training for. Hence the different exit position.
That’s why he got wrapped. When his line flipped, he arm got caught in it. That’s exactly why you keep tucked and not arms out. That’s very WW2 Russian and German to jump like that. Surprised to see UK troops do that. Even though this is obviously an old video based on the uniforms.
He's Tailgating, we jump with a 'stable spread' position as this is how we'll jump when carrying heavier loads. The position when going out the side door is totally different, tucked in tight.
@@JammyDodger45 it’s still why he got wrapped up. You can see it happen at 0:04. You won’t ever find US troops jump like that. For anything. Not on a static line.

I replied to someone yesterday, before seeing the video to the end - which is where you see (what looks like) his static line trapped against his harness by one of the clips securing his suspended load to his harness. Somebody sleepwalking thru gearchecks?
Over 30 years ago, in the 82nd, I had something similar happen. The static line was wrapped around the main lift web. Something felt off when I hooked up, because as a big guy, I always popped the first band. The guy behind me slapped my back and said all good, but it still didn't feel right. I was right door, outboard and yelled to my buddy diagonally behind me on the inboard to check. It got fixed, but the jump master tried to accuse me of tampering with my own chute. Idiot was just trying to cover his ass because he missed it on pre jump inspection. I was just glad I was not a towed jumper!
Former US paratrooper here. There are procedures for a towed parachutist, as in this case. If you become towed, and are conscious, the jumpmaster in the door will begin to cut your static line, yell to the jumper that he is about to do so, and tell you to standby to deploy your reserve chute. Since you cannot actually see the jumpmaster and the environment is very loud, the jumpmaster will ask you to give a thumbs up acknowledging that you are ready to pull a reserve chute. This is to verify everyone is on the same page, and that the jumper is alert and/or conscious. Obviously cutting an unconscious towed jumper is a death sentence. If the towed jumper IS unconscious, then there is a different procedure.
Many moons ago (mid 90's) I did a number of jumps at skydive Paso Robles; back when you had to climb out on the wing of a Cessna, hold on to a strut and when the instructor yelled at you, you released and performed the proper "Arms & legs spread out"... the line that was attached to the plane (Just like this video) would open your chute. The instructor on the ground had us "helmet-wired" to talk to us and instruct us as to when to turn, where to land, etc. Second jump, instead of performing the "Out-Stretched arms and legs", I went into the fetal position and was told "I flew over the opening chute"... Everyone on the ground couldn't believe i didn't "Clam-Shell" myself directly into the chute which would have killed me by not allowing me to breakaway from my main and release my emergency chute. Pure luck it was and the veteran skydivers looked at me all day, shaking their heads in disbelief.
That's scary. I had a near-clamshell on my second solo jump. Didn't seem that bad to me, but watching the GoPro footage from the chaser afterwards made my skin crawl.
Static line injuries and being a towed jumper were literally my greatest fears. I would rather get into a firefight 10x over than deal with either of those. I honestly would rather get shot again.
Great idea, even a front mounted reserve might have been obstructed by that tangle. It looked like a pretty small chute, so I suspect he came down pretty fast and dangling all crooked. But I remember film of i think a female in Thailand got battered to hell and came out the rig. She would have appreciated this thing. Surprised it took 50 years
Just to tie up a technicality if i may? During HUPRA nothing is attached at the body end of the parachutist. Back in the day on the PX 1 Mk 4 the Hupra cable is passed through every single static line buckle to ensure that the primary and targeted static line is encompassed in the system. Checks sre carried out until finally the 'Cable' an intrinsic piece of the aircraft is bolt cropped. On average from start to finish, HUPRA can normally be deployed successfully in around 7 minutes..!
I seen a lot of similar videos like this why does the cable get wrapped around the person's arm is it something wrong with the the parachuter right before they jump or is it a defect
I'm amazed that they do a static line jump using that technique with the arms out. In US Army jump school we were taught to put our hands on the reserve to keep them from flailing around. That dude was lucky his chute deployed after he was cut from the aircraft.
Apparently there was a hang up with the NZ army many years ago and cause it was so rare, the pilot wanted to see, so handed over to co-pilot and went to the ramp, dunno if he let the co-pilot have a look too but the the poor bloke was rag doll dragged around a few minutes more than necessary. On my army parachute course (Australia) our drill was to put hands on head and look back, await for jumpmaster to cut your static line so you'd then be on your own with your reserve chute.
“so when you jump, just fling your arms out wide. Don’t worry, they’ll never get caught in the risers”. -jumpmaster from the stupidest army in the world

wouldn't that guy still have been tangled up and unable to assume a landing position with his gear caught in cables right above his head? im pretty sure not having the rest of this video means there wasn't much a good landing for him in this event
First use of HUPRA (Hung Up Parachutist’s Recovery Assembly?) I believe. I was at RAF Brize Norton that day (in 1992/1993 I recall), doing a photo-shoot for No1 PTS when a signal came in to dash to RAF Weston-on-the-Green to cover it, but traffic delayed me so I missed it although we did watch the Hercules circling while driving there. Lucky man.
I did my Basic Parachute Course in '94 and we watched this video as part of the classroom phase so your timeline sounds good to me although it was a Steerables Course jumping from a Skyvan so no Herc overhead unless they were just sightseeing 😁
@@JammyDodger45 I must have got my timelines mixed up! This IS obviously a Skyvan, but the first use of HUPRA was from a Hercules, with I think a soldier from 5 AB Bde Log Bn just before they deployed to Rwanda. There is, or was, a great video of that around somewhere on UA-cam 👍🏼
Release Assembly, the system doesn't recover, it releases the parachutist from the aircraft along with every other static line and D bag on the same cable... Just an observation 👍
@@peterrussell663 morning Peter, I couldn't comment on that mate but I just know that by the mid 80s and as I have said elsewhere on this post, it could be successfully deployed in around 7 minutes which considering the seriousness of what was trying to be achieved? Wasn't bad I reckon. Remembering of course that it was never a single handed effort with either 2 or 4 dispatchers on each Sortie and the cable always cut by the Air Loadmaster who was ready to rock and roll from the get go 👍👍🪂🪂
There's no hmmmm about it, this video was part of the training course for all British military paratroopers for about 20yrs, I've seen the full version a handful of times. The aircraft didn't just fuck off to the far horizon, it went into orbit around the DZ and the hung up paratrooper was released at the point in that orbit that would get him on to the DZ because that's where the medics would be waiting!
If your going to post something, don’t say in the description that he “somehow escaped”. They attach another parachute and cut the lines. Do a little research.
@@TheNinindi no, not necessarily. But an inquiry will follow and if a mistake was made, maybe retraining and/or Art. 15. If negligence, possible strong discipline and/or court martial leading to dishonorable discharge. The latter is like never the case. But negligence in any discipline will do that. Sometimes, there's just a material/mechanical failure.
There is a winch called a static line retrieval system that just hooks into or in front of the static line, then you suck him back into the aircraft. Or if he's conscious, just cut him free and he'll activate his reserve chute. Hopefully.
@dafox - the aircraft is trimmed to reduce turbulence around the hung up paratrooper and goes into a slow wide orbit around the DZ. The jumper is released at a point in the orbit which increases the likelihood of them landing in the DZ.
Geez...all I could think about was what was this guy thinking just stuck dangling from a plane at what...5000 feet? This is how you know when you're going to die.
Pulling him in is impossible without a winch due to the 'weight' of the jumper in the airflow. With a winch there is a massively high chance of him being smashed off the side of the aircraft and sustaining greater physical injuries than if he's released. Even this small aircraft (a Shorts Skyvan) is doing about 120mph here (around twice it's Stall Speed to account for the reduced performance from towing a guy) so being hauled back and smashed off the aircraft is a serious probability and a definite negative outcome.
I don't understand what happened - static line jump but he stayed attached to the Plane ?....was he unconscious? ....do they have reserve shuts, could he have cut loose and deployed a reserve?
Just to help you? The British likely the same as most countries that deploy HUPRA teach a very specific reaction to being hung up. 1. If poss, the hands should come to the top of their helmet to show consciousness. In the old days, the PX 1 MK4 could not be cut away ergo any deployment of a reserve would or could likely bring the aircraft down.
My first sergeant tried getting me to try out for special forces. I always refused, and he finally asked why. I said that would involve jumping out of planes. Do you really want to have someone there with a pry bar to get me out of my seat, and to have to physically throw me from the plane?? He never asked again.
Just seen this....broke out in cold sweat.. static line jumps were common in my time but never saw this happen...well done for coming out of it ok.

У моего курсанта вытяжная веревка при одевании парашюта на старте прошла под плечевым обхватом, в результате зависание за самолетом Ан-2, кое-как втянули обратно на борт. Парашют был Д-1-5У, на принудиловку, Попотели капитально 🥴 Слава Богу обошлось ! 👍🪂💯
Д-1 на Новый год 100 лет минимум
@@user-xw2xp3xu5i Не путать с ПД-47. Сам с ним не прыгал, но в Питере в Лисем носу видел прыжок с этим парашютом. Точно не помню, то-ли в 80-м, или в 81-м году, вот это точно древность !
@@kuper5856 По моему спутал с Д-5. или Д-6.
@user-xw2xp3xu5i Никак НЕТ @kuper5856 абсолютно ничего не перепутал, был и до сих пор существует такой парашют Д-1-5у. Этот парашют считается самым надёжным, естественно при условии грамотной эксплуатации. Парашют для обучения начинающих спортсменов, которые выполнили предварительно три прыжка на Д-5 или ( Д-6 практически аналог 5го ) И у Д-1-5у есть несколько вариантов раскрытия 1 принудительный, когда с купола стягивается чехол который привязан фалом который зацепляется к самолёту карабином; 2 эмитация ручного раскрытия, тот же фал, но чехол стягивается вытяжным пружинным шаром - парашютиком; и 3 для более опытных - ручное раскрытие, человек сам должен самостоятельно выдернуть вытяжное кольцо для раскрытия ранца и выхода шарика который в свою очередь стягивает чехол с купола. (причём стропы в отличии той дурацкой системы что на видео, на Д-1-5у уложены аккуратно в соты которые находятся в основании чехла).
@@user-xw2xp3xu5i Нет не спутал, Д-5 и Д-6 это армейские десантные парашюты. Д-1-5у идет от пар.системы Д-1-8 Имеет три разновидности укладки: принудительное стягивание чехла, расчековка ранца и ручное раскрытие. Отработал 21год инструктором ПДП в авиаклубе, на память вроде-бы еще не жалуюсь. Удачи ! 👍🪂
Why did you jump tho?
wouldn't that guy still have been tangled up and unable to assume a landing position with his gear caught in cables right above his head? im pretty sure not having the rest of this video means there wasn't much a good landing for him in this event
The HUPRA parachute has a slower rate of descent than the standard chute ... but you're right, it's going to be a bad landing no matter what!
Well at least he was hooked in
Is that Weston on the Green in England. Aircraft looked to be a Shorts Skyvan? Must be very old video as wearing DPM.
It is, it is and it is.
100% correct, take Sunday off.
That's scary stuff! 😮
Be willing to bet a change of pants was in order upon hitting the ground. Never seen arms out like that during static jumps, maybe was the cause?
First use of HUPRA (Hung Up Parachutist’s Recovery Assembly?) I believe. I was at RAF Brize Norton that day (in 1992/1993 I recall), doing a photo-shoot for No1 PTS when a signal came in to dash to RAF Weston-on-the-Green to cover it, but traffic delayed me so I missed it although we did watch the Hercules circling while driving there. Lucky man.
I did my Basic Parachute Course in '94 and we watched this video as part of the classroom phase so your timeline sounds good to me although it was a Steerables Course jumping from a Skyvan so no Herc overhead unless they were just sightseeing 😁
@@JammyDodger45 I must have got my timelines mixed up! This IS obviously a Skyvan, but the first use of HUPRA was from a Hercules, with I think a soldier from 5 AB Bde Log Bn just before they deployed to Rwanda. There is, or was, a great video of that around somewhere on UA-cam 👍🏼
Release Assembly, the system doesn't recover, it releases the parachutist from the aircraft along with every other static line and D bag on the same cable... Just an observation 👍
@@carldowd406 you’re quite correct. I recall the first use of HUPRA took quite a long time to deploy, but it worked successfully.
@@peterrussell663 morning Peter, I couldn't comment on that mate but I just know that by the mid 80s and as I have said elsewhere on this post, it could be successfully deployed in around 7 minutes which considering the seriousness of what was trying to be achieved? Wasn't bad I reckon. Remembering of course that it was never a single handed effort with either 2 or 4 dispatchers on each Sortie and the cable always cut by the Air Loadmaster who was ready to rock and roll from the get go 👍👍🪂🪂
Was there no way in pulling him back into the aircraft? Looks like they attached an emergency chute and cut him loose.
Just wondering who was filming ???
I'm curious how far he landed from the actual landing zone lol
He landed on the DZ.
@@JammyDodger45 hmmmm
There's no hmmmm about it, this video was part of the training course for all British military paratroopers for about 20yrs, I've seen the full version a handful of times.
The aircraft didn't just fuck off to the far horizon, it went into orbit around the DZ and the hung up paratrooper was released at the point in that orbit that would get him on to the DZ because that's where the medics would be waiting!
@@JammyDodger45 oh okay that is convenient, good thing chute is reliable
legend has it he's still walking back
(and yeah read the other commenters, just joking)
...lucky man!...thanks to God!...
So.... no way to bring him back onto the plane? If the result seen in this video doesn't happen, do they just land dragging him on the runway?
If your going to post something, don’t say in the description that he “somehow escaped”. They attach another parachute and cut the lines. Do a little research.
He somehow escaped.
@@-_.._._--_.-.-_-_-_-...-.-Beautiful. 😂
I do agree with you. But the reply was classic. 😂
Not being already familiar with this stuff, this is exactly the answer I was looking for.
How'd you like to be that rigger when they pull your number from that pack?
Do they get fired for something like this?
@@TheNinindi no, not necessarily. But an inquiry will follow and if a mistake was made, maybe retraining and/or Art. 15. If negligence, possible strong discipline and/or court martial leading to dishonorable discharge. The latter is like never the case. But negligence in any discipline will do that. Sometimes, there's just a material/mechanical failure.
"I will be sure, always"......except that day,!
I guess he change branch and is now serving in a submarine.
Oh hell, he's really sunk then.
This was probably his last jump
Also it was his last use of that particular pair of underwear.
How do you attach an emergency chute to a static line?
It loops through a friction brake (a bit like a piece of rock climbing kit)
My desk job is feeling not so bad now.
Before exit a proper 'equipment check' was obviously not carried out at all or properly.
Yes that was a special chute attached to the static line .
He lucked out .
А теперь кто понимает, расскажите что случилось???
I just want to know how he managed to get back to the DZ. Was the aircraft just spinning circles until he got free? it didnt seem like it.
There is a winch called a static line retrieval system that just hooks into or in front of the static line, then you suck him back into the aircraft. Or if he's conscious, just cut him free and he'll activate his reserve chute. Hopefully.
@Klemheist and almost certainly watched him rolling 'round there in the welter of his gore...and he ain't gonna jump no more.
@@dangvorbei5304- there is no winch in a Shorts Skyvan (this aircraft) and Brits have never used winches.
@@JammyDodger45 then unless the JM has some serious biceps, poor Towed Jumper Guy is just SOL.
@dafox - the aircraft is trimmed to reduce turbulence around the hung up paratrooper and goes into a slow wide orbit around the DZ.
The jumper is released at a point in the orbit which increases the likelihood of them landing in the DZ.
Sin duda fallo al entrelazar la línea estática.
saw a similar video where the guy got untangled and just dropped... chute never opened
Fixing an emergency chute to the line then cutting it away is normal practice
Супер. Офигенный канал. Процветания автору и каналу.
I forgot why I allways carry a knife i the days I was still skydiving even started to think no reason to have it
static line was under his arm when he jumped
WHOA!!!
Geez...all I could think about was what was this guy thinking just stuck dangling from a plane at what...5000 feet? This is how you know when you're going to die.
Looks like poor guy picked up an injury as well (1:21)
Is that blood?
So why didn't they pull him in? Somebody should explain that to us newbies...?
Pulling him in is impossible without a winch due to the 'weight' of the jumper in the airflow. With a winch there is a massively high chance of him being smashed off the side of the aircraft and sustaining greater physical injuries than if he's released.
Even this small aircraft (a Shorts Skyvan) is doing about 120mph here (around twice it's Stall Speed to account for the reduced performance from towing a guy) so being hauled back and smashed off the aircraft is a serious probability and a definite negative outcome.
He was TA and they didn't want him back.
I don't understand what happened - static line jump but he stayed attached to the Plane ?....was he unconscious? ....do they have reserve shuts, could he have cut loose and deployed a reserve?
Just to help you? The British likely the same as most countries that deploy HUPRA teach a very specific reaction to being hung up. 1. If poss, the hands should come to the top of their helmet to show consciousness. In the old days, the PX 1 MK4 could not be cut away ergo any deployment of a reserve would or could likely bring the aircraft down.
This dummy almost got me 😅
Find him and ask for six random numbers for the lottery.
I would of cut the line an seen how really good he was lol jks but i like how they kept him hanging on thread lol
My first sergeant tried getting me to try out for special forces. I always refused, and he finally asked why. I said that would involve jumping out of planes. Do you really want to have someone there with a pry bar to get me out of my seat, and to have to physically throw me from the plane?? He never asked again.
Got him back over the DZ at Weston
It got hung up on that tool he had hooked somewhere,
Hook-up, shuffle to the door and GET OFF MY AIRCRAFT...and a bad exit......
I'm not doing that again!
would've peed my pants
Maybe he was chocked by breaking an arm or hardly squeezed (hallo Yello swiss duo) in groins by the ropes? So not moving after the strapping on.😢
yo no volveria a saltar en paracaidas nunca mas
Let’s go LEG!
