      Sky Diving isn't all that dangerous. Statistically speaking you have a higher chance of dying on your way to the sky diving place then you do jumping out of the plane. I've gone twice now and plan on a third!

    I joined an Army National Guard Airborne unit years ago. The company of almost 200 men and women had jumped from a C141 the year before at the start of their 2 week training. It was a night jump. The Air Force personnel that ran the jump from the aircraft F'ed up and had them beginning their jump when they were halfway into the drop zone.
    Almost the entire company landed in an area covered with huge rocks and trees. The First Sargent was one of the last to be discharged from the Army with a medical disability. He could not walk without a cane. He said you could hear bones breaking like popcorn popping. Over 100 people in the company were medically discharged with permanent, physical injuries!
    I made 5 jumps to qualify, 3 from Huey's, 1 C130, and 1 C141. Then I was made net control station (NCS) operator of ground communications for jumps (when one was needed) as I was the only person in the entire battalion who had experience working as an NCS operator of radio net, outside of a training classroom. I was very happy with that, not having to jump.

      I don't care how much the chute costs, if that was me. At that point, and I mean like right when it started to rag doll him, the knife is coming out. Like the one guy also had to cut away his main chute so that he could open his reserve. This makes it seem like all skydivers should carry a knife with serrated blade. Similar to what you want for cutting a seat belt if needed. Pretty much can't find a folding pocket knife without a half serrated blade now. Manufacturers think it looks cool.

      I’m a pilot. There’s certain areas that are designated for skydiving to keep other aircraft away. Since two planes were dropping off skydivers at the same time and same area it makes a mid air collision more likely. Not all planes have a radar to see other traffic.

    I've gone skydiving once. I paid to solo. They did a day's worth of training and had 2 jump masters on both sides of me when we did it. It all went well until I pulled the cord and the parachute immediately twisted. You spin so fast that you barely realize what happened. I looked up and the lines were twisted but I was vertical. They had talked about this in the school and said you should start kicking your feet "rotationally" in the direction to untwist it.. I did that.. and it very quickly untwisted.. Then I was like.. huh.. that went ok.. I checked the lines.. All was well so I disconnected the "I think they're called toggles" to steer with and floated to the ground!

      I did go skydiving to celebrate 25 years on this earth. My girlfriend at the time accompanied me to watch. We drove out to the drop site. I and two others had to take a morning of lessons on the ground to become versant in all 'what if...' situations, and to practice where to put our various arms and legs on the exit. We used a mock up plane on the ground. My girl was bored waiting for me, so when she was offered a tandem jump, she said yes, on her own dime. It's too bad I was not ready to settle down for the long haul. That girl was a keeper.

    Some info about the five numbered ones...
    #5 - The harness was properly adjusted to begin with but the way she fell in the door (not shown in this compilation) let her slip out a bit. Harnesses have been redesigned to prevent this.
    #4 - Arm severed from spine is a stupid thing to say...but the skydiver did suffer enough nerve damage that he lost the arm.
    #3 - An issue with the way the rig was manufactured caused the snag preventing proper deployment & cutaway. That manufacturer has redesigned the rig to prevent that type of malfunction in the future.
    #2 - They didn't almost hit a plane...the plane almost hit them. That plane is the one they jumped out of, the pilot was trying to get back to the ground as soon as possible.
    #1 - The video says 6 skydivers but there were actually 9 (4 in one plane, 5 in the other). Everyone survived...all 9 jumpers got out & away, the pilot bailed out of the plane that lost the wing, the other pilot was able to land safely.

      I don't buy your explanation on #3. Looks like a bad cutaway, either left-right pull instead of right-left or simultanious left and right pull in a panicked situation. There's nothing for a main to snag on with the three ring release and with proper sequencing a reserve can never get near the main. You have some specific info about this? What I see on the vid is when the reserve is deployed there's no tension on the lines which means he was still fully attached to his main and not just a snag. My bet is he pulled his reserve first right into his main and then cutaway the main of course at that point the main gets snagged in whatever mess that's created.

    My one and only jump in 1984 was very similar to 1:15 minus the injuries. It was a static line jump with modified military chute from a Cessna 172. It had same type flip up door and step platform bolted to the landing gear. Had a good exit at 3000 feet off the platform after climbing out and a good opening. Was aiming for a target in the grass near the runway and was about to bullseye the landing when a sudden wind gust came when I was about 100-125 feet up. It caught me good and no toggling helped so it put me right over the paved runway. I landed with the proper form but hit very hard and why I didn't break anything I'll never know. Nothing broken but I had to see a chiropractor a few days later. I was 36 years old at the time. I was the first one out of the plane but the 2nd guy out had a bad landing. I was picking up my chute after checking myself over when I saw him land poorly and not get up. I dropped my chute, ran over, and he was really screaming because he had shattered both ankles. On the second plane load a jumper had his reserve chute deploy when they opened the door but they fortunately contained it and decided to land. I was going to make a second jump that day but promised my wife if the whole deal looked like a cluster fuck I wouldn't jump. I did get the 1st jump in but decided not to do a second. That was the end of my parachuting adventure. I'm now about to celebrate my 75th birthday and sometimes when I think back on it I wonder what the hell was I ever thinking. Oh, I almost forgot. My buddy who talked me into the whole deal landed in the trees. Bad day.

    I had my first and only parachute jump in 1986. It was a static line round canopy jump from 2,500ft. Just before I jumped I asked my jumpmaster if he ever had to use his reserve chute. He said something like "in over five hundred jumps I've never had to pull my reserve". After I jumped he went out. All I saw was his main chute floating free and a second reserve chute open. I jinxed the poor sob. He landed in the trees somewhere but he was ok.

    That round canopy caught in a thermal so he kept landing over and over happened at one of the drop zones I jumped at. Three of us were jumping either TU’s or Aero Conicals (this was back in the 70’s) and the wind picked up as we were landing.
    My friend went back up in the air a couple of times before collapsing her chute and I went up once but then got dragged across a runway and tore two rather large holes in my trousers…. but I at least knew to grab one of the risers and started pulling in one set of lines to get the canopy to deflate.
    But man… the laughter of my friends coupled with pain in my rear end really annoyed me because it grounded me from further jumps that day as the runway had caused friction burns through my almost new jumpsuit, my only pair of jeans there and my underwear before going through my skin as well. Had to sleep on my front for a while, I can tell you. Oh and the drive home was horrible too. 🥹

  • @michael37570

    I did one solo skydive after a days training from 3,000ft. The shute is a static line, rather like the old war films and is connected to a line that pulls the cord as you leave the plane. The shute opened ok but the lines were twisted when it opened, we were taught to spin to undo it and this worked. I then gripped the risers (or toggles) and by luck more than intent executed a perfect landing, the strange thing was at the time I think back I wasn't all that worried. Before we jumped we were all given a number and a small receiver so we could take instructions from the ground, unfortunately the second person refused to jump so the second person to jump was really number 3. the man on the ground didn't know this and kept calling to number 2 (not 3) to tack into the wind as they were heading to a river, thankfully he was ok. This was in the UK at Headcorn 1993.

      At least you had a step... When I went the first time, there was just the door. Because of that, as I went out (sideways to the wind of course), the wind hit my head and torso first, causing me to start spinning to the right, twisting the lines. It wasn't a huge problem because they were simple twists and I was at 3000 feet. Oh, and the "one-way" radio they gave us didn't work at all, but they had a huge pivoting arrow on the ground we could look down and and head that direction, so it all worked out. Lastly, they told us ahead of time that we wouldn't be able to tell them the color of our parachute. Yeah right. Did my jump, turned in the chute, and the guy asked me the color. SOB... I couldn't tell him. Funny thing is that I remembered later, but yeah, it's sensory overload.

      No reason to break anything when jumping. An army MC-1 falls at 21 ft. per second and thousands of paratroopers land everyday without breaking anything. A civilian/square canopy slows you to 2 or 3 FPS when flaired. No more impact on legs than hoping down a stair or two.

    Wondered how things ended with last one. At what point did that parachute give up and let that poor man rest. Great video
