@@Bethlam I landed about 200 meters from where I was supposed to. The Point of Impact (POI). I was trying to do a right front parachute landing fall (PLF) and my leg stuck and my body rotated around my leg and broke it.
Dude landed straight on his legs, as someone who shattered there kneecap from falling I think I'd rather curl my legs and brake a rib than land with my legs out and take all the impact into my knees, atleast they give you morphine in hospital lol
I have 135 jumps and there are times when you "just hit hard." Fortunately I've never been seriously injured. I feel for this guy and hope he recovered and went on to do whatever he wanted to do. Hard Corp Brother!!
@@keithh1380 He didn't use the parachute landing fall (PLF). It's a technique for a paratrooper to safely land. Basically once u land u roll over your body to the side or back to spread the weight of the body across the body rather than putting all the weight and pressure on your legs (ankles). As u can see this guy just landed straight down all the way with his legs. The gliding down a paratrooper goes through isn't slow.
@@keithh1380He didn't land correctly. The joke of airborne is it literally makes you shorter by hitting the ground so damn hard. Like your spin gets compressed like a pancake.

@@holazaddy naw just land on your legs but always bent. Let your thighs and knees take the brunt of the force. If you ever watch parkour or guys who do ridiculous height jumping always bent legs.
The sound of someone screaming in real pain has always made the hair on my neck stand up. It's somthing movies will never get right. There was a few times I knew i was walking up on something bad, just from that high pitched desperate scream.
The moment when you see that your friend is in so much pain he ain't even screaming just pressing air out of his lungs,redface and twitching eyes, about to pass out. Its frightening to see.
It happens. One of my West Point instructors told us he was on a jump and got a serious head injury, almost detached both retinas. High winds dragged him way off course. He said he spent like 2 months in a dark room in a hospital with a blindfold on recovering. Same thing happened to the Sergeant Major. These guys were highly experienced. These are not recreational parachutes, they drop much more vertically. The newer chutes are safer.
I was going to say, I have been skydiving, (first jump solo but with instructors initially holding on) and I don't remember hitting the deck that fast.
I went to a guy’s house on an ambulance run and I saw his airborne ranger uniform picture on the wall. I told him “I was a mech grunt”. He said “your back and knees will thank you”.
My dad was airborne for over 15 years. He was 6’3” when he first became airborne. Was only 6’ by the time he got out. He still swears it’s because the landings squished his height over time.
RoninTF2011 - yep. People shrink with age so it was probably combination of both. My mom says he used to be much taller too. He shrank 2-3 inches while in the army. He also has a lot of back problems now a days with multiple surgeries.
When I broke my leg I was so confused. Didn't even hear the snap. I just remember this extremely agonizing pain. When they dropped my broken leg off the stretcher and my thigh made a right angle that's when it hit me...
Definitely cuz of the instant adrenaline I've done it a lot in the past ill get adrenaline boosts and I basically lose all control of my nerves and I dont realize how much strength I use
Lmao. I thought you were gonna say skmething like "when they dropped my broken leg off the stretcher and they started moving, i realized my leg stayed there as i watched it getting further and further away from me until i couldnt see it anymore.."
Isn't rude to say Im sorry it ended your (military) career? That shit ended his good times. He might be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life but anyway not fit to have a Street fight or intensive lifting jobs. In a way, its a good thing his mind screamed out of pain. For his heart would have cried and screamed for a whole day.

@@donut7907 On all of my jumps it was always... Feet, ass, head! 😅 ...and it always hurt afterwards too! 😂 Day jumps were the nice ones (unless there was high wind, but mine always got canceled if it was too high). Those were the only ones where you landed lightly enough you could practically land standing up (though I never risked it, primarily because you don't know exactly what it is you'll be landing on). Most of my jumps were always at night. Night jumps on the other hand, you dropped much faster, sometimes you couldn't even see the ground (fog), and judging your movement in relation to the ground was even more difficult. From what I see, this guy didn't fight his angular momentum (sideways movement due to wind and flight), plus he's much higher (like he's @ Benning), so he picked up even more speed as a result. Lastly, don't ever fight the landing or stiffen up. But you know this already having bailed out of a perfectly good airplane nearly 100 times! 🤣 😉👍
@@donut7907 Is that because of all the gear you have and your really heavy? or is that how every para drop goes? It seems like recreational parachutists(?) dont drop that hard idk tho
@@VashStarwind its a different type on parachute, yes the gear etc also affect it but with these military parachutes you are falling pretty much straight down and much faster with much less control
There are SO many comments wanting to sound smart when in reality they have no idea of what happened. According to the OP, high winds pushed them far off course, and by bad luck he was pushed into a tank ditch. He ATTEMPTED to land and roll as everyone is ignorantly claiming he didn't do, but his leg got caught in the ditch and his roll ended up snapping his leg. After 12 failed surgeries, he ultimately decided to amputate his leg, and says he's doing better now with the robot one. He continues to skydive to this day. Thank you for your service.
@@eliasziad7864except this is an exercise and if I remember right this was done in cooperation with the Dutch over a training field in the Netherlands. He is as much am invade as you are a smart person.
@Drilltayler...Just for the record "Airborne Ops", along with hi winds/training accidents happen "almost" every day and night. It's something our people train for over and over again until we can do it in our sleep. Not to sound like a know it all, but some of us do have an idea of what really happened. And I am just curious as to how many Airborne daytime/nighttime static line Ops you been on highspeed...btw did anyone else eyeball a tank ditch in that training jump video? Or anywhere close to the jumper in question? I only eyeballed a single lane improvised dirt/sand trails/roads running throughout the DZ, which our recovery vehicles and military tactical/medical vehicles use. Btw we do not "attempt" to land...Once we jump, us old schoolers conduct what we call a DPLF- aka Dynamite Parachute Landing Fall. Sorry to see what happened to this jumper...but sometimes bad things happen to all of us, whether in training or whatever the case maybe.
I love how this is a serious video of an incorrect landing just minding its own business. Then youtube recommends it to everyone and its full of memes. GG UA-cam.
It pisses me off so much that a man who broke his leg is being joked about on UA-cam. Yes, “it’s a joke”; this isn’t the right place to be joking. (Not directed at you mate)
o k If you can’t take a joke then don’t go through the comments, original jokes were about stuff like this, but people nowadays don’t understand the true meaning of a joke and only perceive it as being funny in a nice way, that’s why Dark humor is becoming more and more popular nowadays because many understand that it’s making fun of a messed up situation to bring joy
I've seen this one before and unfortunately I know exactly how it feels. After 9 knee surgeries and a dozen back surgeries my body feels decades older than it is.
For anyone who doesn’t know, you’re suppose to bend your knees and turn 90° so you land on your side/hips to help break the fall. He came in forward and straight down.
back in the day we jumped t-10 charlie chutes and it was always feet and knees together and try to follow your 5 points of contact 6 if you count your kevlar helmet hitting the ground......ft bragg days.
😮 OmGG! That is a horrible mechanism of injury! People don’t understand the pain of broken bones unless they go through it…my career almost ended when I fell through the roof of a structure fire I was working and before we could step back on the ladder the whole roof just caved and 2 of us went down 30 feet to the basement landing on our back, I got it worse because I broke his fall and I was the paramedic on duty that day…I broke a LOT of bones, blew 4 discs and had to have a anterior and posterior lumbar fusion, 3 artificial discs put in my neck, etc. Took 3 years but I finally made it back to full duty 6 mo ago. That had to be so incredibly heartbreaking, not just physically but mentally. I’m sure you had to work really hard to get there, & not being able to deploy with your brothers sucks too, I bet the VA just gave you “stellar” care. 😢 🥺 kinda makin’ me tear up rn…Thank you for your service, hope you are proud of yourself for overcoming all of that pain, and stress. I hope you are recovering well ❤
Hello. I was a paratrooper and a medic in the 82nd ABN infantry. I have a couple dozen jumps with all this same equipment. He was first out the door. Not guaranteed but most likely means he was an experienced jumper. His exit, and chute inspection after it deployed were both good. His fall rate and lateral movement(wind speed) were NOT fast. Some fall a little faster than others but there is NO malfunction, this was not unusually quick. On average, and trained to impact at 18-22 feet per second. If wind speed is too high they will cancel or delay the jump. This didn't look anywhere near the speed needed to scratch the jump. He releases his rucksack just after the 2:00 mark. It is attached to a cord/lanyard on your harness around your hip. This is so the weight of your gear impacts before you, meaning you don't have the weight on you when you impact. Now at one point you see him pull his right straps down. This may or may not of been an error. If it was to slip(steer) him in a direction no problem. You do this for many reasons, for example avoiding collision with another jumper, a road on the ground, tree etc. I would even do this after I became more experienced just so i didn't have to walk as far to the 'meet-up' point, nothing wrong with this. It is an error if this is him Flaring his chute. Flaring is pulling your chute down to slow your descent. You do this around tree top level. About 50-100 feet off the ground. If he was flaring, it was way too early. If you flare early, the air you grabbed doing it will escape causing you to speed back up. After this he didn't seem to flare at all, or near enough. His landing was poor. You're supposed to do a PLF, parachute landing fall. It's essentially a roll. You distribute the impact around your body. I cant see if he did or not, but his knees should be bent, he should of been looking down towards his right, his shoulders and upper torso should of been turned to the right. He didn't seem to do his PLF correctly. Perhaps there was a rock, or his foot got wedged. It's hard to tell without looking at him rather than from his eyes. What I mean is, i would guess this was his main error but it also could of just been bad luck. He did have the good sense to release his parachute retention strap from his harness. You know this because once the guy arrives to help, he pulls it away meaning it was already detached. This is excellent. Your chute can violently drag you after you land if you don't release this mechanism. The fact that he did this immediately while in so much pain is good to see---good on him, good training. I really hope my fellow trooper recovered well and has no lasting problems from this. ALL THE WAY! thanks for reading.
Thank you for taking the time to type that, I was actually intrigued and wanted to find out what went wrong, thank you for your service man, you guys are badasses out there, ignore these wimpy, whiney, little snowflakes over here crying about violence or the annoying teens making obnoxious jokes, God Bless our military and stay safe man

I've broken bones before and I know that pain like it's still with me,I remembered the brutality of the bone touching the nerve and poking the muscle. It's not a fun experience.
Ive broken several bones before, my collar bone my arm and my leg not at the same time though. My collar bone playing intense soccer,my arm playing football and my leg doing parkour with my buddies.
Its wild how sometimes endorphins kick in immediately and you feel nothing and other times its intense agony. I broke my collarbone on a slip-n-slide (jumped from a small hill and landed on my shoulder instead of my chest) back in 99/2000 and blacked out (I only remeber the jump and then waking up at the bottom of it with my friends looking over me). When I regained consciousness my friends were like "are you ok?!?", I got up, right shoulder/arm pushed inward a few inches and I said "Guys... I think something's wrong..." when I attempted to move my shoulder backwards I could feel the bones rubbing together. There was ZERO pain and I have a pretty low pain tolerance. My mom had me take my shirt off OVER MY HEAD (which is something you definitely don't want to do) and that didnt hurt either. My dad said when he applied slight pressure it looked like the bone was going to pop through the skin. It only started to hurt about an hour or so after it happened and it was a gradual build up from "ow this hurts" to "OMFG this is excruciating". They game me a shot of Demerol in the thigh after my dad freaked out on them and I was on Cloud 9.
"The VA has determined this is a non-service related injury. But, here's two ibuprofen and some water." I'm so sorry this happened to you. Thank you for your service, brother. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
The Sergeant Major be like he's fine send him back to the chalk shit when i was in the sick in PANAMA back in 89. I broke both of my legs during a HALO crawled on my hands and knees through a minefield and some concertina wire got shot 12 times in the ass 6 in left cheek and 6 in the right tuck some shrapnel from a mortar that exploded near by it cut my face up pretty bad . I manged to kill 32 terriost with my K-BAR tossed a grenade's and loaded 12 hostages onto a Blackhawk . I got awarded a Purple Heart & the Brone Star and sill completed the mission in record time .

My fiance is immune to advil now because military so I snorted at this comment. Thanks I kinda needed some small amount of joy after that. Military guys don't scream like that..
@@jjc6101 welcome to the world of stress fractures. you can land that 1000 times and be fine and break your leg 10 years later due to the compromised bone.. or it happens in the field. military chutes have a smaller surface area on purpose so that you fall faster minimizing the risk of being shot while falling. this increases the risk of injury.
@@0xsergy Hmm, it seem like one might favour a more complex design that can open out more, moments before landing. I did the calculations from what kenneth goodman said above. 30mph landing is equivalent to jumping a height of 10 meters with no parachute (that's like jumping from the roof of a house)
@@alsmith20000 i used to jump ~6m(we had a climbing wall in the backyard) and every time my knees and ankles hurt like hell, even with a roll. and i was only 11 weighing 100lbs, i can't imagine the impact of a full grown adult with a weapon and gear. Military = all about saving money, those chutes are the cheapest option.
For the people who don’t know why he broke his legs it’s because he attempted to land standing up straight instead of Spreading out his weight evenly on his fall.
But aren't you supposed to land om the balls of your feet then roll on buttocks in the event of malfunction to have lower body absorb impact and reduce risk of damaging upper body vital organs???
@@quantumxfluxmd6821 but you are supposed to tunble over in the direction of travel problem was he was only traveling straight down so he had nowhere to fall
Yeah, it’s like a jamming a finger, but with your legs, when going straight into the ground pretty fast your leg has to take some of the shock, that’s why you’re supposed to land with all your body weight so you don’t put it all on your legs and break them.
can’t believe the amount of people commenting how you landed incorrectly when it’s obvious your descent was much faster than any other person in the video. respect to you for getting back out there with a robo leg and continuing to live your life unafraid. i thank for for people like you protecting our freedom!
@unropednope4644 he was also "running with the wind". Not sure why absolutely no one had picked up on this. You can clearly see that he was facing the direction he was traveling in. At first I wasn't 100% sure of this. But, once he looks up briefly at his risers, you can tell.
@@acdeeiprrt if you watch, when he says, "this is gonna such suck", he cuts his gear away and drops it. I think his chute was tangled and he tried to correct it, wasn't paying attention to how he was landing, and tried to land standing up.
This reminds me of my first, and last, jump. The parachute opened up okay, and at the right time. But it was a cold and windy day. Each of us had radio communication with those guiding us from down below, doing their best to direct us to exactly where we should land. But on this cold and windy day, the ground was completely dry and rock solid. I felt that I got lucky and did not end up with a broken hip, because I guess I overdid the roll method that is used to minimize impact. I felt even more lucky when fire engines and ambulances showed up, all to help others who were not so lucky. Some of the others had ended up stuck in the trees, or had a nasty bone busting ground impact. OUCH ! Simply put, there should have been no parachuting on that day.
@Alex Luca He’d have to be actively transmitting over the radio for that to happen. Unless the Army uses some type of radio comms that doesn’t require manual transmitting.
Just chopped it off on 04SEP. I’m working on creating more content. I’m going to re release this video uncut with all the time on the DZ and some commentary. Subscribe to my channel to follow along. Where’d you wind up with your airborne qualification?
My last jump was a nasty one, I had a collision with another guy because we were doing sim doors and I hit the slipstream and collided with this unfortunate soul which resulted in my rises and suspension lines getting all twisted, eventually I got the twist out but my decent was quick and all I could think about when the earth was rushing up on me was get rid of my pack so I jettisoned it and braced for the inevitable, I maintained my training and bent at the knees with my feet clamped together so my legs don’t break whilst coming in for a side left! Apparently I bounced on the DZ and came to a halt unconscious and a little bit worse for wear, dislocated shoulder, severe concussion and tissue damage to my neck and lower back pain that stays constantly with me to keep me company on those lonely cold nights... My Doctor always shakes his head and says why would you want to jump out of a perfectly good aeroplane young man, my reply: seemed like a good idea at the time to be in a airborne regiment ..
If you were a skydiver and not an airborne, the answer to “why would you want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane?” is simply “skydivers can’t afford perfectly good airplanes.”
I’ve dislocated my knee twice, (different injury, I know) and hearing you scream out in pain made me shudder. That brought back some nasty memories. Glad your alright, mate.
He was caught in a draft. It has been known to kill airborne. That’s why he said “This is going to suck” and why I’m going to Air Assault over Airborne because anything can go wrong even if you do everything right
My friend Lou was dropped in Phillipines. Chute was holed by enemy fire. He was dropping past others resulting in fractured femor. Ended war service in Australia. 😢 He's gone, but what a guy.
Reminds me of the scene in the movie "Platoon" when Sergeant Barnes clamped his hand on that wounded soldiers' mouth and kept saying "Take the pain. Shut up and take the pain!
No joke though. In 1942 that would of been the worst breaking your leg behind german lines. Cant get medivac because the main body is engaging the Germans head on. Youre pretty much fucked.
I met this career jumper vet who could barely walk with a cane, couldn’t carry stuff like a suitcase, couldn’t stand up for more than a few minutes, had PTSD, bipolar, was divorced, and would argue with me. Then he would tell me how much money he was making on disability(over $90k). The toll mentally, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually is not worth the money.

Ryan Cave Pretty sure youse came about from the need of a plural form of you, similarly to "you all/y'all" or, "you lot." It's a dialect, sure, but under standard English variants it would still be incorrect.
Injury and have to leave airborne is hell. Been there and it's like losing a family. But life gets better and you find other victories. Stay the course brother.
He left the aircraft at 1.10 and landed at 2.22, this gives us 16 feet per second, which is considered as a normal landing speed for this type of parachute. He was also first to leave the aircraft and this tells us that he was the heaviest paratrooper on the plane. The conclusion is that his legs were not strong enough for his weight and/or he didn't follow the landing instructions.
He failed to conduct a proper PLF(Parachute Landing Fall). This instilled into our heads constantly. We also go through these procedures before every single jump. As for his weight, that’s not the reason he’s the first jumper.
You're supposed to roll into the ground when you hit it. I've talked to jump qualified guys and you hit the ground pretty fast. If you watch he just stops then falls back. All that energy went into his body. Poor guy. One fuck up and a world of hurt.
Those last 30 seconds before exiting the aircraft are the worst. Dude seemed a tad ate-up. Talked in the sky, which should be common practice NEVER to do; probably did an improper PLF
QuartuvLarry it seemed like he knew something went wrong, I’m no military expert and have never served but from what i gather he got caught in a draft of some sort causing him to botch the landing. As for parachute jumping, these military parachutes are much more painful to land than a sport parachute so if you wanna go sky diving go for it, just follow instructions and you should be fine
Been watching this video every few years for a long time. Never knew that it ended with you losing your leg. Glad you made it out the other end in a better spot almost in one piece, almost.
As a former paratrooper you train never to land your feet facing forward, he was supposed to turn his hip left or right and on fall on either side accordingly. Either way, I hope future troops can learn from this and I hope he’s recovered.
I’m a licensed recreational skydiver so we fly rectangular chutes which are very different but I’ve had my share of hard landings due to my own error and inexperience, the force of a hard landing can be serious or even fatal. I’ve had nothing close to an injury like yours. I hope you’re doing well mentally and physically after this. Thank you for your service sir!
Man, I know exactly what this poor soldier is going through. I use to jump and landed wrong when the wind shifted on me, and I broke my ankle. That was a very painful experience for me you all, nothing to joke or laugh at.
That's about it. Was at the Corregidor Jump zone at Ft. Campbell and picked one guy off the deck. Both his main and reserve failed. He hit a pine tree and bounced to the deck. He was back at work in 48 hrs.
There's a part in the book Currahee where the men are practicing landing by jumping off an elevated platform, One of the men believes he has broken his leg and informs the commanding officer who instructs him to continue with the drill and jump again. "After the next jump, it was clearly visible that he had broken his leg."
This video was reviewed by 18 of the best parachutists from 7 different countries, including both military and non military personnel. After 18weeks of deliberating they came to the conclusion that 'he need some milk'.
Tuck and roll, my guy, tuck and roll Full force of that impact traveled up his stationary frame like a rippled shockwave, scanning for the weakest link to go pop
@@heff520 The paratrooper roll works well... when you're not coming in that fast, on that angle. Dude looked like he was sliding in after a skydive. Give him a break, he ended up getting his leg amputated.
All these really serious comments, you know it's possible to crack a joke at this guy's expense and still respect the fact he's in the military serving the country.
Football player breaks his leg... "oh what a tragedy".. soldier breaks his leg and everyone gets funny in the comment section smh with weak ass jokes . only that "my leg" guy from spongebob comment was funny.
Right. No PLF straight forward and down. I alwayes tried to reach up high and twist my body when going forward so I would be sideways. Yup, jumper eror.
I'm not sure that he pulled a slip at all. But if he did it certainly was with the wind and not against. Couple that with a lack of a PLF and you know you're going to hurt.
Back when I was a kid, my father fell off a latter at work and I thought he would easily get up from it since he was always a strong guy. He screwed up his back and I never realized how painful it was till he broke a rib somehow from coughing... This video only shows me the pain of someone.

@@keithh1380 He didn't use the parachute landing fall (PLF). It's a technique for a paratrooper to safely land.

It happens. One of my West Point instructors told us he was on a jump and got a serious head injury, almost detached both retinas. High winds dragged him way off course. He said he spent like 2 months in a dark room in a hospital with a blindfold on recovering. Same thing happened to the Sergeant Major. These guys were highly experienced. These are not recreational parachutes, they drop much more vertically. The newer chutes are safer.
I was going to say, I have been skydiving, (first jump solo but with instructors initially holding on) and I don't remember hitting the deck that fast.

Someone, please explain to me the technical details behind why he broke his leg.
Yeah I’m trying to figure that out too
He was falling way too fast because he used the wrong parachute I believe
@@donut7907 On all of my jumps it was always... Feet, ass, head! 😅
...and it always hurt afterwards too! 😂
Day jumps were the nice ones (unless there was high wind, but mine always got canceled if it was too high). Those were the only ones where you landed lightly enough you could practically land standing up (though I never risked it, primarily because you don't know exactly what it is you'll be landing on). Most of my jumps were always at night.
Night jumps on the other hand, you dropped much faster, sometimes you couldn't even see the ground (fog), and judging your movement in relation to the ground was even more difficult.
From what I see, this guy didn't fight his angular momentum (sideways movement due to wind and flight), plus he's much higher (like he's @ Benning), so he picked up even more speed as a result. Lastly, don't ever fight the landing or stiffen up. But you know this already having bailed out of a perfectly good airplane nearly 100 times! 🤣
😉👍
@@donut7907 Is that because of all the gear you have and your really heavy? or is that how every para drop goes? It seems like recreational parachutists(?) dont drop that hard idk tho
@@VashStarwind its a different type on parachute, yes the gear etc also affect it but with these military parachutes you are falling pretty much straight down and much faster with much less control
There are SO many comments wanting to sound smart when in reality they have no idea of what happened. According to the OP, high winds pushed them far off course, and by bad luck he was pushed into a tank ditch. He ATTEMPTED to land and roll as everyone is ignorantly claiming he didn't do, but his leg got caught in the ditch and his roll ended up snapping his leg. After 12 failed surgeries, he ultimately decided to amputate his leg, and says he's doing better now with the robot one. He continues to skydive to this day.

@Drilltayler...Just for the record "Airborne Ops", along with hi winds/training accidents happen "almost" every day and night. It's something our people train for over and over again until we can do it in our sleep. Not to sound like a know it all, but some of us do have an idea of what really happened. And I am just curious as to how many Airborne daytime/nighttime static line Ops you been on highspeed...btw did anyone else eyeball a tank ditch in that training jump video? Or anywhere close to the jumper in question? I only eyeballed a single lane improvised dirt/sand trails/roads running throughout the DZ, which our recovery vehicles and military tactical/medical vehicles use. Btw we do not "attempt" to land...Once we jump, us old schoolers conduct what we call a DPLF- aka Dynamite Parachute Landing Fall. Sorry to see what happened to this jumper...but sometimes bad things happen to all of us, whether in training or whatever the case maybe.

That had to be so incredibly heartbreaking, not just physically but mentally. I’m sure you had to work really hard to get there, & not being able to deploy with your brothers sucks too, I bet the VA just gave you “stellar” care. 😢

Hello. I was a paratrooper and a medic in the 82nd ABN infantry. I have a couple dozen jumps with all this same equipment.
He was first out the door. Not guaranteed but most likely means he was an experienced jumper. His exit, and chute inspection after it deployed were both good. His fall rate and lateral movement(wind speed) were NOT fast. Some fall a little faster than others but there is NO malfunction, this was not unusually quick. On average, and trained to impact at 18-22 feet per second. If wind speed is too high they will cancel or delay the jump. This didn't look anywhere near the speed needed to scratch the jump.
He releases his rucksack just after the 2:00 mark. It is attached to a cord/lanyard on your harness around your hip. This is so the weight of your gear impacts before you, meaning you don't have the weight on you when you impact. Now at one point you see him pull his right straps down. This may or may not of been an error. If it was to slip(steer) him in a direction no problem. You do this for many reasons, for example avoiding collision with another jumper, a road on the ground, tree etc. I would even do this after I became more experienced just so i didn't have to walk as far to the 'meet-up' point, nothing wrong with this. It is an error if this is him Flaring his chute. Flaring is pulling your chute down to slow your descent. You do this around tree top level. About 50-100 feet off the ground.
If he was flaring, it was way too early. If you flare early, the air you grabbed doing it will escape causing you to speed back up. After this he didn't seem to flare at all, or near enough.
His landing was poor. You're supposed to do a PLF, parachute landing fall. It's essentially a roll. You distribute the impact around your body. I cant see if he did or not, but his knees should be bent, he should of been looking down towards his right, his shoulders and upper torso should of been turned to the right. He didn't seem to do his PLF correctly. Perhaps there was a rock, or his foot got wedged. It's hard to tell without looking at him rather than from his eyes. What I mean is, i would guess this was his main error but it also could of just been bad luck.
He did have the good sense to release his parachute retention strap from his harness. You know this because once the guy arrives to help, he pulls it away meaning it was already detached. This is excellent. Your chute can violently drag you after you land if you don't release this mechanism. The fact that he did this immediately while in so much pain is good to see---good on him, good training.
I really hope my fellow trooper recovered well and has no lasting problems from this. ALL THE WAY! thanks for reading.

I've broken bones before and I know that pain like it's still with me,I remembered the brutality of the bone touching the nerve and poking the muscle. It's not a fun experience.
You wana share what happened to you?
Yeah
Ive broken several bones before, my collar bone my arm and my leg not at the same time though. My collar bone playing intense soccer,my arm playing football and my leg doing parkour with my buddies.
Oh damn.
How long does it take for full recovery? For example your leg.
About a month,maybe more I can't remember because I was still doing some stuff that wouldn't let the bone fully heal.
Its wild how sometimes endorphins kick in immediately and you feel nothing and other times its intense agony. I broke my collarbone on a slip-n-slide (jumped from a small hill and landed on my shoulder instead of my chest) back in 99/2000 and blacked out (I only remeber the jump and then waking up at the bottom of it with my friends looking over me). When I regained consciousness my friends were like "are you ok?!?", I got up, right shoulder/arm pushed inward a few inches and I said "Guys... I think something's wrong..." when I attempted to move my shoulder backwards I could feel the bones rubbing together. There was ZERO pain and I have a pretty low pain tolerance. My mom had me take my shirt off OVER MY HEAD (which is something you definitely don't want to do) and that didnt hurt either. My dad said when he applied slight pressure it looked like the bone was going to pop through the skin. It only started to hurt about an hour or so after it happened and it was a gradual build up from "ow this hurts" to "OMFG this is excruciating". They game me a shot of Demerol in the thigh after my dad freaked out on them and I was on Cloud 9.

military chutes have a smaller surface area on purpose so that you fall faster minimizing the risk of being shot while falling. this increases the risk of injury.
@@0xsergy Hmm, it seem like one might favour a more complex design that can open out more, moments before landing.

For the people who don’t know why he broke his legs it’s because he attempted to land standing up straight instead of Spreading out his weight evenly on his fall.
I tried to say but their comments were off
But aren't you supposed to land om the balls of your feet then roll on buttocks in the event of malfunction to have lower body absorb impact and reduce risk of damaging upper body vital organs???
@@quantumxfluxmd6821 but you are supposed to tunble over in the direction of travel problem was he was only traveling straight down so he had nowhere to fall
Yeah, it’s like a jamming a finger, but with your legs, when going straight into the ground pretty fast your leg has to take some of the shock, that’s why you’re supposed to land with all your body weight so you don’t put it all on your legs and break them.
Added on with the rapid descent…. Yea that’s a recipe for broken legs…
can’t believe the amount of people commenting how you landed incorrectly when it’s obvious your descent was much faster than any other person in the video. respect to you for getting back out there with a robo leg and continuing to live your life unafraid. i thank for for people like you protecting our freedom!
I don't think that really matters. He still fucked up and didn't look to the horizon and didn't perform a landing fall like he was trained.
@unropednope4644 he was also "running with the wind". Not sure why absolutely no one had picked up on this. You can clearly see that he was facing the direction he was traveling in. At first I wasn't 100% sure of this. But, once he looks up briefly at his risers, you can tell.

mursie100 what the fuck
This reminds me of my first, and last, jump. The parachute opened up okay, and at the right time. But it was a cold and windy day. Each of us had radio communication with those guiding us from down below, doing their best to direct us to exactly where we should land. But on this cold and windy day, the ground was completely dry and rock solid. I felt that I got lucky and did not end up with a broken hip, because I guess I overdid the roll method that is used to minimize impact. I felt even more lucky when fire engines and ambulances showed up, all to help others who were not so lucky. Some of the others had ended up stuck in the trees, or had a nasty bone busting ground impact. OUCH ! Simply put, there should have been no parachuting on that day.
I really felt that, I thought nobody was gonna hear him 😳
what's worse than breaking your leg? breaking your leg in an empty big field, as your screams of agony and confusion, you're left with no response.

I met this career jumper vet who could barely walk with a cane, couldn’t carry stuff like a suitcase, couldn’t stand up for more than a few minutes, had PTSD, bipolar, was divorced, and would argue with me. Then he would tell me how much money he was making on disability(over $90k).
The toll mentally, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually is not worth the money.
Somebody tell me why this man decimated his whole ass lower body and yet people are in a war about whether milk is good or bad in the comments

Youse is still technically improper, just been slang long enough they put it in the dictionary.
Ryan Cave Translating colloquialsms nigh exclusive to English? Elaborate.
Ryan Cave Pretty sure youse came about from the need of a plural form of you, similarly to "you all/y'all" or, "you lot." It's a dialect, sure, but under standard English variants it would still be incorrect.
Injury and have to leave airborne is hell. Been there and it's like losing a family. But life gets better and you find other victories. Stay the course brother.
Stephen Mitchell Did you have to leave for good? What injury did you sustain? P.S I'm sorry to hear it

@@SpicyTexan64 what do you mean exactly?
He left the aircraft at 1.10 and landed at 2.22, this gives us 16 feet per second, which is considered as a normal landing speed for this type of parachute. He was also first to leave the aircraft and this tells us that he was the heaviest paratrooper on the plane. The conclusion is that his legs were not strong enough for his weight and/or he didn't follow the landing instructions.
He failed to conduct a proper PLF(Parachute Landing Fall). This instilled into our heads constantly. We also go through these procedures before every single jump. As for his weight, that’s not the reason he’s the first jumper.
Alexander Iacobciuc FBI
It looks like he landed in the rough. It’s hard to do a proper plf if you land on uneven ground.
your and all the replies on this is way too long for me to read
You're supposed to roll into the ground when you hit it. I've talked to jump qualified guys and you hit the ground pretty fast. If you watch he just stops then falls back. All that energy went into his body. Poor guy. One fuck up and a world of hurt.
i had strong desire for parachute jumping but now it seems to fade
Those last 30 seconds before exiting the aircraft are the worst. Dude seemed a tad ate-up. Talked in the sky, which should be common practice NEVER to do; probably did an improper PLF
QuartuvLarry it seemed like he knew something went wrong, I’m no military expert and have never served but from what i gather he got caught in a draft of some sort causing him to botch the landing. As for parachute jumping, these military parachutes are much more painful to land than a sport parachute so if you wanna go sky diving go for it, just follow instructions and you should be fine
@@QuartuvLarry why should you never talk in the sky? Is it so you dont get distracted?
My brother-in-law, who used to sailplane, says: nobody with a healthy mind jumps out of a healthy plane.
*Pussy*
Been watching this video every few years for a long time. Never knew that it ended with you losing your leg. Glad you made it out the other end in a better spot almost in one piece, almost.
As a former paratrooper you train never to land your feet facing forward, he was supposed to turn his hip left or right and on fall on either side accordingly. Either way, I hope future troops can learn from this and I hope he’s recovered.
he would have also gave away his whole troops position if they were going in at night
matt shine No mortal man would have the discipline to suffer that one in silence.
What do you mean ‘feet facing forwards’ I’m trying to imagine landing sideways and it doesn’t end well 😂

I’m a licensed recreational skydiver so we fly rectangular chutes which are very different but I’ve had my share of hard landings due to my own error and inexperience, the force of a hard landing can be serious or even fatal. I’ve had nothing close to an injury like yours. I hope you’re doing well mentally and physically after this. Thank you for your service sir!

That's about it. Was at the Corregidor Jump zone at Ft. Campbell and picked one guy off the deck. Both his main and reserve failed. He hit a pine tree and bounced to the deck. He was back at work in 48 hrs.
Yep - I was stationed at Cambell too. If I never see thap pace again, I'll be perfectly ok with that.
it's to bad he can't just stand by a med pack for a bit and heal

DAIadvisor nah deadman profile... hell he can have late call
There's a part in the book Currahee where the men are practicing landing by jumping off an elevated platform, One of the men believes he has broken his leg and informs the commanding officer who instructs him to continue with the drill and jump again. "After the next jump, it was clearly visible that he had broken his leg."
How is this career endi.... oh
This video was reviewed by 18 of the best parachutists from 7 different countries, including both military and non military personnel. After 18weeks of deliberating they came to the conclusion that 'he need some milk'.

Thank you for recording and uploading a first person view of a Airborne drop.
Feet and knees together, slip into the wind, looks like he was going with the wind, Rangers Lead the Way! 1/75
Right. No PLF straight forward and down. I alwayes tried to reach up high and twist my body when going forward so I would be sideways. Yup, jumper eror.
I'm not sure that he pulled a slip at all. But if he did it certainly was with the wind and not against. Couple that with a lack of a PLF and you know you're going to hurt.
Back when I was a kid, my father fell off a latter at work and I thought he would easily get up from it since he was always a strong guy. He screwed up his back and I never realized how painful it was till he broke a rib somehow from coughing... This video only shows me the pain of someone. I know you obviously recovered since it 9 years ago, but I hope you stay alright out there wherever you are.
He did not recover, he got the leg amputated after 8yrs or something.
