A skydiver on a 3-way jump accidentally rubbed his rig against the door frame while climbing out of the plane (Cessna 185), which popped his closing pin and caused a horseshoe malfunction. The d-bag remained in the container for most of the skydive while he was belly flying and sit flying, but it was eventually extracted from the container once he rolled onto his back - that's when shit hits the fan.
He managed to deploy his pilot chute and get his main canopy open, but the d-bag and bridle had wrapped around the lines, which prevented the slider from coming down the lines and caused a slight right turn to the canopy.
The premature opening happened around 7,000 feet and he decided to fly over the DZ before cutting away at 2,500 feet. He landed his reserve without incident (purposefully downwind).
Remember: it’s always good practice to rotate your rig inwards towards the center of the door while climbing out to avoid rubbing your rig against the door.

"It's flying... where am I going to drop it so I can find it..." I know that's he was thinking.
Yeah I was wondering at first why the hell is he waiting so long but then I remembered how much those fucking canopies cost and it hit me! Lol
@@ib1ray I have literally done this . I had a line over that was flying just like this and flew it to a point where i figured it was going to land on the DZ an then cutaway.
People need to start microchipping their canopies. That way we're guaranteed to find it afterwards.
Even if it's not in one piece.
@@ib1ray He was at 7500. He had time to think.
Freefly requires the rig to be in proper order, from the pin, the closing tabs, the pilot-chute in the pocket properly, etc.
What happened to doing two full flares to test airworthiness?
I thought that came chech occurred after the "is it square" check?
Dont tell me - too small a main in a Mirage.
Been there done that, twice. Standing.
I actually thought he was going to land his malfunction and then cut-away. The guy above sit-flying could have got badly involved with lines around his legs making for a very unhappy Christmas.
hi bro. why they call it horseshoe?
Of COURSE it's the guy wearing the Santa hat, he's OBVIOUSLY not a careful person who worries at all about FOD or entanglement.
Some skydivers are all about risk instead of being respectful of the extreme risks they're already taking, and care nothing about risk-aversion .
If one of your friends is like this, and you're truly they're friend, then start being willing to decline jumping with them until they get their attitude sorted out. Otherwise, they may literally kill you or paralyze you.
How would you like looking your children in the face in your hospital bed, and tell them "I knew I shouldn't jump with Darren, but he was my friend, and his peer-pressure meant MORE to me than my ability to be a father to you did."
I think the skydiving community needs to come to terms with the fact that other peoples safety decisions DO INDEED impact your own personal safety.
It's easy to think you're a Safety God, that no matter what others do you can be safe. That's just not true.

How was this a horseshoe malfunction!? Looks more like a "line-over". The reason why he has waited is to see if he can clear it!
You got some things wrong.
Robert Vaughn There was a hesitation on the main canopy bag before it let the canopy out. For a few seconds only. Potentially due to that naughty move while pulling the main handle.
The horseshoe malfunction is what caused his chute to open itself at nearly 8k feet, almost wiping his friend out. Long before the line-over is in play
@@AdrianTarlev Not even a line over I believe. Looks more like the pilot chute and bridle has gone through the lines and stuck in the slider stopping the slider coming down and deforming the canopy.
He tried to get closer to the field to cut it. He was super high.
Looks Like Ashburton NZ
00:37 why the F did he pull with that guy above him!? 😮
he didn’t. the container was open while in the sit at 0:15 probably rubbed rig against something or someone on exit
watching it in 1/4 speed it could also be a loose bridle catching air and pulling the pin.
Why did he almost open his chest strap? And why did he cut away so late?
Opening the chest strap allows the canopy to fly more efficiently and lets you lean forwards more for a better landing. Cut away late since it wasn't a particularly high speed malfunction and he didn't want to lose his canopy I guess
GFXZombie Ohh alright thanks for the information! 😄
i thought the same. It's allways a gamble. You could lose a few grand (canopy) or not and the bet is your life. There's allways a change that reserve is going to malfunction and low altitude is bad.. Allways wondering, why don't just use some tiny flat gps tags on main canopy? I'll cutaway as high as possible (fuck few grand, I love my life more) if it is necessary cutaway anyway.
@@jussivalter Yeah, I wondered too why ppl weren't using gps.
@@updatedotexe because they are expensive and require charging. Plus they probably use batteries and if they leak, that's corrosive goo on your main and possibly rig.
I have seen people put GPS tags in their deployment bags though.
Why did he not release his toggles?
Allan Hansen I wanted to ask the same question !
@@ErsanYolcu I dont think he ever intended to land that canopy because this line-over is pretty bad an no need to rick it when he has his reserve and a lot of altitude. He was at 7.6k feet meaning he had a lot of time to direct the canopy to the airfield and make it easier to pick up after he cuts away
Why did he land downwind by purpose?
Yeah I dunno about that one.
dude seriously!!!??? why wait so long to cut away?
He would have never found his main again...
He watched Point Break.
@@smthnew861 No. The parachute wasn't fully inflated. You can't land safely like that.
@@smthnew861 hi bro. why they call it horseshoe?
When you guys say you "cut away a parachute..." Do you literally cut strings & ropes or are you releasing latches?
It seems (to me) mortifying having a problem with a parachute. Hell, jumping out out of a plane seems very mortifying to me!
The cut away is an easy release system where you pull a chest handle with two cables connecting the main risers to the rig. The 3-ring release system makes quick work with little effort.
@@nebbrown2627 Thanks for the explanation. That seems much safer than a knife (and faster).
Just had my third chop this weekend. And while yes the idea of it is a bit scary, the idea of not landing safely is more scary.
Get rid of the mal and get a nice reserve above your head. Land safely.
Blue skies.
@@theginganinjaofficial Yes, good point! I just bought a little plane, I'll be wearing a parachute (hopefully) I'll NEVER use it, though.
@@cluelessbeekeeping1322 I'd much rather be jumping sport rigs. Bail outs only have 1 chute and are usually rounds.
You should become a jump pilot :)
Did you disconnect RSL before cutaway ?
.....any day now....y the wait????
Lower cut away helps to be able to locate the main.
A pin check could have avoided this...PIN CHECKS PEOPLE...NO ONE IS TOO GOOD FOR A PIN CHECK!!!~~~
Description says he rubbed the door frame on the way out.
Even if it’s a pin check or he went rubbed against the door on exit there’s still fault there...
@sinclear savior or could cause a PC in tow. Better idea would be to be mindful of your rig when exiting.
@@theginganinjaofficial Agreed. Premature deployment is better then no deployment at all.
Defective parachutes will cost your life.
. why they call it horseshoe?
Why did he cut away? Seemed to be flying pretty good no?
The real question is why didn't he cutaway before
No
He's looking for the 3 S's:
Is the canopy square
Are the lines straight
Is the slider down
If the canopy cannot be controlled, it can't be landed safely... cut it away
@@robertvaughn7036 Well he must have really REALLY bad eyesight then.🤭
sorry, I'm new, can someone tell me what's going on thru this? sorry
He rubbed his rig against the door frame while climbing out of the plane which popped open his closing pin and caused a horseshoe malfunction. The d-bag remained in the container for most of the skydive while he was belly flying and sit flying, but it was eventually extracted from the container once he rolled onto his back.
He managed to deploy his pilot chute and get his main canopy open, but the d-bag and bridle had wrapped around the lines, which prevented the slider from coming down the lines and caused a slight right turn to the canopy, leaving him no choice but to cutaway.
thanks Sheep, your answer taught me a lot, and is obvious when you know what's transpiring. at 60, I've always been fascinated with the sport, and admittedly too fearful to participate. these vids help me vicariously, and being able to spot the mishaps increases my interest!
I'm not a skydiver, I fly paragliders, but my question is, did he really need to cutaway? It looked like other than a little yaw in the glide from the wrap, he had control of the canopy and was on a pretty well defined descent. Could that not be landed with a little side-swipe or swoop'ish landing? Just curious.
No, the slider did not come down, so the canopy is not fully open. It would be a bit like you landing with big ears, but with no way of letting them go, plus the skydiving canopy has a lot less lift compared to a paraglider :)
The Floof I am not sure don't quote me on it but I think that if the slider is not down at least half way you can't land the canopy.
Why on earth deploy with someone clearly so close and above?
*THIS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF WHY ALL ALTIMETERS SHOULD PROVIDE INFORMATION OF YOUR DESCENT RATE IN FEET PER SECOND.*
I'd say or meters, but fps is more distinguishably accurate, in the same way F>C in temperature is more distinguishably accurate.
Reasoning: if you're under canopy you should know what your EXACT rate of descent is. Under a partially MALFUNCTIONING canopy you ABSOLUTELY should be able to gauge if you can land it safely or not.
I even believe it should go one step further. They should have similar to a glider/PPF/wtc, where it beeps based on your descent rate. Maybe 1 beep every 10 feet.
Прыжок веры
Kiwi boogy haha chuuuuurrrrr
Get rid of the RSL/Skykook.
lawfreefly why?
Jordan Tehero If you fall away in a spin than the reserve static line could deploy in a spin, possibly causing line twists.
@@MrSmith-ip7iu If you have alt, you have time to disconnect RSL. If you don't have alt, deploying in a spin is preferable to not deploying at all.
У клоунлв всегда так.
Of COURSE it's the guy wearing the Santa hat, he's OBVIOUSLY not a careful person who worries at all about FOD or entanglement.

cant even land his reserve standing....
?
