First of all, I walked away after the crash with only a minor bruise(not even scratches).
Kössen, Austria 13.08.2022
Inattention and routine was my main mistake on this last flight. Both reserves got caught up and i didn't got them out. Impact was softend by the Harness-protector.
Hope you can learn from this video.
Happy to be alive, happy to be unhurt.
Fly safe ;-)

(Not so) Fun Fact: I was standing at the landing site that day, waiting for first ever real schooling flight in Kössen to happen and that's when I saw you coming down like that. Running over to you as one of the first, I was expecting the worst but turns out you were more than lucky. Actually went up and did my very first proper flight that afternoon and it was amazing. Super glad you were fine.

@DUKEisALIVE Жыл бұрын

@@raphaeleymann If you have to throw a reserve in an auto rotation you need to throw it straight down. This way it has the highest chance of opening before you catch it and the lowest chance of ending up in your glider (because you throw it close to your body). Of course this is just the theory no matter how you throw it, it will most likely end up caught. Biggest takeaway i have from this video is: When pulling in your reserve dont let go until you actually have it all the way out and opening.

@termikax7189 Жыл бұрын

In these kind of situation , the only good way to throw the reserve is toward the back end of the wing and posibly up. So , you need to look at the horizont , find the back end of the wing and bomb out the reserve with maximum power. Only these way you can create the environent for reserve to open and not finish in the lines or …

Coming from the military MFF/HALO/HAHO side, with 300+ body armor, NVGs, weapon + ruck (full wall locker we call them) jumps - If the corners of your canopy are starting to curl in like that, you're encountering some unusual wind activity. Based on how cloudy the sky looks, and the mountainous terrain, I would say it's highly likely there was strong crosswind gusts taking place. If the corners of the canopy are curling, STOP inputting aggressive turns! Let your chute settle down, and reassess the winds you're dealing with...
