Music makes me feel like I should be 3 pills deep on X tucked away in some hole in the wall deep house gay bar, somewhere in Sweden

I counted five cartons of beer. Great video for showing what can happen when you lose altitude awareness.

Guess that's one way to get the most free-fall for your buck.

Wow!! I was pretty much in total shock while watching this video. Both of those guys are lucky to be alive, and they probably know it.

Think this is gonna get reccomended to everyone soon.

nice job and thanks for sharing. after initial lack of height awareness you both nailed it from there on! nice! (from NZ).

For those of you that say "but base-jumpers deploy way lower than this, whats the prob?). A skydiver rig is more likely to fail than a base rig, so you need the extra time in case you need the reserve.

I haven't seen these mucht bad spellling en a lung time.

this song made me pregnant

Great video, thanks for uploading.

Just learn from the video and be safe !!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, good video. Love the music choice!

@hanphilip PLF=Parachute Landing Fall It's a landing technique used to absorb and distribute the energy of the fall through multiple points by landing with feet and knees close together, slightly bent, chin to chest, going into a roll to dissipate the momentum and prevent worse injuries due to hard landings.

Thanks for video

Thanks for posting. Very interesting. I wish I understood the protocol more though. I'm only 2 jumps in. Looks like a lot to learn.

Wow guys, nice.. Good learning video. Don't make that mistake again. Glad you're alright.

I'm glad you could share your life story with everyone.

I wish more folks would man up and admit/post their mistakes online. If nothing else, it serves as a reminder of how easy it is to get into a bad situation and how you really need to watch out for yourself and your fellow jumper. Stay safe up there--

That downplane at low altitude was creepy as hell...

Everything. Fabric, bridle length, PC, harness, venting. Go BASE with a skydiving rig and see how many jumps you get before impact.

Lesson #1 - Stay altitude aware! Going from a 182 DZ to an Otter DZ back to a 182 DZ, the skydive is over before you know it. I got a Ditter as a backup, maybe I need two! Thanks for posting!!!

I've seen the video where a wingsuiter makes a jump, but had his emergency handles zipped up inside his suit. This absolutely tops that. They should be grounded or limited to solo jumps. They got caught up in entertaining each other.

My instructor used to tell me the CYPRES mucks up the gene pool.

Does anyone else agree that was not 400 feet on the downplane cutaway? Looks more like 100-200 max. Either way, they are stupid but in the end (sadly, just the very end) they knew what to do for the best chances.

it's simple. these two are uber-lucky to be alive.

@skydiver5975 uh, in our club they teach to NOT unstow brakes. In that case front canopy is in full glide and moves faster, it can end in downplane or cause lines to cross. And if reserve deploys itself by malfunction and you already have brakes open in main canopy, then you must keep brakes within the level they should be before opening.

nice biplane

Some rigger just made a boat payment.

Cool music

i had one low pull due to a number of factors, swinging by 1250 and it scared the daylights out of me, and once u are in that situation u realise how fast things can go wrong without taking proper care. they teach us all our sfety stuff for a reason. why would anyone with a brain deliberately pull low, i dont want to kill myself and do damage to the sport i love, but it is easy to get complacent and we should try learn from vids like this. glad everyone was ok! lots of beer was required im sure!

@Skydvr74 You could go with either option. Although if the canopy is receiving input to steer to the preferred landing area, whether the risers or the toggles are causing any directional changes...the result should be the same (assuming you don't yank the toggles to perform aggressive canopy maneuvers). What kind of separation do you mean?

Sums everything up with "basically just being stupid." haha.

nothing more scary than the ground coming up

was there any particular reason for the low pulls? Or just an accident? I went real low one time on accident. One of the only times I was thankful not to have an aad because I probably would have had 2 out as well.

you guys having to much fun out there;-)

Incredible.

The song is called "Are you Ready?" by Magdalene's Dream.

thenks for the video! the name of the track by the way?

@Skydvr74 I suppose a collapse of the rear is possible if it bites in the "right" way, assuming the front leads as the main accelerator. Both in a downplane seems less likely since they'd likely have to travel in opposite directions if the gap was to remain between the canopies, thus creating two forces pulling apart from each other... in any case, were creating a complex physics scenario with many factors that may influence the outcome. I get what you mean, & tnx for clarifying. Well, safety1st

Awesome song choice, really messed up situation. But hey, we all get to choose our own life, and if you wanted a close call you sure got one!

You know this is the internet right? WE CANT SEE YOU.

2000' next to his buddy< should have put in a hard track!

@NYCEmpire , The manual my DZ gives to the AFF students. Compiled by standard manuals, plus two senior jump masters w/about 30 years of jumping experience, each. Hopefully, I'll never be in the position. Not un-stowing either toggles seems to make sense to me. Anything that could pull the two chutes apart, could create a down-plane.

Turn the effing music OFF, and turn up the Screaming:O

yes very helpful when learning

at least, the tandem instructor was responsible deploing the parachute at good altitude. Good video, showing how some skydivers take some risky behaviors... and it could end in tragedy. By the way, anyone knows what is the song used in this video? Thanks

I just watched it again and it makes sense. A tandem and two solos go out the door. The tandem opens at 5,000. The two solos end up going too low, below 1,000 feet, both have their reserves inflated automatically, one rides it to the ground with a stable biplane, the other has a down plane and cuts it away. No injuries Not sure what I was thinking when I wrote the earlier comment. A voice over or more details in the description would make things clearer for those who don't know what's going on.

@ItalianPolishGuy It stands for a Parachute Landing Fall. It consits of a 5-contact landing. To perform a PLF, the skydiver should place their feet together, bend their knees slightly, and roll over to one side upon touching the ground. (Ankle, Leg, Thigh, Hip, Shoulder). This will move the weight of the fall over most the skydiver's body.

i don't understand at witch altitude u must deploy your parachute? in meters if you can tell me please?

that was amazing.

HOLY SMOKES!!!! I have never seen a bi-plane canopy filmed by the person actually experiencing it before... Good to know that both guys were allright, and they will probably remember to pull at the proper altitude the next couple of jumps :o))

Skydiver's motto..."Either do something or die" !!!

was this jump done on purpose to demonstrate what you not have to do? it s a good summary!

asking as a non skydiver, does the cut away canopy not get watched by the others as they float down having a good idea of where it went.... or does that main chute usually blow so far away, it's not found?...thanks

Loss of altitude awareness. Cause of most skydiving fatalities.

I am a layman in this field... please let me know if the reserve gets automatically deployed upon falling to a certain height?....

ohhh alright thanks for explaining that for me

@Skydvr74 You sir, are 1/2 right. But what is beyond you, is on page 31 of the SIM (Skydiver's Information Manual): in case of a biplane, that's one thing you could do, or you could use the risers. I agree, foolish...but they acknowledge it. Perhaps they learned. Quick to strip and judge you are, but take it easy :D

Is it so hard to buy audible altimeter?

@rrr1sportrider turn as little as possible. there is a danger of the biplane turning into a downplane too low to cut away if you oversteer. land downwind if need be.

whats this track called?? great song!

@neomuttley Which manual? I know the up to date USPA.com SIM states to unstow (page 31).

Let me get this. If you pull at too low altitude your main canopy will break due to increased speed. And you have two reserve parachutes?

I think I don't understand exactly what happend. Why did the first skydiver opend the reserve parachute? And why does the second one open both of them at the same time?

Nice work on the description. You might save a life or two with this video.

cutaway at 400ft, thats gotta be pretty fucken scary

@204shooter I believe your instructor would be well within his rights too. I hear they both got grounded fo a month over this.

Critizim accepted but be nice about it or I will remove the video

having to cut away at 400 feet would scare the hell out of me, but at least there's an open canopy at all times. a hard landing with a PLF under a reserve is much better than landing a downplane (which may be the last thing you ever do). expensive lesson, anyway!!

@neomuttley I suppose both methods are alright since the USPA acknowledges both and your local DZ teaches the risers.

well done in saving your ass's. you survived and learn a lesson. Nice one on cutting away the down-plane so fast. Beer and a roasting from your dz owner/safety officer, safe Jumps guys.

omg that was crazy!!

WOW!

Why did the guy shake the jaw of the other diver???

A Bi-plane is awful - These guys were friggin lucky. Their stupidity was staggering. Was this a dare or what??

And just how exactly should I know or care what color you are?

haha kick ass guys! This was a "first to pull buys beers" right? (If you survive) lol

Question from a non skydiver- how does the auto deployment on the reserve know the mains not deployed?

I had a biplane on my 25th jump. It was cause the rsl on the student rig i was using got caught on the risers when the main deployed. It was a pretty scary situation.

God, this was scary to watch as it showed a HUGE lack of altitude awareness.

That was awesome. well funny crack

@Steaksngainers abbreviation for parachute landing fall.

Damn, Our CCI would have us grounded indefinitely for pulling a stunt like that.......

Hey, this is a 4 month old comment but I figure I might as well reply anyway. Pretty sure it is all one jump, so the video makes sense as is. It just keeps switching back and forth from the red suit's camera to the green suit's camera. What makes you think otherwise? (maybe I missed it)

@tuttt99 Not True, No Excuses for their behavior but most accidents are caused from low turns. ADDs have helped with loss of altitude awareness. Two out simply means that the skydivers deployed, but too late. a simple ADD fire would result in one out and problay a hurt ego.

why can't you just cut off your main when they're both deployed? will it get tangeled in the reserve? (I'm a beginner, only did 1 AFF jump)

the absolute lowest ive ever been under canopy by was 1600. i dont really make a habit of that because a highly loaded crossbrace canopy is more prone to a mal so i like the etra decision altitude. yeah some people go low and that is their perogative, and im glad you dont. one of my coaches once told me. "id rather have 45 secs of valuable canopy time than 3 secons of freefall," which is so true. if you wanna pull low, base is the way to go. those, unlike skydive canopies, are made to open fast

Because a BASE jump is almost always subterminal and BASE rigs are even more reliable than a skydiving reserve.

That was epic, that downplane was anus mauling! Good job keep it up needs to be more dangerous!

first of all, i threw a camera on my head at 130 jumps so having a camera doesnt mean you are an instructor...besides, theres a difference between a tandem instructor and a camera flyer. BTW i never said that they didnt know what they were doing, i just said that they were dumb. im just curious, are you an avid jumper or did you do a tandem or two?

where does the d-bag go during deployment?

@rrr1sportrider Dude don't ask me I've only done 2 jumps!! LOL I'd think just follow landing procedure, especially if you're not sure up there.

Naughty naughty very naughty

@rrr1sportrider 800m or 8000 cuz 4000m is the jump alt

You can't kill someone who is already dead.. A Reserve deploying into a Main can collapse both chutes. It's a roll of the dice, w/no control by the jumper. Very foolish way to risk One's life. BTW, my manual states not to unstow either brakes in a stable Bi-plane. Rear-riser turns, no flare, then PLF. I was kicking myself for popping @2500 last weekend (alti malfunction). These guys make me look good!!

crazy

Could not let this one slip by because you are wrong about the front brakes. Read the SIM Paragraph 5.1.E 3. Stable biplane a. Unstow the brakes on the front canopy and recover gently to full flight. b. Leave the brakes stowed on the rear canopy. c. Steer the front canopy only as necessary to maneuver for a safe landing. d. Use minimal control input as necessary for landing. e. Perform a parachute landing fall.

🤯💥😳

wow,!

You should have gone over that in your AFF. Stable biplane is best steered and not chopped.
