- This was very very lucky and we are very happy it ended well. However, this could have been a very tragic accident. This is very preventable, Do gear checks before plane and before exit. Check each other before door opens, make sure you have a tight closing loop, be mindful of space and what your rig may touch, but most of all.......look out for each other.
This scary video is a reminder to LOOK, CHECK, WATCH yourself and others. Be safe Blue Skies!

It's not just Amie's close call. It was everyone's close call.
Annie are you OK... Are you OK Annie...
Yup

Yes the plane wouldve went down for sure.
I had a similar incident as a jump pilot in a 182 way back 20ish years ago. Static line student with one jumper per pass, first guy out that spent the climb in student slot against the instrument panel. As he rotated around to get his feet out, I noticed something wrong with his student rig but since I only had a few jumps, I couldn't place what I saw wrong in that quick second as I was trying to setup the plane for the long student exit. I thought the Jumpmaster would notice if anything was wrong on the equipment check (pilots: remember you're still the PIC!!! It's not "not my problem" even if it is a rig issue). As he's climbing out to the full hang position at the crook of the strut and wing, which he luckily got all the way to, I notice what is wrong is his reserve pin cover flap and the pin is working loose, especially as it rubs against the door. Right as he got in the hang, the reserve popped open! I still can see that pilot chute springing out. Knowing that tails getting ripped off is a thing like the Australian Caravan accident, my hands actually went to my door and the seatbelt as the plane jerked 20 degrees to the right with the opening shock since I was sure the tail was going to be ripped off. Turned out he missed the tail too like in this situation and and I was quickly looking to see if the Jumpmaster had noticed I freaked out and was going to bail on them 🤣 He was too busy watching the now double deployment that the student did a great job of cutting away the main on his first ever jump. The DZ owner even gave him a second jump that day since he asked.
Thanks for posting this, not only does it help safety, it also show exactly how he missed the tail all those years ago.
yeah bro . we got trained to look at everyone else gear . as you say especially with no door a loose piece of canopy can fill up with air and pull the side of the aircraft out
Wow ...
Close call for sure. Did you consider stomping on the right rudder pedal?
How the fkk that missed the tail is a miracle
Seriously. You can see it initially fell, before inflating, which meant it pulled her downwards, but given the physics, the parachute wants to be above your head, even if that means pulling you back up. You can see less than 20 feet past the plane she is pulled back up from the speed and lift, high enough that if she'd been pulled straight back she would've gone into the tail
Everyone on that plane including Annie was given a second chance at life. Happy Birthday 🥳
It is really sad to see such a thing happening, we are all humans and inevitably we will make mistakes. Some mistakes worse than others tho, this one could have cost few lives and let many others in sorrow. The sad part is that this is something VERY dangerous, extremely EASY to avoid and still we see every other week a video like this. Gary Speer explained really well how to avoid it, I just cant agree on the "entertainment side", there is absolutely nothing entertaining about it, but thanks for posting it and bringing awareness to the community. Please people, stay safe.
I have seen two parachutes deploy from inside the plane, both happened so fast that I could barely begin to move before it was over. I have also prevented two others from deploying. Awareness is critical.
In my opinion all guys inside are responsible for it, sad that nobody react on that situation. Im a pilot in polish drop zone and I can't understand that other jumpers or even pilot did nothing. They are kind of criminals for me. Hope not meet this team ever. Shame sad stupid. That should never happened and left plane.
2 jumps in one flight and a 30 min canopy ride. Most bang for the buck there!
Had an old rag wing 170. Girl, with a too short static line, jumped, her pilot chute & bridle went into that outboard gap between the horizontal stabilizer & elevator. Nose went up about 45 decrees but I got it back down. Bridle snatched loose, opened okay. If it can happen, it'll happen.
The song choice is killing me right now 🤣 On a serious note I am glad nobody was hurt. She was extremely lucky. Always look out for your friends. Gear checks are not always on yourself scan your friends.
At my local DZ everyone pin checked everyone else going up.
Never had a premature, or a reserve ride. 3100 jumps.
what song was it?
Friday Freakout material
...superb one
This is why I just watch you guys do all these things in you tube and relax!!!....;p
Scary! I had my ADD malfunction as I was sliding into the door in a Cesna My pilot grabbed the
Pilot chute and sidesliped the plane in one quick move which slammed the door down on my legs, a couple bruised shins were far better than what could have happened.
Thank goodness she cleared the plane!
I look at the view from the plane to the Ground and still remember my jump and as if it was a dream :) I saw the Ground only after a free fall, the parachute opened almost immediately, as we flew through the clouds. The view from there from the sky is just fantastic))
Glad that did not become a tragic situation. Surprised that "Amie" didn't react to the sensation of her harness/container suddenly feeling more relaxed as the main container opened and the bag dropped to the A/C floor. A pause in her climb out to check into that sensation would have allowed jumpers 3 & 4 to become aware and restrain her from continuing to climb out & capture the bag. If that was to be a 3-way or more exit, those behind her were slow to be moving into their exit position which kept them from intervening. On the entertainment side, good editing, sound track & funny selected freeze frames.
Yes this was so close to being a very tragic end. This happened so fast. I would say this was the best outcome considering. I’m glad my friends are okay and the plane is fine. Looks like someone is now looking for a new canopy lol
I didn't feel the "lightened"sensation you're speaking of. 🤔
@@TommyPusztai not sure what's suspicious about the editing. This was taken from all 4 of our videos. And no one was actively trying to destroy the plane. We'd like to have that plane for more jumps.
Just wondering who bought beer that day?
Looked like jumper 3 did capture the bag and threw it out!?
From the view point of 50+ years as a parachutist, military and civilian and Civilian jump pilot
I see so many safety issues
I would like to see the investigation on this.
The old phrase, a better equipment check and maintenance could have prevented this accident comes to mind
That would scare the hell out of me! I swear it looks like the parachute was going to catch the tail wing! LMAO
Wow that's the closest I have ever seen you the bag and line stretch and she still hanging on to the strut major close call could of taken the plane out glad this one just a high canopy ride enjoying the view. Blue skies
Two years later, the skydiver hits the ground.
Awesome Reaction 2:06 glad it turned out well.
Someone was looking out for her, that's for sure. Ripped that canopy right in half. Beer!
If it did thia would not happen at all.
I had no idea what happened other than the chute deploying. I wasn't sure after the first run through of the video but the comment section has never failed me. I thought I initially that once the jumper actually got out on the crook that the pat/swipe of the other person's hand somehow deployed it. After scanning the comments I believe I got the gist of what actually happened.
It boggles my mind how many of these videos there are online. I've seen several similar to this one where the jumper misses tail by what appears to be meer millimeters. The more I watched the video the more confident I've become that this lady had some divine help. Looks like she went straight through the horizontal stabilizer. Unbelievable 🙏🏻
Happy birthday
At 2:04, yea, that would have been my take on that one too mate...
Cheeses!
Used to work with a guy that was an airborne in army. He was an older guy that said on his first jump his buddies convinced him to trip some old fashioned lsd. I can't imagine, lol.
Seen this many times now and it still perplexes me how her rig did not get caught up in the horizontal stabilizer/tail. If it had then that plane was going down.
That's why everybody should check each other's rigs, in the plane.
We all used to do that, in the group I used to dive with.
How was the canopy "damaged"? You're talking about the primary chute?
I did the same move in my first jump. Yikes.
Very very very lucky, thankfully. Even though probably all of us jumping are aware of the hazard, these types of events really reaffirm it.
Could you share what was the cause? Loose (too long) closing loop? Frailed? Was the pin checked before the jump (either by Amie or by a fellow jumper)?
I checked the pin twice before getting on the plane and the loop was not loose.
@@dangerous502 Thanks for the reply! So the hypothesis is that you've pushed the pin out while rotating/getting out I assume?
@@damjandakic7912 that's what I think had to happen. I did feel my handles and my flap as I always do when we were all moving around to get ready for exit. I did have gloves on and it's possible I didn't feel it.
That's a whole case!
There are so many questions here.... One.... HOw did no one on the interior prior to opening the door did not everyone single check the person in front of them.... That was not a partial that was a full dislodge inside the plane.... HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
NOr the guy behind nor the pilot saw a fully breached pack... COME ON.... WTF here guys!
That guy in the door behind Amie was a real piece of work. Adrenaline is not all it takes to do dangerous activities.
IKR Why didn't he let her know her shoot was hanging out?
@@johnnyveganite9141 I'm gonna take a wild stab and say because he had no idea, It was 'No Gear Check' Monday after all !!
@@HonestJunkie 😜👍
He has thrown out her shoot. It´s a crime!
Dayum! That was close.
Wow. Pure luck!
Is that Perris Valley?
How did that happen? 😅 I am still a student (24 jumps)... Why did the bag fall out? He forgot to check his gear on exit, but what did he do to loose his pin holding the bag? 😅
bad closing loop is seems
Bonus days for all!
Haha, the blue man knew what was up and tossed that baggy out. Not canceling this jump run ~ Yeet!
Why the hell did he not hold on to bag and bring her back in plane?
@@tenilenorton3349 you don't mess with pilot chutes on exit. If she & the bag was in the plane, then yes hold on to it and close the door. But she was already outside the plane, he did the right thing. If Pilot chute inflated it will have enough force to pull the main and her body out of the plane, also get rapped around the tail of the plane.
This jumper needs to go and thank her rigger for a working reserve and apologize to Pilot for nearly taking out his plane. And a round of beer for everyone involved.
The look on the face of the strut-hanger says it all. Could have been a total wipe-out for several people there. Fortunately we have some great footage to remind jumpers of the importance of a pin check. As a former jumper and jump pilot, such stuff is scary to see.
Could have been the pin, could have started w the pilot chute coming out, could have been a horseshoe that started it.
This also looks like a case of poor packing based on how fast the canopy opened. Like the slider was collapsed or toggles not stowed. Very dangerous
No free fall for her.
I’m so, but so,so amazed about how people don’t think about what they do, they just don’t know what they do, they don’t take time to think about the consequences of taking things for granted and most of all how stupid they are !…..🤷🏻♂️
Accidents do not occur in a vacuum, they occur due to negligence or ignorance or both at the same time,…or just because plain stupidity!
Common sense is the LESS sense that now days people don’t seem to have ! PERIOD.
how hard can it be to check the pin?
Minha nossa!🇧🇷
Can somebody explain what happened here...did the chute automatically deployed??
Its not the same, but this reminds me during my aff lvl 4. When almost at altitude we got message that weather changed and aff was no longer allowed to jump,but the non aff were. So my instructor and another aff student with two instructors stayed in the plane to go down and land again. For anyone that ever landed with a skydiveplane, you know those pilots are crazy and sometimes beat the jumpers to the ground. Anyways at 1300 feet he was still diving fast enough trigger both our student- AAD's. That pilotchute popped right into my instructors face, giving him a scratch on his chin.
That's why AAD's are meant to be turned off when you stay in the plane and after the door is closed again. The instructors should have been very much aware of that! To be honest here (since it is a safety related accident), this does not shine a very bright light on the quality of your AFF instructors.
@@grazzling I don't know how the meeting went after that accident, but my intstructor said in his 8 years of instructing he never had the plane land again with passengers once in the air. it's just super rare occasion, and i suppose he just didnt think about the aad at all.
@@timmyingelbrecht6977 Strange. Might be a difference in what is communicated as the point of no return. At my dropzone, a student was only required to jump after putting their feet out of the door at jump height. At any point before that, they could tell the instructors that they don't want to jump and would then land with the plane with at least one instructor staying with them. This was not very common, but it did happen occasionally (I did it myself at Level 3, actually, since I had second thoughts about not being focused enough on that particular day).
@@grazzling hmm, i do remember one girl that didnt want to jump her final level and she came back with plane and instructor as well. i was not on it though. you are right.
Ahhh the always overlooked value of a pin check.....
Lot’s of shit here.
Don’t think a pin check would have prevented this, look at how she turns to get out. Rather than swing both feet out, she pivots onto her left knee, which swings her rig against the pilots seat. She big time rubs the back of the rig against the pilot seat and it looks like this rub is what opened things.
This is what happened to me many years ago, caused a horseshoe on exit. I was last out on a trail plane for a formation load. I heard the seatbelt buckle bouncing against the outside of the plane as I came forward, and was so focused on getting it back in during exit that I turned wide and rubbed my rig into the pilot seat. Dove out, saw white lines over my right shoulder, thought no, didn’t really see that, looked over the left and saw the same, then managed to toss my pilot chute. Bag lock, some stand up looking at my pilot chute, and chop.
Also, notice that the guy behind her, blue jump suit and helmet, sees the bag on the floor of the airplane and instead of containing it and getting her back actually throws the bag out of the plane. Lucky that the tail sliced the canopy. She could have got caught on the tail or even been pulled into and destroyed that half of the tail and killed her, maybe destroyed the plane.
Easy to second guess, having time to think rather than instant response, but he probably should have contained the bag and got her back in, or at least held it until she got off the airplane to keep it out of the tail. I don’t think tossing it out with neither her or the pilot knowing what was going on was the best option.
You can see the pilots eyes in the video from the guy hanging the strut. Pilot was busy with the plane, didn’t look to see what was going on til her canopy was going through the tail, so no chance of pushing the tail out of the way.
Opinions?
Wow.
How was that overlooked by everyone on the ground, prior to loading the plane, and or in the plane prior to deplaning? In the military it’s check, check, check, and check again.
Very lucky indeed....
It probably happened on the plane by the pin being dislodged, it’s unlikely that she would have gotten on the plane with her D-bag hanging out...
Who needs endcells? Insta-downsize!
Oooh, besides narrowly missing the tail herself, the chute did in fact briefly snag on the tail. That could have ended very poorly indeed!
Don't even go looking for the main 😢😂
very lucky!!!if the skydiver hit the tail of the plane will be a different story.
So what happened? Her chute opened as she was getting out of the plane?
OMG.
The skydiver should check his own rig, the guy inside the plaine should grab the skydiver avoiding the exit, the pilot should look to the skydivers outdoor.. that was close 🙏
Sorry my friend but the pilot has his hands full . You can't check your own gear after you put it on. And All 4 should given each other a final pin check before entering thee plane. And the guy in blue should quit before he kills someone else..Just sayin..
@@gregggillott8551 well, I know pilots who pay atention to the skydivers outside, if something happen, they can react quickly (pretty obvious). I know a LOT of skydivers who check their own gear completly and plus, help the others as well.
Just saying.
Hi Alex. Your absolute right..the pilot at times can have a free hand, but during climb out (at stall speed) and a jumper hanging under the strut, the pilot also figures (assumes) the 4 passengers will watch out for each other. My main point is the guy in blue nearly killed 4 people. I was blown away how Mr. Blue did nothing. NADDA. Any time a bag falls out w/ door open, you'll scream " open container!!" Lay down on the bag and some grabs the door. And yes it all starts on the ground, check your gear and everyone on the load. ✌
Happened to a friend, but his chute hooked on the tail of the plane.
Took me a second to figure out the problem...WOW 😲. LUCKY to be alive
What caused it to open?
glad all went ok! but i'm wondering why his reserve is white and then he lands with a speedsail violet!?!?
Diff jumpers camera angle.
How that diver didn't get a piece of horizontal stab taking the plane out I have no idea.
Anyone who has ever skydived knows this is a very dangerous thing that happened. It is a miracle that the chute did not hang up on the plane or the skydiver did not impact the tail.
That’s along canopy ride down.. but beats the alternative
If it wasn't for a back up parachute being standard it might have been the end
Holy Mackeral!
This looks like 3KF Franklin Flying field. My old airport...
Good ole No 3 has NO CLUE !
Hey that wasn't just Amie, everyone on that plane was in extreme jeopardy and the pilot doesn't look like he's packing.
Наполнен, устойчив, управляемый😀😀
Her chute was deploying before she let go of thr strut!!
Can someone explain what actually happened?
It's painful to watch the POV of the skydiver inside the plane, watching the d-bag roll out, and not do anything about it.
Your parachute said I got you bro don’t trip.
I truly dont understand how he made it to the edge of the plane dragging a parachute through the cab full of people with literally no wiggle room. It's impossible not to see something literally right in front of your face. The chick behind him should've grabbed his ass and pulled him back in. Luck was your friend today. Jesus guys
That guy in the plane pulled her cord?
Bet that was a rush!!!
And that is why jump pilots wear parachutes!
Glad I’m not diving with these people how could you not see that jeez
10,000 ft cut away... Bet ya didn't find your main:(
Why do they hang off the strut , thats not as strong as they think it is
I've never jumped before but I feel like I should lie about it like half the comments.
I cant understand how this happened so easily
That could have turned very bad for everyone involved
That just missed the tail!
It shows why the pilot should have on a pilot rig.
There's no sound on this on e i guess, I would suppose it's a lot louder than this
Caraca!
The pilot is not wearing a parachute? This is exactly why the pilot wears a parachute. 10 degrees of flaps is the only thing that prevented disaster.
I wouldn't be caught DEAD skydiving out of a plane! "GREAT SCOTT!!!"
I saw the world ending.
Having been through jump school, this looks like a merciful safety frail that should have been failsafe. And, as a former pilot, a breach of any number of flight safety regs.
I can't believe experienced crew teams wouldn't have foreseen that and prevented it. I wouldn't want to jump with this crew. It seems they're careless, maybe even reckless, and don't think things through.
Its a miracle no one was killed. That could have brought the plane down as well if it damaged the tail.
One must always be vigilant for their gear and not just check it on the ground. But also in the plane and during crucial exit.
The deployment bag was clearly on the floor of the plane during climb out! Anyone watching out for their gear and others could have seen that.
These folks were very lucky.
Note, the pilot doesn't have a rig on either.
@@michaeldanks5975 Pilot had a rig on.
Wow. This could have ended very bad for everyone in the plane. Not sure but I think the tandem instructor should have held the jumper back. Of course he already has his hands full with the tandem student. Just my thoughts.
There was no tandem on that load. Four solo jumpers on;ly.
@@chrisconkright9259 I see that now.
Scariest video EVER !!!!
But why?
Some say they are still descending to this day.
Briefly guys, what was the problem?? Chute opened early??
And what was the near accident?? Possibility of hitting the tail ??
Complete zero knowledge here, but I am intrigued.... anybody??
Exactly. A bit of the canopy DID wrap around the elevator, but quickly came away. Had it snagged on the tail, it would have probably sent the plane into an uncontrollable descent. Normally, you let go of the wing strut, fall for X seconds, and then deploy your parachute.
@@troyjollimore4100 I understand,
thank you 👏👍👍
Que irresponsabilidade, o paraquedista já estava com o container aberto antes da saída, e ainda sim o pqd dentro do avião deixou tudo acontecer.
