** What happened **
This might be one of the craziest premature openings we've ever seen! This skydiver had a snappy premature opening while flying feet-first on an angle jump, which resulted in his container actually ripping, flipping over his back and hitting him in the face.
It’s hard to see what was happening after he cut away, but he thinks his reserve entangled with the main canopy. Not being able to look up, he said he “tried to rip and tear with (his) hands everything that was behind (his) head to try at least partly open reserve.” He didn't follow his emergency procedures to pull his reserve handle, but he had an RSSL and fortunately the reserve finally deployed, and he landed safely with minor injuries.
You can see the damage that was done to the container near the end of the video. It's crazy to see how powerful a high-speed premature opening can be and he's so lucky to be alive.
** Why did it happen **
Improper Gear
This individual was not using freefly-friendly gear and believes that was the cause of this incident. This isn't the first time we've seen this and, unfortunately, it probably won't be the last.
Incorrect Procedures
The jumper was the first to admit that they should have pulled their reserve handle after cutting away regardless of whether they had an RSL or not. They believe that relying on their RSL contributed to the mess they had behind their head.
** How could it be prevented **
Gear Choices / Jump Choices
If you’re going to freefly, you should have gear for freeflying. If the gear you have isn’t appropriate or safe for a particular type of jump, you should sit that one out.
Calm Down
This jumper freaked out a bit (understandable, given the circumstances involved) and didn’t follow his emergency procedures. It doesn’t matter if you have an RSL/MARD/Skyhook/whatever; if you’re pulling your cutaway handle, you should be pulling your reserve handle as well.
** Additional Notes **
Medical Perspective
The speed of the deployment is so fast that their container actually rips and flips over their back and slams into their face. It was initially suspected that this individual had fractured some vertebrae. Thankfully, that was not the case and he only had soft tissue damage. But these jumpers were flying feet-first and going fast; at those speeds a premature opening like this can cause serious damage due to deceleration forces. Injuries that can happen due to this type of premie can be very serious and potentially fatal.

This is one of the most violent premature openings I've seen to date. Like watching a contortionist. Full video breakdown above ^
Shut up mate. This was mild. Stop talking shit. Sad channel tbh.
@@BST-vk7lb still saved his life even after catastrophic opening.... right?
@@BST-vk7lb looks more like an aerodyne icon
you can find the full video on youtube. you'll see that he's discussing how his reserve didn't deploy so he clawed around behind him trying to pull anything he could get his hands on, and managed to get his reserve out manually. His mistake was relying on the RSL. the RSL broke form the violent main deployment, so when he cut away it didn't deploy his reserve. If you watch again you'll see that he never pulls his reserve handle. Hence why even with an RSL you should always pull both your cut away and your reserve handle. Had he just pulled the reserve handle, he wouldn't have had to claw around behind his head. He's lucky to have survived that.
I watched that before i saw it here, the whole time i was just screaming "pull the fkn reserve handle!"
Yikes. That was one of the scarier ones I've seen. He's lucky to have made it.
Yup! Made my palms sweat just watching it.... Skydiving isn't bowling!
@@pietskiet8763 But you need big balls for both sports.
@@PianoUniverse Heheheee!
Altitude was definitely his friend on this one.
Ah yes, a must watch before I head out to the DZ today
Just be a lame like me and belly fly only.
@@ArashiKageTaro all I can do at 46 jumps with rental gear anyways lol
@@AndersonOozie13 have fun and be safe
@@tommylynch7887 thanks! Went on a tracking jump, was super fun. Heading out there again tomorrow
@@AndersonOozie13 awesome, good luck on all your jumps
dude, you have now 2 birthdays.
Briliant coment!
I’m trying very hard to understand this but I can’t can someone exsplain
@@pro-11-brawlstars68 I hope this is not too late, but you say someone has a second birthday if they barely survived something
Tim ohhh
You guys should get a special award from USPA for cummunity safety serve
I have mentally trained my emergency procedures so much I see them in my dreams. I hope if I ever encounter a situation like this, I do them correctly in the air too. This dude put himself for a ride that day.
I watched it few weeks ago and sold my old gear to buy a new one!
I'm not gonna jump with an old gear anymore
Maybe not the most efficient, but this way of deploying the reserve has a lot of merit imo 😂
Take care!
If you look carefully the parachute opens out of sequence. Because the lines went under his right arm, the brake handles stayed in the container until after the canopy opened. It was probably his left-hand lines that would then have been passing under his reserve from left to right and under his right arm that (with a full canopy open) ripped off his container.
Also the guy needs to practise his PLFs 😁
Always know your equipment practice emergency procedures often and never ever trust your RSL after a cutaway malfunction there should never be any handles left stowed
Thanks, was thinking he should have pulled it all, or even pulled his rsl off first so he could fall clear of any caught or broken lines.
Как под копирку: бодрый фрифлай, выдувание медузы, рваный основной, доблестное спасение... Здесь Кришна был добр и недвусмысленно намекнул - меняй снарягу, балбес! :)
God damn that was a gnarly premi. Looked like his container ripped off the harness.
I thought he broke his arm when I see container rip.
yea, my arm hurt from only watching this! hooooly crap!
Post landing thoughts..."ok, Im going to need a new rig and what's that smell ? Ugg, also clean underwear too".
This is the only Teem video that actually made my hands sweat.
I'm flying a closet queen from the 90's that is in great shape...but now I'm wondering.....glad he made it!!
unlisted? This is one of the scarier videos on here
I'm surprised he didn't at least break or dislocate his shoulder. I was on a 2 way once and the same thing happened to my buddy Matt and his shoulder was demolished. Had to land with one arm.
"Never give up"..... it isn't over until you are on the ground one way or another.
Also, this is a good lesson for all those people that say "you don't even need to pull your reserve once you cut away. You have an rsl/skyhook for a reason."
I'm glad I re-watched this, because I didn't notice (or remember?) that he didn't pull the reserve handle...and I have to admit, I've thought that I shouldn't "need" to pull the reserve handle since I have an RSL...now I'm sure there are several other ways an RSL may not pull the reserve pin (like a Full malfunction bag/container lock for one...). Note to self, cut away, then pull reserve...and now I need to review the reason(s) why you'd skip the cutaway handle and go to the reserve handle first... someone help me (us) out here...
Yep, happened a month ago, lucky SOB.
Anyway: begin and finish your emergency procedures!!!
Yep doesn’t look like he even tries for the reserve handle at all, but oddly reaches across his body for his cutaway which he immediately tosses.
Holy shit that is so messed up... His reserve deployment looks like a nightmare.
As a one time jumper (promises made prevented me from more) I really appreciate the thorough explanations provided explaining what went wrong.
Wow !!! That hurt !!! So lucky to have survived.. good job !!!
Good reason to keep brushed up on emergency procedures. This incident was most defiantly painful and disorienting, but even so, your life depends on what you do next. Altitude was defiantly his saving grace here, but I fear had he been lower we’d be looking at a different outcome.
Recommend everyone also go check out the original vid. Dude goes into his mindset as for why he did what he did during the jump
I'm interested to see this. Where can we find the video?
@@J-Post86 Here you go... ruclips.net/video/ksup89CzFog/видео.html
Yep, he should have followed his emergency procedures. But frankly, after an opening like this one, I am amazed that he had the strength to cut away that quickly. Abd very lucky guy to only have soft tissue damage!
He did follow his emergency procedures...? He had a reserve entanglement immediately following the chop.
@@nicholasmartin7922 Yeah exactly. Love that people tried to pick him apart after a crazy situation like that... for fuck's sake
Ouch that was really scary, but why he didnt use his reserve handle?
Thanks Teem for a great video rehash of this event. Freakin' gnarly. My palms, they sweatin!
Holy f.... My underwear might have a little change of color if that was me😅😂
Usually helps to pull your reserve handle. A pretty dicey situation but i can't help but find it a bit comical that he thought he had an entanglement when in reality he failed to pull that other handle thingy on the left.
That is the hardest opening I have ever seen!
No slider terminal beats that one... Be very carefully who rigs rental gear!
I can smell the adrenaline leaking from his pants from here!
I’m all set with free flying. I like taking my time to get to the ground. Did you see his neck slam down in the slow mo sequence? That killed a guy Deland a while back. Not right away but from complications a little while after. So scary.
Farkkkk that is about the most violent opening I have ever seen
Another reason why I love wingsuiting...my flysight tells me that my deployment speed is ~90 MPH after flaring a Strix until it feels like I can't go any slower.
A container company should do a video on this guys rig.
Scariest friday freakout to date
Must not have seen that double mal
At 1:42 we can see RSL attached weirdly to the reserve riser. How did that happened? I have couple of scenarios, but I'm interested in hearing other opinions.
Thanks
Seen a lot of these. That was a scary one!
Damn that’s scary. If that would’ve happened to me I would’ve simply stopped it. I guess I’m built different.
Lol
Phew, I thought he was a goner. Gotta freefly with the right gear.
Whoa most unlucky lucky dude. Glad the reserve opened
finally waited! real freakout!🤟🏻😁
С днём рождением и меняй производителя!
Homie... that's The Lord telling you to stop testing him.
Damn, he couldn’t look up to see what was happening. That’s terrifying.
if you dont pull your reserve handle after chopping your not cutout for skydiving....
This is what we call a good reason to buy quality gear.
All the lines and buckles flying around at the end there. Doesn't look right.
Talk about whiplash.
Hes lucky his arm is still attached :-/
This has got to be the worst of the worst
Man, Im glad he got his arm around that line that would have messed him up I think.
That was pretty fkn gnar
Holy crap my hurt drop
you'll be fine...
😱 wow! oMg! Happy Birthday!
What was damage to his body? Lucky he had all his leg/chest straps on properly I wonder what their kN break strength is?
Premature deployments, man. Yikes.
У меня прошлой зимой запаску оторвало от ранца при открытии основны куполом. Пришил и прыгал дальше.
I never jumped with RSL and never will.
Anything to do with manufacturing standards in Eastern Europe as opposed to USA ?
Holy mother of shitake! Scary stuff
Ehhh...Mom could sew that prob....WTF..dude is super lucky...almost broke legs in landing too
that dude is gonna need a new parachute and a new pair of pants....
Was it skyhook? Why he open on back?
Am I looking on this in the wrong way or the reserve has been opened too early. I know that normally when one cutaway one open reserve asap but I think he had pretty high altitude he could wait with reserve till his position is stabilized.
I get the principal reasoning of also pulling ur reserve canopy even tho u have a rsl, but I don’t get how not pulling it could have contributed to this. Kinda curious for an explanation
The rsl either wasn't actually connected or came off in the violent preemie. Although his container ripped off, the reserve pin was still seated, and if he had pulled the ripcord the reserve likely would have come out without a fuss. Instead, when he cut away and felt something by his head, he didn't realize it was his broken container, and went to town with his hands on what he understandably thought was his freebag. Fortunately he successfully ripped open his reserve tray. But had he just pulled his reserve handle first, he could have saved himself several seconds that he genuinely believed were his last.
@@1574me oooh I get what’s happening now, thanks
I wonder how many jumps were made with that container prior to this incident.
All else fails fight like hell.
I just read description. So how this actually is? When you cut away is your reserve will open automatically when you cut or you have to pull reserve handle too? Sorry that might be stupid question but I'm not doing skydive
There are additional mechanisms which actually do automatic deployment of reserve like RSL / Skyhook after cutoff. But in this case it didn't work because main was entangled. Anyway pulling the reserve is always an essential part of emergency procedures even if you have any of these mechanisms.
@@Coodix oh, thanks. I thought when you cutoff, this line is somehow attached to reserve and once you pull cutoff, you pull reserve in the same time, if that make sense. However, pulling reserve seems to be absolutely sensible. Well, if I skydive and get in trouble I would pull all pull handles which left to pull, haha. Thanks again.
What is free flying gear exactly?
Holy shit. That's one of the scariest skydiving vids I've ever seen. That one is right up there with the two plane shot collision and that one dude's double malfunction from the early 2000s, after doing a flip through his risers under canopy. I wonder if that dude is gonna buy a new rig or walk away.....
Looks like a mirage container? I can't quite tell
ParaAvis Spirit Micro
WOW : / ... so lucky ..
it looks like he disengaged RSL before cutaway (look about 3:04 at 0.25x, I see it's already off). It seemed ok for me (he had a reason it that situation). But 'manual' opening of reserve by accidentally pulling rsl cord... that's weird.
So now I think RSL was disengaged during hard opening ...
What happend with the reserve and how he managed to get it right?
Camera 1? Whaaaat?... Camera 2? Whaaaat?..... Camera 3 whaaaat?..... Camera 4 wtf? I'm so scared
Oh boy...
That must have hurt. And what the fuck happened with the reserve not deploying? Was it just bound up with the container?
Container ripping probably saved the guy. Spread the energy over time rather than at once. Had it not ripped opening could have been hard enough to severely injure or kill the guy.
That's about as bad as it gets... I hope
ASKING for free resending parachute, omg that s*ck
No follow through with pulling his reserve handle and no attempt to PLF....
This is probably the scariest incident you guys have by far...fuck
You guys show us a bunch of 'tame' Friday freakout, then throw this at us...
So wait his parachute almost came off his back is that what went wrong
One very happy ending, very close to being deadly.
If you are going to Skydive (whatever style of jump you initially plan) you need airworthy equipment, that includes a locking handle on your P/C.
If the exit funnels on a FlatFly jump, the Air will not discriminate, it's going to rush around you with just as much enthusiasm.
It so disrespectful to carry-on jumping equipment without secure handles etc. We lost a legend like Tom Pires, hit by someone having a P/C slip out just after a funnelled exit.
"Learn from the mistakes of others, you can't live long enough to make them all yourself"(Eleanor Roosevelt)
Reserve containers would partially rip off, with SkySurfers (almost in a standup for deployment), or if you wrap the lines around the bottom of the reserve container and then have a deployment with some asymmetry, lines then snag the corner and "hay presto"
The potential for internal organ (+arms, legs, etc) damage if significant with deceleration like this one, don't just have a cup of tea afterwards,
get check out by a doctor who understands you have just been exposed to the equivalent of a high speed head-on collision.
See two videos on things you should know about the P/C.

Unlucky but damn lucky lad 🤪
Wow seriously scary. What was the container? It looked old.

what gear was he jumping? Russian made?
Old Jav it looks like
Was he using a mirage or wings container?

@@seriousmike88 thx was curious. I saw ur channel too.
фрифлай , хули ))))
Fucking yikes, lol
so many things that could have killed him, in parallel in one single jump .That is so lucky outcome. Fix the gear. A'lot.
What kind of container was that?
An old one for sure
Faulty!
Wings or a Racer? Lol
'Was' being the operative word!
