WHAT HAPPENED
This wingsuit pilot deployed into heavy line twists, which he tried fighting for a minute and a half before finally deciding to cutaway - losing quite a bit of altitude in the process. Unfortunately, at that point he was stuck over a populated urban area and his only safe landing option was a soccer field… with an active match! He put it down right near the center of the field, but he still got a yellow card for not standing up the landing.
WHY DID IT HAPPEN
Asymmetric Opening
While flying a wingsuit, body symmetry during deployment is even more important than during a regular skydive because the extra fabric and drag are going to react very quickly to asymmetric conditions. It looks like this jumper may have had an asymmetric body position and it may have resulted in these line twists.
Fighting Line Twists For Too Long
Whether it was confidence that he could clear the line twists, a fear of embarrassment over cutting away, or any of a hundred other reasons; this jumper seemed to have really thought that he could clear these line twists. He kept fighting them but, as a result, he put himself in a spot where he had limited landing options.
HOW COULD IT BE PREVENTED
Stable & Symmetrical Deployment
During a wingsuit deployment, a small degree of body rotation can result in deployment issues. By taking just a half second and ensuring that their body remains in a neutral and symmetric position, a wingsuit pilot can drastically reduce the chance that their deployment will result in line twists.
Don’t Delay, Cut Away
This USPA slogan was intended to encourage folks with diving malfunctions to cutaway early but - arguably - it applies to this scenario as well. The jumper spent over a minute and a half thinking that - despite his upper body strength slowly getting drained through constant effort - he would be able to finally get out of these line twists. Had he chopped earlier he may have managed to make it to a non-emergency landing area.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
Why Chop Early?
Fortunately for this jumper, delaying his cutaway didn’t really result in any particularly devastating repercussions. He walked away embarrassed (and with a yellow card) but it should be reiterated that he was jumping over a highly populated urban area with very few outs. If he had a malfunction with his reserve, the lack of altitude resulting from his delayed cutaway could have been a recipe for disaster. Even some minor line twists with his reserve could have resulted in him landing in power lines or slamming into a building.

What about the other soccer field, the darker green one? It looked to be completely empty, and a larger field.
A new technique for solving linetwists - stare at them with disgust until they get uncomfortable and undo themselves out of embarrassment
His ws canopy sensed the fear and didn't give in to the stare this time.
Or you can untwist the lines by putting the twist into the risers, then proceed to untwist the risers which is easier to do. However this isn’t practical with the amount of twists that this guy had.
But yes, you can stare at the twist and pray it comes out on it’s own. But as my granddaddy once told me, pray in one hand and 💩 in the other, see which one fills up faster 🤣🤣
pretty much - not sure why the guy didnt pull risers apart and kicked. Makes no sense. Training?
@@Rustie_za I'm sure they still teach the "pull apart and kick" method in ground school, but I don't know anyone who doesn't recommend the reverse twist method anymore. Undo the twist in your lines by twisting your risers in the opposite direction. You'll be inducing another set of twists in your gear, but the twist being so close to your shoulders spreads the twist apart with much more leverage than you could spread with your arms. The lines basically untwist themselves very rapidly at that point. It saves you a ton of energy. This right here: ruclips.net/video/3YYaz0MriNI/видео.html
@@khabuda Thanks man. Even so, we were taught both methods. Apply one, swap to the other if you dont get results, keeping in mind dont delay cut away.
Yellow card..Awesome.😆😆
Hello! Its me on the footage 🤫😂.
I know I fucked this up a big time, most of you guys here are right! I should just grab those risers and rotate them better than I did, I did it here with minimal effort, thats true, but I was very tired and a bit scared I was just really struggling and also try to kick it out, have troubles with unzip the WS, it was my new WS, with bigger wings and shit, thats why I left the group earlier and open at higher altitude in case of this scenario. But I wasnt very experience with the linetwists and with untwisting them, at that time I didnt know the best technique is to simply grab those risers and untwist the lines, many people before teached me just to kick it out, so like I said i fucked this up 😅. But at the end everything end good and I learn my lesson!
This is my next linetwist few months later with new experience and skills:
ruclips.net/video/JrHOD2XK-oM/видео.html
made my day :D
Respect for sharing your footage. Helps people to learn.
When I started my skydiving career 11 years ago, we had this static line system that pulled the bag out directly. It gave superhard openings that resulted in line twists in 9/10 jumps. You learned to get out of line twists early on. Though I'm glad they have ditched that system. But I think line twists are something you can't really practice outside of it actually happening to you. We need line twist simulators :D
Get off the field! Taking your sweet ass time stowing your breaks after choosing the worst field possible to land in. Selfish
🤡
A 6-1 game. He was the most entertaining part of the evening for everyone at that game.
love the yellow card! its hard to tell but there were fields open nearby and he couldve chosen to land on another part of the field that wasnt so heavily populated. But in the end, everyone is ok, lessons learned for next time, there will be a next time if they jump long enough :)
@@TheKidYouKnow I won't agree to safest spot, but it did work, they could've easily not landed in the middle of the field with the most players, there was an empty soccer/futbol field they flew over. As a jumper you do have a responsibility to avoid injuring others when doing your activity, it's not just about you as the jumper, so if you gotta choose between sticker bushes or colliding with innocent bystander, bushes it is. That being said after adrenaline of cutaway things can be fuzzy and you do the best you can at the time. Easy to armchair quarterback, but not always accurate or fair if you weren't there in the moment.
yeah but the temptation to do a hero landing in the middle of a game is high
@@mattwoodford1820 haha, truth.
@@LifeSOSlivein some countries. In others they don't care. I seen paramotors fly around building. I'd assume in Mexico not many people giving af about what's going on above them, they got enough problems in the streets. If some dude gets killed while kicking a ball around, ain't no one going to bat an eye
It’s all a well-executed plot. The dude is a huge soccer fan and the game was sold out.
Haha, yeah. After he walked off he was like: "oh let me stand here for a minute to calm down a little bit" 🤣
LOL! That ref. YELLOW CARD!
The ref showed no hesitation for yellow card :D
No, he’s lucky he didn’t get a red card with that kind of effort fixing his malfunction. But again it’s probably easier said than done especially with a wing suit
I'd be more freaked out at the guy grabbing my canopy and twisting my lines up on the reserve like that.
Probably deserved a red card for 1) being over such a heavily populated area before deployment and 2) waiting so long to cut away, but I'm still impressed by the ref's vision here as well as the confidence he showed by instantly pulling out the yellow.
The official can't issue cards for events not seen by the official refereeing team 😜
Waiting to long to get off the field.. No one thought so? I did lol
Yellow card for improper substitution is the correct call here. Laws of the Game, Law 12, Cautionable offences, "A player is cautioned if guilty of: ... entering, re-entering or deliberately leaving the field of play without the referee’s permission". Ref did not hesitate. Impressive.
So many open areas, and he chooses an accuracy landing during a Soccer game, gets Carded and walked off the field like a little boy in trouble.😅
Exactly
Was he waiting for the line twists to fix themselves?
He tried kicking out of them a few times but it kept twisting thus the chop
Dude, he did minimal effort, I’ve had this malfunction myself and if it doesn’t get you flat in the air you keep fighting it. This dude literally kicked three times and then just sat waiting for the line twist to disappear on its own. What a disregard for the main canopy! Haha yeah lazy skydiver if you ask me…
@@truther6616 you don’t kick out of line twists (especially in a wing suit), you twist them in the same direction until they come down into the risers, then grab above the twists to control any dive and then throw the canopy around to bring them out.
@@saintrock_ I had a twist like that on my first solo, no way i was eager to cut away, so I pullled and wiggled for a minute and it came loose
@@saintrock_ fully agree - that was hardly a bad linetwist
He got a yellow card 😂 fair play to ref for sense of humour!
6-1 damn ZKS is kicking BAR ass!!
If this were me, I'd be fighting those line twists a lot harder than that because I'd rather not lose or have to go find a $1500ish canopy. Altitude awareness anyone? I didn't see any alt checks
your life is worth more than $1500
@@Silverwidows amen
Also, you don’t wanna risk that yellow card lightly…
Best Friday Freakout ever 😆
Dude, you're in a wingsuit, use your wing to help get out of twists!
That's what I was thinking. I've skydived some but never wingsuited. The whole time I'm thinking, just angle your wing 30 to 45 degrees off of the apparent wind in the opposite direction of your twists and spin yourself right out of it. Guess that's hard to do when you're not prepared for it tho. And like another commenter said, static line jumps provide excellent line twist training. That's how I learned to jump and after 5 static line jumps before I went to freefall, I think I had 2 or 3 good line twisty jumps. One of them severe. Big ol student canopy tho and line twist training beforehand, made it no big deal at all........ Grab the risers, spread em and kick n twist.
I had more line twists than that on a fouled reserve opening. I'm here to type about it!
Nope. Definitely a red card incident. He didn’t even try. That was terrible.
He had so many alternatives but chose a soccer field in use, then proceeded to take his time putting his brakes away instead of apologizing and getting off the field ASAP, just a dick move.
It's easy for me to say, but damn, I really feel like he could've gotten out of those line twists with a little more effort and/or training. There's more than 1 way to get out of line twists, especially in a wingsuit.
The ref handled that beautifully 😅
Dude just stands there fumbling with his gear..lol...gtf off the field da !!! They're trying to play soccer. Yeesh !!
I appreciate the field official who just picked up the canopy without waiting any longer and towed him off the field.
The losing team was hoping that break would take longer lmaoo
Was he even fighting it the first 20ish seconds? Least it wasn't a red card so he could return to the pitch if needed
not onlty he didn't even properly try to undo that simple twist or check altitude. He landed on a football field with players when he had a massive empty filed just next to it...
Definitely could of got out of that line twist lmao
I am not a skydiver. I have only done a tandem. Everytime I see a line twist video l think how handy a small retractable/telescopic bar in a thigh pouch would be. Something like you see on carry on luggage but thicker or heavier. Pull it out of the thigh pocket, extend it, and stick it below the line twists and using both hands with the added leverage turn it until you start to turn with it. It couldn't be sharp or in an location that it could somehow stab you when not being used.
Uwaga? POLAND?
I bet that main was a bitch to locate!
I get twisted up like that on wingsuit openings, but I’ve kicked out of even diving line twist while all zippers were still closed. Gotta twist the line twist down into the risers! I don’t know why this still isn’t common knowledge.
That was a straight red, ref.
The dude is just making is brakes line in the middle of the field....
Just get out of the way and let the teams play !
Should’ve been red😂😂😂
Lucky he caught a nice ref. That was red card worthy all day long...staring at those line twists like they'd fix themselves for so long.
Everytime the same fail. They fly a curve and pull. So they get everytime a twist!
That was painful to watch
Cool off landing 🙂
hula hoop your hips to get out of twists.or maybe more like a spindle circle on the pommel horse
At least it wasn't a close game of football. 6-1! He didn't ruin the match.
That yellow card... he will learn not to do it again...
Uwaga, kurwa uwagaaaaaa! 😅🤭🤭🤭❤❤❤❤
Did he unzip his arms after deploying into line twists? Didn’t seem like he did. I found it almost impossible to untwist without unzipping the arms and now practice it as part of my drills to unzip the arms first before trying to unwind line twists.
should of been at least a red for that landing 😁
lol at least he didnt get sent off
Asking experienced wing suiters, considering how long he was willing to wait to chop, wouldn't he have had time to unzip his arms so he could start trying to spread the risers apart?
If you unzip your arms and the try to remedy this situation……..you typically can not because the material that is trailing you works as a weather vane not allowing you to untwist. A better solution is to collapse your leg wings, the use your arm wing intermittently to spin you in the opposite direction opening…… closing and opening one arm wing at the appropriate time as to remedy the line twist. @phil
That’s one way to get on tv
Cutaway = yellow card. 2cutaways = red card with deleting
Balon… fue balon.. señores…
It looks like he could've done more to untwist the lines. It looks untwistable for me but needs efforts and experience. But I have a near similar cutaway once. Luckily over a normal landing zone
My first jump students untwist their canopies better than this guy. Obvously, a student canopy is different than this one, but the video just screams lack of proper training.
Yellow carded him. I reckon it was a send off myself.
SAFE!! Wait… wrong sport.
hahahahaahhahaa the yellow card
could have easily landed in the empty field just behind.. he just wanted to make Teem video of the week obviously!!
Poland ;) my country
as a soccer player, we get very annoyed when a dog or a child interrupts the game, but a parachute is funny. The way the ref gave the yellow card doesn't look like it's a joke, possibly counted against home team. (home team is supposed to ensure safe condition, this rule makes sense for matches in big stadium but is also applied to smaller leagues outdoor)
Yellow card means if it happens again he will be banned from watching live when there is the next match
Fortunately not red card!!
Why do people keep taking so long to chop. Damn, if it’s not working, get rid of it!
QUESTION: He yells "Watch out!" nobody listens to him. Would it be better to scream "Look up!"?
Common, experienced guy in wingsuit cannot land on spot anywhere outside the pitch?
the game was sold out.
Great channel. Question: Do the really accomplished wing suiters ever open late for any reason?
No. The lowest planned opening height is 1800 feet. That means you must attempt to have a functioning canopy before you go below 1800. That way you’ve got height / time to deal with a malfunction such as this.

Well when you pitch during or before carving your ws what do you think Will happen
If it was only a yellow card... why didn't he stay on and finish the match?
We Brazilians be thinking where was this guy when we were losing to Germany in 2014?
As an avid skydive spectator, wing suits have added that extra thrill to this channel! At least it wasn’t in one of mountain canyons where they open just before they slide into the ground. Love the content and I’m quite content sitting on the sidelines. 👍🤣
it is Poland 😆
Bicycle kick out while grasping the risers thumbs down while pulling apart? Why stare at it?
not much effort was put in to getting out of those twists maybe the wingsuit made it harder to kickout of- either way you walk away
Lucky Guy you had no red Card 🤙
That referee is not to be trifled with.
hahaha
That's not a small suit you're flying there, how can you not know how to get out of line twists with a wingsuit? Ok so spinning diving linetwists need chopping but that canopy is flying along nicely with you underneath. You don't unzip your arms and start kicking, you stick a wing out into the airstream and you'll be spun out of the twists very rapidly (stick the correct arm out). As you rotate 180 degrees you'll need to retract that arm and stick the other out and repeat until the twists are gone. If you use the wrong arm the wrists get worse so change arms. It's so simple, they come out as fast as they go in. Totally unnecessary chop bro.
I can teached him to solve this problem with twists. So yellow card is rhight.
Where are your hands???
😂😂😂
😂😂
Not only he seems to put almost no effort to undo the twist, but after landing he seem to have no rush to leave the soccer field, as if it was his own landing area...
Don't delay... get off the field.
Did he get yellow carded? 🙂
dude got a yellow card, good job though.
Guys & Gals,
After nearly 7000 jumps, plus a couple HD World Records, and a World Cup CP team over 15 years, I logged 6 chops total. I figured out that line twists are fairly easy to get out of quickly.
Check your altitude, and if safe to do so, look up at your 'risers to lines' connections, if both connections are even, you're pretty much just a few bicycle kicks away from getting untwisted, that is if you aren't already diving.
But, if they are not even, your canopy is probably in some degree of a dive, so lean in your harness towards the higher connection, and pull down hard on that same riser to even out the connections with each other.
You should do this as soon as you realize you're in twists, you do not have to wait for full inflation, because the more your lines twist up, the harder it is to over come the friction of the lines wrapped around each other. It is possible, that you might pull it too hard and go past the point of them being even. If that happens, check your altitude & spin rate, and if safe to do so, repeat with the now higher connection. BUT, Always remember to maintain altitude awareness, and when in doubt, Chop your main. Happy Flights!
It Looked like pretty half-hearted intermittent attempts to clear the lines twists. Then when he made the decision to cutaway, he had too few options. But even then he decided against the vacant field right next to the one he landed on. remind me to never let my daughter date this guy.
😍😍😍👍👏👏👏💪💪
I don't think I would have the balls to cut away a perfectly fine canopy with just twisted lines.
“Just twisted lines”
Is it big, is it square, can you control it? I'll stick to AFF rules forever, I'd much prefer to cut away a main I might have been able to fix, than realise too late I still can't control it.
I have seen a man who landed such a line twist. He was very lucky to land in a bushes and got only minor injuries. From above that was like a scary movie
@@hovishead1982 Yes you can't control it at all. But what if the reserve opens even worse? I've seen it before. The guy almost paralized.
@@hovishead1982 Is it there? Is it square? Does it flare? DZ’s where?
Well that sure is a memorable jump to put in the log book 😂.
Yellow card kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Poland :)
Я не понял: он ленивый или его раскручивать стропы не учили? Или может какая-то другая причина есть? :)))
Красавчик 😂👍👌🤝

И фрибэк
Moronic move
POLSKA GUROM
Poland?
Yes
I think the worst part is the impatient guy grabbing your reserve. I don't think I would have handled that so well!
One little trick a wingsuiter taught me: Untwist the lines with the risers, which will put the twist into the risers. Then proceed to untwist the risers (which is easier to do than the lines). However I think this is only practical if you have a few twists. First things first, maintain altitude awareness!! Your life or broken bones + tens of thousands of medical bills isn’t worth the trade-off for a $3000 Canopy 🤕🪂
