      I can. I was the dude in the video. High winds aloft. Landed about 200m downind of the POI. Landed in a tank ditch. Was trying for a right front PLF and my leg stuck on the upslope of the ditch I would up in.

      @@keithh1380 He didn't use the parachute landing fall (PLF). It's a technique for a paratrooper to safely land. Basically once u land u roll over your body to the side or back to spread the weight of the body across the body rather than putting all the weight and pressure on your legs (ankles). As u can see this guy just landed straight down all the way with his legs. The gliding down a paratrooper goes through isn't slow.

    There are SO many comments wanting to sound smart when in reality they have no idea of what happened. According to the OP, high winds pushed them far off course, and by bad luck he was pushed into a tank ditch. He ATTEMPTED to land and roll as everyone is ignorantly claiming he didn't do, but his leg got caught in the ditch and his roll ended up snapping his leg. After 12 failed surgeries, he ultimately decided to amputate his leg, and says he's doing better now with the robot one. He continues to skydive to this day.

      @Drilltayler...Just for the record "Airborne Ops", along with hi winds/training accidents happen "almost" every day and night. It's something our people train for over and over again until we can do it in our sleep. Not to sound like a know it all, but some of us do have an idea of what really happened. And I am just curious as to how many Airborne daytime/nighttime static line Ops you been on highspeed...btw did anyone else eyeball a tank ditch in that training jump video? Or anywhere close to the jumper in question? I only eyeballed a single lane improvised dirt/sand trails/roads running throughout the DZ, which our recovery vehicles and military tactical/medical vehicles use. Btw we do not "attempt" to land...Once we jump, us old schoolers conduct what we call a DPLF- aka Dynamite Parachute Landing Fall. Sorry to see what happened to this jumper...but sometimes bad things happen to all of us, whether in training or whatever the case maybe.

  • @domepiece11
    @domepiece11 2 года назад +210

    It happens. One of my West Point instructors told us he was on a jump and got a serious head injury, almost detached both retinas. High winds dragged him way off course. He said he spent like 2 months in a dark room in a hospital with a blindfold on recovering. Same thing happened to the Sergeant Major. These guys were highly experienced. These are not recreational parachutes, they drop much more vertically. The newer chutes are safer.

    😮 OmGG! That is a horrible mechanism of injury! People don’t understand the pain of broken bones unless they go through it…my career almost ended when I fell through the roof of a structure fire I was working and before we could step back on the ladder the whole roof just caved and 2 of us went down 30 feet to the basement landing on our back, I got it worse because I broke his fall and I was the paramedic on duty that day…I broke a LOT of bones, blew 4 discs and had to have a anterior and posterior lumbar fusion, 3 artificial discs put in my neck, etc. Took 3 years but I finally made it back to full duty 6 mo ago.
    That had to be so incredibly heartbreaking, not just physically but mentally. I’m sure you had to work really hard to get there, & not being able to deploy with your brothers sucks too, I bet the VA just gave you “stellar” care. 😢

    This reminds me of my first, and last, jump. The parachute opened up okay, and at the right time. But it was a cold and windy day. Each of us had radio communication with those guiding us from down below, doing their best to direct us to exactly where we should land. But on this cold and windy day, the ground was completely dry and rock solid. I felt that I got lucky and did not end up with a broken hip, because I guess I overdid the roll method that is used to minimize impact. I felt even more lucky when fire engines and ambulances showed up, all to help others who were not so lucky. Some of the others had ended up stuck in the trees, or had a nasty bone busting ground impact. OUCH ! Simply put, there should have been no parachuting on that day.

  • @stukas07
    @stukas07 5 лет назад +717

    Hello. I was a paratrooper and a medic in the 82nd ABN infantry. I have a couple dozen jumps with all this same equipment.
    He was first out the door. Not guaranteed but most likely means he was an experienced jumper. His exit, and chute inspection after it deployed were both good. His fall rate and lateral movement(wind speed) were NOT fast. Some fall a little faster than others but there is NO malfunction, this was not unusually quick. On average, and trained to impact at 18-22 feet per second. If wind speed is too high they will cancel or delay the jump. This didn't look anywhere near the speed needed to scratch the jump.
    He releases his rucksack just after the 2:00 mark. It is attached to a cord/lanyard on your harness around your hip. This is so the weight of your gear impacts before you, meaning you don't have the weight on you when you impact. Now at one point you see him pull his right straps down. This may or may not of been an error. If it was to slip(steer) him in a direction no problem. You do this for many reasons, for example avoiding collision with another jumper, a road on the ground, tree etc. I would even do this after I became more experienced just so i didn't have to walk as far to the 'meet-up' point, nothing wrong with this. It is an error if this is him Flaring his chute. Flaring is pulling your chute down to slow your descent. You do this around tree top level. About 50-100 feet off the ground.
    If he was flaring, it was way too early. If you flare early, the air you grabbed doing it will escape causing you to speed back up. After this he didn't seem to flare at all, or near enough.
    His landing was poor. You're supposed to do a PLF, parachute landing fall. It's essentially a roll. You distribute the impact around your body. I cant see if he did or not, but his knees should be bent, he should of been looking down towards his right, his shoulders and upper torso should of been turned to the right. He didn't seem to do his PLF correctly. Perhaps there was a rock, or his foot got wedged. It's hard to tell without looking at him rather than from his eyes. What I mean is, i would guess this was his main error but it also could of just been bad luck.
    He did have the good sense to release his parachute retention strap from his harness. You know this because once the guy arrives to help, he pulls it away meaning it was already detached. This is excellent. Your chute can violently drag you after you land if you don't release this mechanism. The fact that he did this immediately while in so much pain is good to see---good on him, good training.
    I really hope my fellow trooper recovered well and has no lasting problems from this. ALL THE WAY! thanks for reading.

    Its wild how sometimes endorphins kick in immediately and you feel nothing and other times its intense agony. I broke my collarbone on a slip-n-slide (jumped from a small hill and landed on my shoulder instead of my chest) back in 99/2000 and blacked out (I only remeber the jump and then waking up at the bottom of it with my friends looking over me). When I regained consciousness my friends were like "are you ok?!?", I got up, right shoulder/arm pushed inward a few inches and I said "Guys... I think something's wrong..." when I attempted to move my shoulder backwards I could feel the bones rubbing together. There was ZERO pain and I have a pretty low pain tolerance. My mom had me take my shirt off OVER MY HEAD (which is something you definitely don't want to do) and that didnt hurt either. My dad said when he applied slight pressure it looked like the bone was going to pop through the skin. It only started to hurt about an hour or so after it happened and it was a gradual build up from "ow this hurts" to "OMFG this is excruciating". They game me a shot of Demerol in the thigh after my dad freaked out on them and I was on Cloud 9.

      ...and it always hurt afterwards too! 😂
      Day jumps were the nice ones (unless there was high wind, but mine always got canceled if it was too high). Those were the only ones where you landed lightly enough you could practically land standing up (though I never risked it, primarily because you don't know exactly what it is you'll be landing on). Most of my jumps were always at night.
      Night jumps on the other hand, you dropped much faster, sometimes you couldn't even see the ground (fog), and judging your movement in relation to the ground was even more difficult.
      From what I see, this guy didn't fight his angular momentum (sideways movement due to wind and flight), plus he's much higher (like he's @ Benning), so he picked up even more speed as a result. Lastly, don't ever fight the landing or stiffen up. But you know this already having bailed out of a perfectly good airplane nearly 100 times! 🤣

I manged to kill 32 terriost with my K-BAR tossed a grenade's and loaded 12 hostages onto a Blackhawk . I got awarded a Purple Heart & the Brone Star and sill completed the mission in record time . The rest of the AIRBORNE be like Sergeant Major howcome you never told us that story before? Because i just thought it up all of the sunden it sounded good didn't it?
