Tyler was a great person. He was eccentric, adventurous, fun loving. There were things I never would have done were it not for Tyler. He pulled me out of a dark part of my life and his death shook me hard. He was a natural comedian, and always loved to joke around and make you smile and laugh. He was also kind and understanding, I had some of the deepest talks in my life with just him. He was always a shoulder to cry on and a person who I knew would have my back forever. It's hard to imagine it's been 5 years almost. I'll love you forever Tyler, justice has been served.

@@kingstonthomas8860 I think it's because the parachute doesn't need to be deployed until about halfway through the fall. So he wouldn't have realized it until halfway through. Idk 🤷♂️
@@MrSkunk138 90% chance? Dude, from trained people with a license, there's a 0.006% chance of dying, per 1,000 jumps. 21 fatalities were reported from 2010, to 2019. There is no 90% chance. These people died due to pure incompetence, and thinking it's okay to trick people into entrusting their LIVES to them. Comments like yours make it seem justified, like they knew the risk. Yes, there's always a risk, but this had nothing to due with risk, it was 100% the people in charge. Unfortunately, people had to die for others to notice that.
@Dwane Smith If you think about it. Don't you think it's suspicious his parents didn't research the company and didn't warn him to check his teacher and equipment?
Imagine how scary it would of been for him when he realized his parachute wasn’t open,and he knew he was going to die.They took him to the hospital,but by the time he hits the ground he is dead and will have a lot of broken bones in his body.that is one of the scariest ways to die.
@@googleloginactivation415 🤔 I'm pretty sure GOD, if real, isn't spending his time laughing up there after someone falls to their death, causing a mother to lose a child. It's not amusing. But that's just a guess.
Prestigious young man went from saying we're going to make it. To splat. There's billions of people & institutions on this planet claiming he does exist. I'm just playing along with the planet earth narrative. So its a wtf moment to the max Unless it isn't & he was awarded the greatest instant death sacrifice out of this place & his fam received 40 million to use it for a grand scholarship for young prestigious people like Tyler
Last thing he said was "Hope she helps me with more, because I want to make it! We're going to make it!" Damn... crazy how life can end just like that. Rest In Peace.
Well technically if you think about it, life just doesn’t end like that, the kid made a choice of being closer to death than your regular daily life by going skydiving. I would say all of this could have been avoided had you not been in a rush to skydive which by the way for me is a completely & unnecessary “lifetime experience” regalarles wether the company was equipped and qualified or not this is just a chance I would never ever take part of.
@@petergriffith4109 nah you got it all wrong it’s not his fault at all 🤷♂️ the only thing you can say is he shoulda done research about the company but it’s 100% that companies fault for not having trained professionals and not keeping him safe. It’s the same thing with a roller coaster, yes it thrilling and can be dangerous but it’s up to the owners and company to make sure the welfare of the customers is ok.
I was going to go on my 21st birthday & backed out. I've watched youtube videos where people have actually survived their parachute not opening. I wish this was one of those stories. My heart goes out to Tyler's family & all who loved him. I am so deeply sorry for your loss.
Super rare just apparently not for this company. I did my first tandem august 12th and I've done 18 solo jumps since. Not only do you have the main chute but you've got a reserve and even if your instructor doesn't pull it an Automatic Activation Device does if you're still going a certain speed at a certain altitude. That's why I'm really curious how this happened and I'm surprised they didn't specify that information.
@@joshhart4931 I did lots of research on this and other fatalities before I went skydiving. Far as I was able to dig up his drogue chute wasn’t cocked before the jump and as a result was uninflated during the jump you can see this in the video. The remedy is to pull your main within 6-8 seconds after you’ve realized your drogue isn’t inflated as it still has enough drag to pull out the main canopy just fine. The Jumpmaster (I use that term loosely he wasn’t correctly certified is my understanding through my research) or the AAD (not sure which or who) fired the reserve into the drogue tangling up the reserve deployment bag with the mains opening system (visible around the 1:56 mark). It was a fixable malfunction. Heartbreaking without a doubt.
@@joshhart4931From what I found out the instructor didn't follow protocol and opened the reserve into the collapsed drogue (drag chute, the small chute in the video) and the reserve became entangled with it and didn't open properly. The proper protocol afaik would've been to just deploy the main chute after realizing the drogue chute was deflated.
Never met the dude but the fact that he would have had a promising life, and the fact that he knew he was getting closer to the ground each second, probably screaming inside or out in a terrified expression, reminding himself to the assortment of things he could’ve accomplished or experienced in the future to then likely pass out within shorter seconds to milliseconds, or even scarily enough, not passing out at the last second, makes the death even worse...
so you’re telling me, *20 DEATHS* occurred at that business and *NO ONE* did anything to shut the business down after the *FIRST DEATH* ?! honestly, this could have been prevented.
@@RYMAN1321 Im pretty sure this is one of those rare cases where both was faulty. All you have to do is pull it. Not hard. Thats why this company thought theyd get away with hiring non certified instructors. They now paid big time for that stupid decision even tho it probably wasnt the instructor’s fault.
What’s even worse is that he had no idea the parachute didn’t work until he got close to the ground. You could still see him smiling whenever the parachute was just falling since he had no idea. RIP Tyler
It’s a sky diving location in a Northern California town just south of Sacramento in Lodi. I’ve been diving there, but yeah... EVERYYYYBODY knows how sketchy it is.

It’s so sad that from his last words, he intuitively knew that this would go wrong, but I’m sure he ignored those gut feelings, thinking it was just typical fear of jumping out of a plane ...
Exactly, he knew but he brushed off as normal level of fear for jumping out of plane. Can't imagine what he went through those last hundred feet, hopefully by then he had passed out from G force or fear.
smh he looked so happy and not worried because everyone is supposed to have licenses and experience and just imagining him being so scared and his mom being there, seeing with her own eyes her son dying is extremely saddening. rest in peace angel and condolences to the family🤍.
@WHO WHO WALKWA Always do background checks on these types of businesses. Big mistake here was that the other guy wasn't even fully certified. 20 deaths under one company is outrageous.
@cameraflyer a few seconds can feel like hours when you know you're gonna die. He felt that fear for almost a minute. Not just a few seconds. From an airplane to the ground at that elevation wouldn't just be a few seconds.
@@jenniemitchell7731 actually no .. on average you fall about 200 feet every second .. after about 15 seconds you would have fell 1000 you gain speed depending on weight and blah blah blah which makes the falling even faster bringing you too 1000 feet about ever 6 or 7 seconds … sadly the kid probably didn’t know he was in trouble until about 10 seconds till impact
I went skydiving there for my 21st birthday and the whole facility is trash and really run down. No kidding, the owner is like a human version of how his facility looks and runs.
@Desiree Wyatt it’s technically in Acampo, California which it right next to Lodi. And trust me, they already have plenty of people to vouch for the character of the owner and his business. That’s why the owner had to pay the family $40 million. And also the owner tried to change the name of the business in an attempt to avoid accountability smh.

@@Dylaannl fr dude, that’s be the most horrifying three minutes of your life every second expecting some miracle to save you, when in reality knowing death is inevitable

Don't be afraid. I've been twice. The only downside is it ruins every roller coaster because you'll always compare it to skydiving. It's one of the most fun things I've ever done in my life.
My grandma had a classmate in college who went skydiving but died because his parachute never opened. Now she becomes real serious whenever skydiving is brought up in our family.

I don't know exactly what happened here, but I will say to anyone else who cares, looking to go skydiving is not the time to bargain hunt. Don't pick the little set up with the modest prices. Save up a little bit of cash before looking for a place to go.
Ughh I can’t imagine at what time he realized that the parachute wouldn’t open. That’s something no one will ever understand. Especially landing that hard. Rest In Peace Tyler
Turner’s wish was kind of granted in a way. We all as kids say we wanna make it to support our family, especially our parents. I’m glad the judge granted them 40 million. Even though that is still too little for the awesome dude Turner seemed like, I hope the money will secure the family. Turner is looking over all of you. What a sad story, man. His mother is a mother we all want, what a loving supporting woman. God bless 🙏🏼
Nevermind that there is an entire family that is on the street now who had nothing to do with any of this. We need to be sure we don't accidentally get off on that part....
Freaking monkeys paw energy. Yuck. Something similar happened with a family friend who did not survive an impact with a drunk driver on the highway. And his kids had everything monetarily they could ever want. All they wanted was a hug from him. The youngest was six months old and the oldest was seven. They're in their thirties now. They still rather have their dad than the money. 😢
@@ChadDidNothingWrong You seem to have not been paying attention. He has multiple siblings-the Turner line is able to live on through multiple branches.
yea I wonder what their conversation was before they hit the ground. Once they realized the chute wouldn't open were they screaming the whole way or comforting each other bracing for impact :/
Dolores Danuco, I don't think you expressed yourself very well. Your greatest fear that came true is that an 18-year-old went skydiving and his parachute didn't open...
Bruh this was his FIRST time skydiving! I’m sure he had all those thoughts of the what if’s like all of us do, but to actually have it happen to him and knowing he was gonna die on the way down makes it even more scary. I’m sure he was screaming
the last seconds when he knew he was gonna make an impact. Horrible. 40 million dollars won't get back this brilliant soul. Edit: Yeah 40 Million dollars is a lot compared to most of the settlements, but a life lost is a life lost.

@@Omar_05 a lot more than I thought was gonna be given. It’s the least they can do is offer money because regardless of the situation it’ll still help the family out even though it won’t bring him back.
The reason why it didn't open is seen in the vid. The flapping fabric above the rig is the drogue chute, it's a tiny parachute meant to stabilize and slow down the freefall. It's also the anchor that pulls out the main chute. But there's no active anchor to pull anything out, it's just flapping in the air. You can have your chute packed perfectly but if can't come out then it's no use. Also, as a skydiver myself, I know you can pack a chute horribly and still have a perfectly functioning parachute above your head as long as you do a few basic principles packing principles right. Packing a chute isn't exact science. Btw, did you notice how the vid never talks about a failed reserve?
Making them pay money is holding them accountable, but how is that "justice"? Somebody needs to be locked up, and that business should have been shut down!
Sydney they're probably gonna take all the money they make until they make enough money for 40m but it's highly unlikely they're gonna pay for it so the company will probably go bankrupt
It’s not justice if you think about it. Just a spur of the moment decision by stupid judges or ‘system’ who already should have shut that place down. 20 people died did the other 19 people also get millions? No they most likely got nothjng but this sweet kid made the judges finally wanna act and give ‘justice’. If it was some random 40 year old black man im sure he would have got nothing or much less.
It’s sad that before he was like “I’m gonna make it it’s gonna be fine” and deep down he knew in fact that was true and then later died from the thing he thought was very unlikely
@DefendTheGospel7 Ya god just decided that this guy in particular, who was entering into a biomedical engineering degree, didn't deserve to live any further. Nice job preying on peoples fear of death on a tragic post like this you leech.
@@Techie1224 Not sure about that since people have survived from such heights. I suppose there is always going to be outliers, but I think death is preferable to an outcome like that.
I can’t believe that they let him jump with a guy who wasn’t even certified. A certified instructor would’ve at least saved their lives if the business owner wasn’t arrested.
I have yet to make my first jump, but the mere fact the drouge chute didn't deploy correctly should have been an early dead giveaway that something was amiss. From what I understand, the drouge puts tenson on a line running from it to the main canopy's deployment bag. When the ripcord is pulled, it pulls a pin that holds a flap on the container (backpack) shut. Once removed, the tension from the drouge chute line pulls the deployment bag out of the container, causing it to pay out its lines. When those lines become taught, the canopy itself is pulled out of the deployment bag. From there, air flows into the individual cells, inflating them. Once inflated, they form an airfoil, producing aerodynamic lift the oppose the force of gravity. Neither of them once looked up to see that the drouge had not inflated. If they had noticed the emergency then and there, the instructor could have manually pulled on the drouge line and manually thrown out the deployment bag, deploying the main canopy then and there. In skydiving (and aviation,) altitude is life insurance- you have more time to correct/address an emergency. This is tragic, but its ultimately a freak accident. It does not excuse the gross negligence of the owner (who employed unlicensed instructors,) but, from what I've been told, most skydivers die with a perfectly functional parachute- poor ADM as us pilots would say.
The best part was the recognition and acknowledge he gave his mom..... Especially when he said "I hope she helps me more because I want to make it..... We're gonna make it!". That brought years to my eyes.
Do you think that a skydiving school has $40 million? Just because the judge tells them to pay 40 million does not mean anything, look at the OJ Simpson case the victims were awarded millions and millions and they have never collected money on that and OJ was rich
Im so sorry for Tyler and his parents. Just 18 yrs old. It is so sad and heartbroken. My deepest condolences to the the family. With all my heart....I have children and I can only imagine the parents pain. I am so deeply sorry. Why the heck has 20 other deaths linked to this place.....not been closed down before hand?
That’s just beyond awful. I can’t imagine what the family is going through. It’s truly a disgrace that this skydiving place was allowed to stay open after 20 deaths in 30 years. This was nothing but negligence on their part and I’m glad the family got some justice.
Me sitting here wondering where the 2 backup chutes were.. Did they not deploy them or did they not have them. Cus I know for fact, where I live, its required by LAW to have 2 backup chutes.
How was this never investigated? Is it common for more than 20 people to die before investigating? Smh the owners don’t care since they kept letting it happen and never learned anything.
@@deadboi3465 What should we investigate? Whether or not gravity is stronger there than in other places? If their clientele is stupid compared to the clientele at other skydiving centers? Why so many people who don't know a thing about skydiving of how/why any of the deaths happened think they have an opinion that matters?

Well technically if you think about it, life just doesn’t end like that, the kid made a choice of being closer to death than your regular daily life by going skydiving.

How would someone survive a parachute not opening?
Super rare just apparently not for this company. I did my first tandem august 12th and I've done 18 solo jumps since. Not only do you have the main chute but you've got a reserve and even if your instructor doesn't pull it an Automatic Activation Device does if you're still going a certain speed at a certain altitude. That's why I'm really curious how this happened and I'm surprised they didn't specify that information.
@@joshhart4931 I did lots of research on this and other fatalities before I went skydiving. Far as I was able to dig up his drogue chute wasn’t cocked before the jump and as a result was uninflated during the jump you can see this in the video. The remedy is to pull your main within 6-8 seconds after you’ve realized your drogue isn’t inflated as it still has enough drag to pull out the main canopy just fine. The Jumpmaster (I use that term loosely he wasn’t correctly certified is my understanding through my research) or the AAD (not sure which or who) fired the reserve into the drogue tangling up the reserve deployment bag with the mains opening system (visible around the 1:56 mark). It was a fixable malfunction. Heartbreaking without a doubt.
@@joshhart4931From what I found out the instructor didn't follow protocol and opened the reserve into the collapsed drogue (drag chute, the small chute in the video) and the reserve became entangled with it and didn't open properly.
The proper protocol afaik would've been to just deploy the main chute after realizing the drogue chute was deflated.
Yes, get rid of the chute and open the reserve.
He may of thought the main didn’t deploy.
I know they’d give back every cent for that amazing young man. So much potential, gone.

Edit: Yeah 40 Million dollars is a lot compared to most of the settlements, but a life lost is a life lost.
Ya but it can help prevent such incidents in future by punishing the company
It’s still a lot of money
yeah that’s crazy imagine knowing you will die and you’re just falling down thinking about everything you have done and then realizing you’re in your final moments
@@soumyaneelmanna3097 @omar I don’t think the company cares and also I don’t think the family care about the money they just wanted their son to be alive
@@Omar_05 a lot more than I thought was gonna be given. It’s the least they can do is offer money because regardless of the situation it’ll still help the family out even though it won’t bring him back.
If his “instructor” wasn’t actually certified, then he probably packed the parachute wrong and that’s why it didn’t open
The reason why it didn't open is seen in the vid. The flapping fabric above the rig is the drogue chute, it's a tiny parachute meant to stabilize and slow down the freefall. It's also the anchor that pulls out the main chute. But there's no active anchor to pull anything out, it's just flapping in the air. You can have your chute packed perfectly but if can't come out then it's no use. Also, as a skydiver myself, I know you can pack a chute horribly and still have a perfectly functioning parachute above your head as long as you do a few basic principles packing principles right. Packing a chute isn't exact science. Btw, did you notice how the vid never talks about a failed reserve?
Yeah
If you think you said something sensible you probably don't have the first clue about skydiving.
Fly Beep Werent they supposed to have a second parachute
@@eaul733 yeah ?
Making them pay money is holding them accountable, but how is that "justice"? Somebody needs to be locked up, and that business should have been shut down!
You're right - no accountability, at least legally and then the Instructor is not even Certified.
Yeah I could’ve died business should have been shut down
Also, where is the 40mil coming from? I know the company doesn’t have it.
Sydney they're probably gonna take all the money they make until they make enough money for 40m but it's highly unlikely they're gonna pay for it so the company will probably go bankrupt
It’s not justice if you think about it. Just a spur of the moment decision by stupid judges or ‘system’ who already should have shut that place down. 20 people died did the other 19 people also get millions? No they most likely got nothjng but this sweet kid made the judges finally wanna act and give ‘justice’. If it was some random 40 year old black man im sure he would have got nothing or much less.
My condolences, he seems like a very sweet guy.
“cause i wanna make it”
that’s terrible, i’m so sorry that he had to die that way. he seemed like an amazing man:(
took the "brake a leg" thing too seriously
It’s sad that before he was like “I’m gonna make it it’s gonna be fine” and deep down he knew in fact that was true and then later died from the thing he thought was very unlikely
@DefendTheGospel7 I am Christian so thank you for that
@DefendTheGospel7 Ya god just decided that this guy in particular, who was entering into a biomedical engineering degree, didn't deserve to live any further. Nice job preying on peoples fear of death on a tragic post like this you leech.
@DefendTheGospel7 dude stop trying to scare people into Christianity.
@DefendTheGospel7 Don't shove your beliefs onto our throat into being religious, you believe what you want and let other people believe theres.
@@akiwi8091 He decided to take a risk and skydive...
i cant imagine that feeling when the parachute didn't open rest in peace bro
Don't jump out of a plane
Flopp if
Floppa
@@isaaccutlip5815 obv he thought it was gonna work which it shoulda worked
@Jesus Cabrera your disgusting
And this is the exact fear and reason why I will never be skydiving in my entire life.
I can't even imagine your body hitting the ground at that altitude
easy fast death ,, its better then living disabled and we all will end up dead
@@felixnicsergulden9786 share it
@@Techie1224 Not sure about that since people have survived from such heights. I suppose there is always going to be outliers, but I think death is preferable to an outcome like that.
@@felixnicsergulden9786 no problem , have a nice day
@@Techie1224 You'll probably find it on r/watchpeopledie or something like that BestGore got shut down. Maybe LiveLeak
I can’t believe that they let him jump with a guy who wasn’t even certified. A certified instructor would’ve at least saved their lives if the business owner wasn’t arrested.
They didn’t know bruh
Save their lives how? Wouldn't this have happened whether or not they were certified?
I believe there were about 20 people who died in the same place while skydiving
@@Dylaannl oh boy i bet you haven't seen a lot of near death sky diving videos
Frequently asking yourself “what’s something cool to search for on youtube”?
Answer: it’s “chill yall”, check and see it yourself!
This is one of the worst feeling while your falling down knowing that you will hit the ground and die, most be the worst feeling there is. R.I.P
that might by the most scarriest thing ever
Actually, the passenger would have little clue. They really would never know. Odd how the instructor did nothing.
I have yet to make my first jump, but the mere fact the drouge chute didn't deploy correctly should have been an early dead giveaway that something was amiss. From what I understand, the drouge puts tenson on a line running from it to the main canopy's deployment bag. When the ripcord is pulled, it pulls a pin that holds a flap on the container (backpack) shut. Once removed, the tension from the drouge chute line pulls the deployment bag out of the container, causing it to pay out its lines. When those lines become taught, the canopy itself is pulled out of the deployment bag. From there, air flows into the individual cells, inflating them. Once inflated, they form an airfoil, producing aerodynamic lift the oppose the force of gravity.
Neither of them once looked up to see that the drouge had not inflated. If they had noticed the emergency then and there, the instructor could have manually pulled on the drouge line and manually thrown out the deployment bag, deploying the main canopy then and there. In skydiving (and aviation,) altitude is life insurance- you have more time to correct/address an emergency.
This is tragic, but its ultimately a freak accident. It does not excuse the gross negligence of the owner (who employed unlicensed instructors,) but, from what I've been told, most skydivers die with a perfectly functional parachute- poor ADM as us pilots would say.
Look at his face. He's so genuine, pure, and loving. I just cant with this. 😢
Nobody makes it out alive. Some don’t live to see their 5th birthday. I’m not losing sleep over a stranger
@@blacksheep8540 I understand you. Thanks for your thoughts.
@@blacksheep8540 how insensitive. You must sleep quite well with an attitude like that.
@@blacksheep8540 but if a kid died before 5 yo his family can replace em with another one 😁
@@melgrant7404 I do actually. I’d trade my brother for half of that
The best part was the recognition and acknowledge he gave his mom..... Especially when he said "I hope she helps me more because I want to make it..... We're gonna make it!". That brought years to my eyes.
This is so heartbreaking. #40 million dollars can never replace him
💯 no amount of money will bring this amazing man back. Gawd I feel for those parents
True but u can cry and mourn in a pool in your mansion in Calabasas lol
Do you think that a skydiving school has $40 million? Just because the judge tells them to pay 40 million does not mean anything, look at the OJ Simpson case the victims were awarded millions and millions and they have never collected money on that and OJ was rich
As someone else explained in the comments, they probably won’t ever receive that money because I doubt the owner has it.
exactly 😣
He is in a better place now. Up in heaven hanging out with his other passed away ones.
Im so sorry for Tyler and his parents. Just 18 yrs old. It is so sad and heartbroken. My deepest condolences to the the family. With all my heart....I have children and I can only imagine the parents pain. I am so deeply sorry.
Why the heck has 20 other deaths linked to this place.....not been closed down before hand?
The good die young, just like in Vietnam & other wars.
That’s just beyond awful. I can’t imagine what the family is going through. It’s truly a disgrace that this skydiving place was allowed to stay open after 20 deaths in 30 years. This was nothing but negligence on their part and I’m glad the family got some justice.
Me sitting here wondering where the 2 backup chutes were.. Did they not deploy them or did they not have them. Cus I know for fact, where I live, its required by LAW to have 2 backup chutes.
How was this never investigated? Is it common for more than 20 people to die before investigating? Smh the owners don’t care since they kept letting it happen and never learned anything.
@@dillon17 I'm wondering that too
@@deadboi3465 What should we investigate? Whether or not gravity is stronger there than in other places? If their clientele is stupid compared to the clientele at other skydiving centers? Why so many people who don't know a thing about skydiving of how/why any of the deaths happened think they have an opinion that matters?
@@NYpaddler 20 people died. Stop covering excuses for your asses. You cant change what happened so stop being negligent
Imagine not doing something for so long and people saying “come on, nothings going to happen” then this happens🤦♂️ RIP MAN!
I’ve been having friends that been trying to convince me to Skydive for years. This is a sign from God that I’m not going to do it.

Sorry for their loss. I dont know much about skydiving..but isn't there supposed to be a spare parachute if the main one fails to open?
I couldn’t imagine watching my son fall to his death, how horrifying for his mother.
No one talking about the instructor. May he rest in peace as well❤️
Asian lives matter!
His life did matter. You also can’t expect everyone to look towards the UNCERTIFIED instructor with innocent eyes.
@@Huasipungero oh please. This has nothing to do with race! This incident happened in 2016. They literally said he was an uncertified instructor. What made you think he would be the main topic of this video over the 18yr old kid? And the correct term is “protect asian lives” or “stop asian hate”. Saying “asian lives matter” deteriorates from the movement “black lives matter”.🤦🏿♂️
@@rodh3489 How about all lives better😌
Yes it’s also sad the instructor died too , I was thinking the same thing
I have an 18 year old son who is the light of my life. I can’t imagine being in this mom’s shoes right now. My heart breaks for her and the family. 😢
I was with a woman ( on and off )for 11years. In 2015 her 23 year old son died. She lost her mind. Im talking absolutely crazy. Her and Devin had a bond that was unbelievable. I knew the day he died, she was not going to be ok, like everyone kept saying.
Pray well
@@clownchaostime3024 another reason I never had kids !!
