Worst Skydiving Student Mistake Spinning Low Altitude Deployment AFF Category E2 AFF Happens

Поделиться

  • Опубликовано: 25 апр 2020
  • AFF Category E2 is the last jump before a student is allowed to jump unsupervised solo. In this video, the student had a great jump overall until it came to the final step, deployment. The student's body position was head high and his legs were on his butt. This made for a very unstable body position. Most importantly, the student almost forgot the most important priority of any skydive, PULL. Priority #2 is to pull at the correct altitude. Stability while pulling is the least important, and as you can see this student forgot that. Skydiving Gone Wrong

    He panicked. The worst possible thing you could ever do during free fall. Helpful advice for future AFF's; if you ever find yourself in this situation, don't worry about trying to get stable. Pull anyways. Deployment might be a bit uncomfortable, but you won't put yourself in a deadly situation with a low altitude deployment.

Shoe almost came off from the head-down opening; got back to the packing bench, clenched it seems like forever; I already had it in my head, "I'm self-grounding". DZ Manager walked over, asked if I was OK, and started to . . . . , but I told him faster. He did ask me to show, and pack student rigs for that month, for a fee; each pack got me a 5K ft jump, didn't need to pay for quite a while.

      My very first jump I was safely under main canopy when my AAD fired for no reason sending out my reserve which was an old front style as I was under and round canopy. I never missed a beat. I just instinctively grabbed it, wadded it up and held it between my legs until I landed. The next load of students had my dad in it. He screwed up his PLF, hit hard on his ass and compressed two vertebrae. We came out in our van so I drive him to the hospital. My mom cut off his skydiving days right there. That was a day.

    • @thattablebloke
      @thattablebloke 2 года назад +3

      Youre pulling on a little hackey ball which pulls out a pilot chute (like a small round parachute) which needs to deploy clearly behind you and fill with air, which then pulls out your main parachute from the bag. Everything is folded and packed in order to release without any advanced mechanisms or wires or anything like that, there's just a pin holding your bag closed. It's probably the best system and position for a clean deployment (interesting to read about too). You could design a system for a front release I guess but it would be more complicated and not just everything folded and packed together and really you want the system to be as simple as possible. Also your cutaway handles are on the front for emergencies, these are two pads/handles to pull if you need to cutaway your main parachute/canopy and deploy a reserve. I think it would be definitely be confusing and dangerous having 3 things to pull on the front, students would be cutting their canopy away completely on accident lol .

    • @Joker-qz1zv
      @Joker-qz1zv 2 года назад +2

      It just has to do with the type of rig. Air Force teaches skydiving with rigs that have the rip cord on the harness between chest and rib cage. It is to help jumpers remain stable while pulling as you don’t have to move your arm as far. I may be wrong but I think it takes longer to pack with ripcords because you have to route them through the whole rig. Not to mention all the ripcords that get dropped accidentally after being pulled. Hope this helps!

    • @ailek95
      @ailek95 3 года назад +9

      Because it is not really a cord. It is a pilot chute; a round auxiliary small "parachute" that inflates and pulls the actual parachute out of the container where it is stowed.
      It is of major importance for this chute not to inflate by mistake before it is due, so it is placed in a safe spot where it won't inflate by mistake and where it won't be pulled too early.

    • @Joker-qz1zv
      @Joker-qz1zv 2 года назад +1

      Hey Steve, I have no experience civilian skydiving, but I recently got the opportunity to go through the Air Force. The training rigs they use have a velcro handle connected to a ripcord placed on the right rib cage; similar to what you described. They use them because our first ever jump is solo and you can stay far more stable while pulling; the arms don’t have to move as far. I think the far more common location is on the back because it takes less time to repack and you will lose less ripcords.

  • @treborhi
    @treborhi 10 месяцев назад

    I got 206 jumps but the last one was 25 years ago, haha! I just couldn't progress with the relative work and finally hung it up. So, some experience, but not compared to the AFF instructors who've got thousands of jumps! So, I comment/ask with all humility & respect.
    At 1:19 the student attempts to deploy, becomes unstable and ultimately flips over onto his back at 1:24. As I recall, students generally deploy at 5,500 ft and fall approximately 1000 ft every 6 seconds. So maybe the instructor can allow 12 seconds for the student to recover and deploy before he moves in and pulls the students rip cord? You know, give the student a chance to prove he can save his own life.
    At 1:33 in the video, it appears the student has his hand on his rip cord and within the same second the instructor deployed his chute. At this juncture the student is well below the instructor. Looks like the student totally got away from him.
    It appears the instructor deployed before the student but hard to tell as links to other video's pop-up & overlay the main video thereby blocking the view. That "arghh" the instructors makes under canopy suggests to me that he himself was scared. That he almost lost a student!
    Anyway, should've the instructor docked on him the moment he flipped over and assisted him in regaining stability.

(One thousand Look thousand In thousand Pull) ...then 5 second delay....10 second delay etc. by the time you are doing 30 second delays from 8500 you KNOW how to fall stable and pull stable with a drilled wave-off. And Christ help you if you were a student and pulled below 3500. Do it twice and get grounded for a month. I watch a few skydive vids on here and so often I see people dump in a track no wave off no looking where the hell is the other guy.
