Paratroopers called us a Hollywood jump. No combat equipment, no ground, and out of a helicopter is about the easiest jump you can make.
It absolutely was Hollywood jump. No H harness or equipment to deal with. No opening shock to speak of since it is Rotary wing and you don’t have to worry about your PLF because you have on water wings and your feet never touch the ground. i’ve made these jumps out of a UH1 and C-130. Good times.
My first thought was why are they in their PT gear? Unless thats the new way to go to war ? :-)
@@jdo2574 My very first thought my second thought was how gay those Rangers looked in their short shorts. LoL
Yeah right .... leg.
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART
Thanks, great information.
좋은 훈련이네요 ..우리나라도 이렇게 해야 하는데.. 훈련만큼 중요한건 없는거지요..
Was trained for a water landing(very long ago), but never had to do it. But, while in training heard of one stick that was doing a night jump. As they got closer to ground they could see the surface of the water in the reflections of the night sky. So, as trained, just before impact, drop out of harness so the chute doesn't get pulled on top of you.. Reduces chance of getting drowned under the canopy. Only problem. It wasn't a lake. It had recently rained and it was a parking lot with an inch or two of water. Resulted in training mission canceled, and broken bones.
😮
I remember hearing similar stories. Never did a water landing either, but damn, looks fun!
Almost the same thing on Sicily drop. Rain came just before the jump. A friend thought long street was a water landing. He panicked and undis his harness and hopped free from too high. 2 broken ankles and I never saw him again. He was at womac when we left for Europe. Gone when we returned
Before D-day the Germans had flooded the fields about 4’ deep. Our paratroopers had 100# on their backs and those who hit the flooded fields drowned. I can’t come up with words to express my true appreciation, respect, love and admiration for that sacrifice.
On D-Day the landing troops carried over 70 lbs. on their backs and they drowned when they had to leave the landing craft before it got anywhere near the beach.
Or profound sorrow and forever gratitude
Drown in four feet of water? Interesting.
Yet Germans were smarter and better regardless. The US remains a 'best of trash' option. Now women are serving because the men are so bad.
@@sublime929Read. They had over 100# on their backs. Maybe you should try getting all the parachute harness off to have the ability to get the pack off with all the extra straps and confinement that kept it place for the jump. They jumped from about 400 feet so they were moving fast with the chute above them when they hit. They could hold their breath only so long and that first gasp of water pretty much tells the rest of the story.
Our head camera man jumped with an MC-6 parachute, it can be controlled and rotated quickly (6s) T-11 cannot be controlled, only tricky. The MC-6 is at least a circular dome parachute, it's good if you can move a little, change your position before reaching the ground. Own experience.
1:28 the hook locking latch does not close. That can lead to an accident.
excellent excersices
military
I static lined jumped in Arizona in the 1980s,that was scary enough.
Qu' y a t'il d' effrayant dans ce saut ? En tant que force spéciale j' en ai effectué plusieurs et à chaque fois c'était un super plaisir;comme tous mes sauts.....
13:50 30 years later and everything still looks like 1980s robots from films like "Short Circuit".
멋지다. 최고!! 우리나라는 일부 부대에서 훈련예산이 부족해서인지 헬기 강하보다 기구강하를 많이 사용해왔는데 지금도 그런지 모르겠네요. 헬기 강하 좋은 방법이네요. 찰과상으로 부산에서 서울까지 이동할 예산 절약해서 군 훈련에 사용하길 바랍니다.
지금은 그렇지 않습니다....기상만 안좋을때 기구강하를 합니다....시누크타고 막바지엔 성남가서 비행기 타고
いい訓練だ！
holy crap.. jumping antique T38? hehehehe
Legendary men !!!!
I jumped into water from the side of my bathtub this morning.
Sounds like you made a splash.
👍👍👍
Por isso que eles são os melhores do mundo
A friend did a perfect "tree landing." The first problem was he broke branches on the way down. The second problem was, one of the branches stabbed him in the side, and hit his collar bone from the inside. The BIG problem was an officer heard him moaning and came to help. And stepped on the branch in Andy's side. Andy survived.

Мы такие прыжки на воду отрабатывали еще в 1972 году на куполах ПД-47 с вертолетов Ми-8 !)😂

Mott lake from hueys in my time. I miss my feet being on the skids
Mott Lake- that's a "blast from the past"! Hadn't thought of that in years...
@@tdrive398 1980-1983 sometimes I miss it, but maybe I just want to be that young again
💪
Airbag deployed. Yeah I was wondering about equipment. Think breaking off from the chute before you hit would be best.
Rangers lead the way.
To be truthful Pathfinders lead the way! Everybody forgets us
@@marklangkamp3151 H/T to Pathfinders, but I jumped in plenty of times without use of one.
미군이 강력한 이유는 천조국이여서 아니다.....이런 훈련을 정기적으로
실시할 수 있는 나라가 없다!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
우리나라에서는 상상도 못할 반바지에 반팔 차림으로 점프 부러울 따름이네요
RANGERS Lead the way
Rangers lead the way
Hoo-rah!!!
1. Water jumps are rare. Additional time, effort and facilities are required to air/dry out the parachute. It's a PITA.
2. The helo is NOT "fast-moving".
3. It's not "scary"- it's *fun* (these were often called "fun jumps").
4. The most dangerous part is actually once you hit the water- there is danger from the canopy and the lines.
heli jumps are for the soul
Yes SHOW
No chutes tho but closer to water
ยากกว่าโดดลงบกอีก.อันตราย
Have you seen the open hook at 1:30 on the right side? 😮
Yep- looks like maybe it had a bad spring. The "gate" was still facing the correct way, though- so minimal risk. As long as the pilot didn't do a sharp banking maneuver to the right, everyone should be o.k.
We often had jumpers clipped in to either "seat belts" or onto a safety ring as an additional safety measure. These would be disconnected by the JM and stowed around the "3 minute" mark.
I was the PJM (Primary Jumpmaster) on a C130 jump; we'd already had the "3 minute slow-down" and the Load Master had turned the door over to me. I'm glad I had a good grip on the door frame, because suddenly the pilot executed a steep left bank (I was almost looking straight down at the ground). The plane popped back upright and I was staring at the leading edge of the DZ! That MFer had been flying N to S instead of W to E... 🙄
haha shorts and tshirts just like in combat...
My last jump was from a Blackhawk in Italy.
Vincenza?
@@MrMojo271 It’s actually “Vicenza.”
It must be very difficult to get out of the water with full equipment, backpack and weapons...
Well we know you don’t have jump wings. first of all, we don’t have our full equipment with these jumps. secondly, we’re wearing what we call water wings. there are a life preserver that fits underneath your armpits that you inflate before you go into the water. so you’re supported and one of the things you practice in jump school is getting out of that harness quickly. so no, there’s a piece of cake. they come pick you up in the zodiac, if you got someone aboard to help you on and pull your equipment, all the water. it only gets to be a chore once you’re on land.
@@marchutton7640 So our military has to provide you with a child’s water wings to earn jump wings. Man have we stepped to a new low with you. But your explanation how the same equipment used in WW2 continues to be issued today and is saving lives. Having all those additional harnesses pulled so tight it took straining both arms to unbuckle each one didn’t slow those heros down one bit. But it kept that parachute attached to the over 250 pounds when it opened. What’s even more impressive are all the additional harnesses and metal buckles pulled to the maximum so the 100 pounds strapped to their backs didn’t bounce around as they walked. You aren’t familiar with anything, not even Wikipedia, about an event that took place EIGHTY years ago.
You reek of stolen valor. Good luck with that when a real man notices it in passing.
It can be. In my experience, we rarely performed water jumps in full combat equipment.
There are different ways to enter the water from an aircraft: via parachute, and by helocasting. If we were parachuting out of a helo, the easiest was to do a tailgate (usually out of a CH-46 or CH-47). Attempting a full combat equipment jump out of a "Slick" (Huey) or a Blackhawk is *not* optimal.
All gear needed to be prepped to float- you didn't want your gear to drag you under water; we also didn't use the HPT lowering line on our ruck as we did for normal (land) jumps for this reason.
All that & a pay check too?!
Sometimes I couldn't believe I was getting paid to do some of the stuff I was asked to do!
Get outta way little girl. The men are working
I'm sure there is all kinds of stuff that we can pick a part but that was off the hook
Seems as though they are high enough that a failure in any way would mean you die
Or since it's h2o, what a swan dive ?
De@th is a possibility, but unlikely. For intentional water jumps, "water wings" or PFDs (Personal Flotation Devices) were mandatory. Hitting water from too high an altitude or too fast can be like hitting concrete-it *hurts*. In helocasting (different from a "water jump"), the 'normal' was "30 and 30" (30' above the water, 30 knots airspeed). An (ahem) 'unsanctioned' helocast of "50 and 50" was *significantly* different- hitting the water can "knock the 'wind' out of you"... and you'll be thanking God for those irritating PFDs.
"Swan dives" aren't recommended, as unknown underwater hazards (or water being too shallow) could result in serious injury. We're taught a safer method to enter the water, minimizing the depth you 'sink' in.
this is old
俺には無理です。高度恐怖症ですかね？
To loud, to high
wouldn't really call this a fast mover.
Thosseee are rangers……. paratroops never would get a nice bath before an operation
R2D2 might be in the battle field in the future...
Woke up joked
I am sorry, but paratroopers never deliberately land in a body of water. They are usually accidentally dropped in water of are blown off course by high winds. In fact, it is the worst thing ever to be fully wet in a combat or survival situation. What you are showing here is specialized training for the US ARMY RANGER Jump School.
Always be ready for the unexpected, always train for the unexpected.. then your ready
Hi. Never do this again. My deeply respects.
Qu'ils aillent faire des sauts commandos avec largage à moins de 200 mètres d'altitude,avec les commandos Parachutistes de Marine Français🏴☠️🇨🇵 ,c'est autres choses,.,est plus jouissif ,.il y a plus d'adrénaline 👍
Vos sauts c'est vraiment de la rigolade, aucun risque de se faire BOBO😂😂
