*slowly erases skydiving from bucket list*
No need just make sure it is the last thing on your bucket list
Sky Diving isn't all that dangerous. Statistically speaking you have a higher chance of dying on your way to the sky diving place then you do jumping out of the plane. I've gone twice now and plan on a third!
I did yesterday and it was the best experience of my entire life
😭
Definitely have to do it. It is so much fun.
Is this a birthday gift to speed up the granny's entry to paradise?
My mates daughter one day said to her grandmother, nanny, can you make a noise like a frog, why said nanny, cos daddy said, when grandma croaks, we,re going to disneyland.......
@@paulallen8137 ... omg.
Driving to get to the sky dive facility is far more dangerous and likely to kill you than any skydive.

Legend has it that guy is still being dragged around by that rogue parachute
I joined an Army National Guard Airborne unit years ago. The company of almost 200 men and women had jumped from a C141 the year before at the start of their 2 week training. It was a night jump. The Air Force personnel that ran the jump from the aircraft F'ed up and had them beginning their jump when they were halfway into the drop zone.
Almost the entire company landed in an area covered with huge rocks and trees. The First Sargent was one of the last to be discharged from the Army with a medical disability. He could not walk without a cane. He said you could hear bones breaking like popcorn popping. Over 100 people in the company were medically discharged with permanent, physical injuries!
I made 5 jumps to qualify, 3 from Huey's, 1 C130, and 1 C141. Then I was made net control station (NCS) operator of ground communications for jumps (when one was needed) as I was the only person in the entire battalion who had experience working as an NCS operator of radio net, outside of a training classroom. I was very happy with that, not having to jump.
Correct me if I am wrong, but the Jumpmaster controls the jump. I am a leg, so feel free to bombard me with the specifics.
Well that’s one thing off the bucket list 😮
you just have to move it down the list
Imagine having a whole empty desert to land in and somehow you hit the only solid object for miles.
I was saying that like come on dawg lmao
Dude looked like he was fucking aiming for it aswell
when this guy pees, he aims for the flush

Wow! That last Ghost parachute was insane!
Shit look like a flying jellyfish 👀
I've gone skydiving once. I paid to solo. They did a day's worth of training and had 2 jump masters on both sides of me when we did it. It all went well until I pulled the cord and the parachute immediately twisted. You spin so fast that you barely realize what happened. I looked up and the lines were twisted but I was vertical. They had talked about this in the school and said you should start kicking your feet "rotationally" in the direction to untwist it.. I did that.. and it very quickly untwisted.. Then I was like.. huh.. that went ok.. I checked the lines.. All was well so I disconnected the "I think they're called toggles" to steer with and floated to the ground!
and they said 1-10 jumps the lines will twist,,,,,
@@rickwhite7715 I don't remember them telling me that. They only said it was possible. I suppose they don't want to scare people away before trying it. 😆
Which place is this that allows you to sky dive solo just after a day's worth of training ? Their license should be cancelled immediately. Where is this place ? I need to report it.
@@rickwhite7715 Bullshit! I did 53 jumps before I had any line twists. IF you are getting them in 1-10 jumps you need to improve your body position when deploying the canopy.
@@Rudi_Mentary723 It could be ANY skydive centre that offers AFF training. You aren't jumping solo, you have 2 instructors in the air with you, and a radio link to an instructor on the ground. The person in the comment wasn't physically attached to anyone, so it's 'solo' in that sense.

@@SURGE101 "bAdBoYbaRbER"
You mean arms?
Ok Karen
I’ve done 170 jumps in years gone but over here in Britain we are taught that you NEVER deploy a reserve without first cutting away your main. That is just asking for trouble.
@cameraflyer Thank you for that information, I didn’t know that.
NEVER jump out of a plane that is not about to crash
I actually think the last one should have been number 1. Not knowing if your going to be dragged until your death is a scary realization.
Glad I watched this after going skydiving
King Juan I just finished my tandem jump yesterday and it was amazing!!! These situations are really rare but as skydivers we need to be really careful
Tell me, is the world flat or round up there?
I just jumped today and it looked pretty flat ngl 😂
Did you die... jk
@@yellowdayz1800 Nah mate, it's a cube.
legend says that last guy is still at it to this day
If I was the ceamera man I would run and help him
I don't care how much the chute costs, if that was me. At that point, and I mean like right when it started to rag doll him, the knife is coming out. Like the one guy also had to cut away his main chute so that he could open his reserve. This makes it seem like all skydivers should carry a knife with serrated blade. Similar to what you want for cutting a seat belt if needed. Pretty much can't find a folding pocket knife without a half serrated blade now. Manufacturers think it looks cool.
I like to think that the guy who was knocked out, woke up, and pulled his shoot was the same guy as the last guy...I mean, I know it's not, but that's how it's edited. From one damn thing to the next. Lol
@@K.J.Ray421 I agree but I'm so blind I'll probably end up cutting the wrong line and die.
He was dead I guess
I'm sorry, but I couldn't stop laughing at the last scene with the "dirt devil" dragging that guy all over. And then other people were trying to catch him. Classic.
Almost a Benny Hill episode.
i just can imagine how glad you have to be, to feel so good to live, after surviving something like this. then you going to start living and appreciate the life for real.
Watching this was scarier than when I actually went skydiving
Omg I feel the same!!
@@tracyhastheruns5883 if you have the runs, you may need some tablets. Oh, and stay away from hot curry.
What do you think of the last one, where the wind carried the skydiver after he landed?
They have the whole sky yet the two planes collide
It’s fishy but looked so good
Right? That’s so weird for two planes to just collide like that. I thought planes have radars to detect other planes? 🤔
Yeah I found that wierd
I’m a pilot. There’s certain areas that are designated for skydiving to keep other aircraft away. Since two planes were dropping off skydivers at the same time and same area it makes a mid air collision more likely. Not all planes have a radar to see other traffic.
My one and only jump in 1984 was very similar to 1:15 minus the injuries. It was a static line jump with modified military chute from a Cessna 172. It had same type flip up door and step platform bolted to the landing gear. Had a good exit at 3000 feet off the platform after climbing out and a good opening. Was aiming for a target in the grass near the runway and was about to bullseye the landing when a sudden wind gust came when I was about 100-125 feet up. It caught me good and no toggling helped so it put me right over the paved runway. I landed with the proper form but hit very hard and why I didn't break anything I'll never know. Nothing broken but I had to see a chiropractor a few days later. I was 36 years old at the time. I was the first one out of the plane but the 2nd guy out had a bad landing. I was picking up my chute after checking myself over when I saw him land poorly and not get up. I dropped my chute, ran over, and he was really screaming because he had shattered both ankles. On the second plane load a jumper had his reserve chute deploy when they opened the door but they fortunately contained it and decided to land. I was going to make a second jump that day but promised my wife if the whole deal looked like a cluster fuck I wouldn't jump. I did get the 1st jump in but decided not to do a second. That was the end of my parachuting adventure. I'm now about to celebrate my 75th birthday and sometimes when I think back on it I wonder what the hell was I ever thinking. Oh, I almost forgot. My buddy who talked me into the whole deal landed in the trees. Bad day.
I'm 74 and still jumping. Still a load of fun.
Guy: look there’s a plane!!😱 We might get hit!!!!!
Girl: wooooo yeah!!!!!! Woohoo!!!
Sounds like Izzy from total drama

@@seanrichard1741 ah yes, people who are afraid to risk their life and jump from a plane flying 10,000 feet above the air are so lame
Skydiving is honestly the best feeling in the world lol. I did it the first time back in August 2021. Went back and did it again July 2022.
@@axyspianostudio Yeah, kinda, but there's nothing wrong with being lame. Some people just chase the feeling that safety doesn't provide
Yep definitely crossing this off my list
Awwww, that Dust Devil wanted to play. SO CUTE^^
Some info about the five numbered ones...
#5 - The harness was properly adjusted to begin with but the way she fell in the door (not shown in this compilation) let her slip out a bit. Harnesses have been redesigned to prevent this.
#4 - Arm severed from spine is a stupid thing to say...but the skydiver did suffer enough nerve damage that he lost the arm.
#3 - An issue with the way the rig was manufactured caused the snag preventing proper deployment & cutaway. That manufacturer has redesigned the rig to prevent that type of malfunction in the future.
#2 - They didn't almost hit a plane...the plane almost hit them. That plane is the one they jumped out of, the pilot was trying to get back to the ground as soon as possible.
#1 - The video says 6 skydivers but there were actually 9 (4 in one plane, 5 in the other). Everyone survived...all 9 jumpers got out & away, the pilot bailed out of the plane that lost the wing, the other pilot was able to land safely.
Good eye by the instructor who spotted the close plane. Might have been a good idea to track away though instead of watching it miss you by a few inches.
@@JohnHalas yea, track away isnt really an option....
Finally somone who now's something ! You should have been commenting this video, would not be impressed if you're a skydiver too
Humans fail, equipment fails, gravity is remarkably consistent.
I don't buy your explanation on #3. Looks like a bad cutaway, either left-right pull instead of right-left or simultanious left and right pull in a panicked situation. There's nothing for a main to snag on with the three ring release and with proper sequencing a reserve can never get near the main. You have some specific info about this? What I see on the vid is when the reserve is deployed there's no tension on the lines which means he was still fully attached to his main and not just a snag. My bet is he pulled his reserve first right into his main and then cutaway the main of course at that point the main gets snagged in whatever mess that's created.
That lady at the beginning really got her money's worth paying for the video.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂❤🙏🏻 God bless HER and this comment. Lol
Happy 80th BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!!!!!!!!!!
0:46 that granny almost gave us the mother of all moons!
I was expecting the last skydive gone wrong was "Skydiver jumps out of plane but forgot his parachute"...lol I used to handglide when I was a kid and I loved it. Cheers from Canada.
Damn that last one I wanted to help him so bad
Black Hole That was hilarious. How about carrying scissors.
I laughed uncontrollably.
I kept yelling 8 seconds boys 8 seconds!
I saw a buddy chasing him and thought, "oh yay he's gonna get him." Then I'm. "Oh no he fell down!" "Wait there's another buddy standing right in front of him, he'll get him." "Oh, well maybe that wasn't his buddy cuz he just stood there and watched him get dragged by." WTF was that?!
It looked like he was caught in a dust devil.
I did a duo jump once. When we jumped, the first thing I thought of was "well, this was it. I'm going to die". I can't imagine the fear that poor old lady must have felt and the sheer guild and shock for that instructor...
Lol you’re funny but that’s also horrifying
I felt fear the first time I dove. That fear she that I think she felt, to me, is incomprehensible, more than actually dying.
She actually went back for a 2nd dive a year later. Thats what i call a powermove 💪
@@anyas.2211 I'm thinking she wouldn't want to do anything for the rest of her life after that guess age really is just a number 😂😂
@@anyas.2211 It's called dementia.
I’m afraid of heights and now I’m surely convinced this is not for me 🤣
Just went this past weekend. 1 of the greatest experiences i’ve ever had
I had my first and only parachute jump in 1986. It was a static line round canopy jump from 2,500ft. Just before I jumped I asked my jumpmaster if he ever had to use his reserve chute. He said something like "in over five hundred jumps I've never had to pull my reserve". After I jumped he went out. All I saw was his main chute floating free and a second reserve chute open. I jinxed the poor sob. He landed in the trees somewhere but he was ok.
Kid: wants to go sky diving for their birthday. Parents: It is time.
*edited while it still is saying the same thing*
I did go skydiving to celebrate 25 years on this earth. My girlfriend at the time accompanied me to watch. We drove out to the drop site. I and two others had to take a morning of lessons on the ground to become versant in all 'what if...' situations, and to practice where to put our various arms and legs on the exit. We used a mock up plane on the ground. My girl was bored waiting for me, so when she was offered a tandem jump, she said yes, on her own dime. It's too bad I was not ready to settle down for the long haul. That girl was a keeper.
@@Ace01.. Nice story :)
Exactly, 😂

"His left arm was severed from his spine"... That is the point where I could no longer listen to you and I stopped watching the video.
The narrator needs a serious lesson in anatomy. Your "arm" is not connected to your "spine"
TC 1:40 - he also says "prejectory". it's pronounced trajectory.
@Seth'sChopShop i'm not here to fight.... but i just want to say that everyone makes mistakes. And i am thankful for people that tell other about it, in a nice way. Anyway, i did not see that it was for Taxi :)
That checks out.

I think it was the script he was reading off of, though I could be wrong.
he didn't listen to the "Dem Bones" song when he was a kid, leave him alone, bub.
As a recently licensed skydiver, I'm thankful to know that a few of these are not as scary as they look / could have been easily prevented, but others definitely send a chill down the spine.
Keep us updated, wear a GoPro, and put me as your beneficiary
"but others definitely send a chill down the spine" The lady falling out of the tandem harness got me.
these are definitely not the top 5. because these people lived.
Soooo... you still alive? Lol
@@thetruepatriot7733 if you're asking me, yes, lol but I don't skydive anymore.
I did one solo skydive after a days training from 3,000ft. The shute is a static line, rather like the old war films and is connected to a line that pulls the cord as you leave the plane. The shute opened ok but the lines were twisted when it opened, we were taught to spin to undo it and this worked. I then gripped the risers (or toggles) and by luck more than intent executed a perfect landing, the strange thing was at the time I think back I wasn't all that worried. Before we jumped we were all given a number and a small receiver so we could take instructions from the ground, unfortunately the second person refused to jump so the second person to jump was really number 3. the man on the ground didn't know this and kept calling to number 2 (not 3) to tack into the wind as they were heading to a river, thankfully he was ok. This was in the UK at Headcorn 1993.
I jumped at Omro Wi. in the early 90s and looking down at the power lines and highway before you get to the field where you land gave me a little anxiety.I found out the hard way that the ground is harder than the bones in my ankle.I got a nice ride to the hospital in an ambulance with 3 bones broke in my ankle and got the wind knocked out of me.Even after getting hurt you are still feeling high as a kite from the adrenaline.
“Projectory”??
Arm severed from spine???
Slow down chief...
didnt catch the projectory the first time lmao who let this guy narrate?
That round canopy caught in a thermal so he kept landing over and over happened at one of the drop zones I jumped at. Three of us were jumping either TU’s or Aero Conicals (this was back in the 70’s) and the wind picked up as we were landing.
My friend went back up in the air a couple of times before collapsing her chute and I went up once but then got dragged across a runway and tore two rather large holes in my trousers…. but I at least knew to grab one of the risers and started pulling in one set of lines to get the canopy to deflate.
But man… the laughter of my friends coupled with pain in my rear end really annoyed me because it grounded me from further jumps that day as the runway had caused friction burns through my almost new jumpsuit, my only pair of jeans there and my underwear before going through my skin as well. Had to sleep on my front for a while, I can tell you. Oh and the drive home was horrible too. 🥹
One of my brothers was a paratrooper in the army.He once said to me”Anybody jumping from a perfectly good plane without good reason,is a fkn idiot”
He must have quit.
@@theengineerguy1485 No,he did a term in Malaya,trying to put down terrorists to protect people like YOU.
Yep
@@theengineerguy1485 No, as a paratrooper he had a good reason to jump from a perfectly good plane. Anyone else has not. It's quite astonishing what people are willing to do, just to get an adrenaline kick.
”Anybody jumping from a perfectly good plane without good reason, is a fkn idiot” In the case of a military C130, from the inside is sounds like a coffee can full of marbles being shaken... It may be a "perfectly good plane", but sure sounds like its literally falling from the inside
about to go skydiving tomorrow so decided to watch this
Just did my 1st tandem jump. Getting ready to start my AFF!
Casually watching this video hours before my skydiving
😂🤣😂
Me too
I thankfully went today. That lady falling out of her harness had my heart pounding haha cause mine was loose and before we jumped I asked the guy to tighten them. Fuck me haha hell of an experience though! Would go again but maybe not soon cause of this video.

In 2005/2006, at Dillingham Field on Oahu, a woman went for a tandem jump. Her "instructor" was a highly experienced gentleman in his 70s. On the way down, he had a heart attack and died. They landed on a reef if I remember correctly and the poor woman drowned. When I heard the news, it turned out the guy I was driving with had worked as a skydive instructor and knew the man who died. Very, very sad.
There's a funny line in the movie "Objective Burma" starring Errol Flynn. They're going to parachute into enemy territory and someone asks Flynn's character, "What if my emergency chute doesn't open?" Flynn's response; "Then you'll be the first man on the ground!" What a card was!
9:05 Imagine thinking you touched ground and your parachute is like yay that was fun let's do it again and drags you back into the air lol
🤣
Ok that is off the bucket list pfft.
I don't I'll think about it
I don’t think I could ever go skydiving. I tried the indoor one once several years ago. I think the worst one on this list was the first clip. Can’t imagine not being strapped in correctly and having to hang on as much as possible. I think I would have had a stroke and a heart attack at the same time. I hope that lady was ok after that,
I know that you're not a skydiver and you're reacting like the ignorant you are with all due respect (ignorant meaning the lack of knowledge that you have on this matter, and by the way I am a skydiver) she was strapped in correctly, what happened here was that the old lady tried to hold on to the plane and she wouldn't let go, there's the complete video where you can see that, by doing that she unlocked herself from her instructor's harness as they started falling, her instructor jumped according to plan and following the flight line, the plane is still moving forward and in order to jump and land on the dropzone they have to do it quickly, long story short it was her fault, thank god they landed safely.
At her age, they forget things very quickly. A younger person would've gone back to school instead.
@@junofranco6638 she did go back the next year & did skydive again, this time she didn't loosen her straps without asking the instructor first. It was her fault she fell out.
The first five are all over the Internet. The last two were awesome!
This was the motivation I needed . I'm gonna pick up an army man parachute toy at the super market this week.
If the pilot is wearing a parachute, I'm not going.
Pilots are required to wear a parachute by the FAA
Guess you’re never going skydiving then
But why? Is there more risk than just regular plane?
@@shinichigojir12 Sometimes when jumpers exit an aircraft they accidentally deploy their parachute. This can cause the stabilizers (wings &/or tail) in the back of they plan to be damaged or ripped off. The plan goes into an uncontrollable dive and then crashes into the Earth.
🤣😂
I will never watch this video, but I love you all for doing it!
Watching this again to regain my fear of skydiving
This just secured that i will never sky dive
The only way I would do this is if plane was going to crash and I had a choice jump or crash
It’s a truly humbling experience
I didn't need to watch this, to secure I would never skydive.
The most exciting thing I've ever done..Static line, first jump over Wisconsin. The scariest part was climbing out of the Cessna and hanging on the wing support bar before letting go. 90 + knot winds and a bar too big to get your fingers around, you'd feel like you want to climb back in, but there's no turning back.. would do it again though 😊
Yeah it was sheer terror climbing out of a plane and hanging off the wing support bar-going against your instincts screaming to preserve your life-less than 2 days training and you are supposed to be a stunts man hanging off a plane!
At least you had a step... When I went the first time, there was just the door. Because of that, as I went out (sideways to the wind of course), the wind hit my head and torso first, causing me to start spinning to the right, twisting the lines. It wasn't a huge problem because they were simple twists and I was at 3000 feet. Oh, and the "one-way" radio they gave us didn't work at all, but they had a huge pivoting arrow on the ground we could look down and and head that direction, so it all worked out. Lastly, they told us ahead of time that we wouldn't be able to tell them the color of our parachute. Yeah right. Did my jump, turned in the chute, and the guy asked me the color. SOB... I couldn't tell him. Funny thing is that I remembered later, but yeah, it's sensory overload.
It's amazing with all that sky and no traffic jam and there are collisions!
i may have a strange kind of humor but i really had to laugh at the last one when i noticed the video was on fast forward and the other guy tried to catch him and missed 😂
good thing the lady didnt broke her spine after landing on her back, god damn t'was scary as hell.

Back around 1986 I saw a news clip on the evening news showing the last jump of a skydiver. He was so excited about his new helmet cam he was eager to try out that he forgot to put on his parachute. He was excited at first about the views he was getting and a couple of divers were trying to get to him but he moved away from them. About half way down is when he made the discovery about his missing chute and then clearly panic set in. They stopped the video shortly before he hit the ground and died. The last thing they showed was when he looked up and saw all the deployed chutes over his head from the other skydivers.
Back in the late 70’s or early 80’s a skydiver landed on the top of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Mo. The wind knocked him off the top down one of the legs. His chute couldn’t open.
I was 21 when I attended a class.. the following day I was to do a static line jump but weather made it necessary to come back the following weekend... I totally chickened out and never did the jump...
You know how there are things you regret in life or wish you had it to do over again?.... This isn't one of them. A month later the guy that had encouraged us to try it... broke both his ankles from a hard landing.
“This wasn’t one of them” lmao
Isnt* 😂
No reason to break anything when jumping. An army MC-1 falls at 21 ft. per second and thousands of paratroopers land everyday without breaking anything. A civilian/square canopy slows you to 2 or 3 FPS when flaired. No more impact on legs than hoping down a stair or two.
@@fslater102 People who've been walking for decades can still trip. When a guy with over 100 jumps breaks both ankles.. it tells you there are risks you cannot always avoid... unless you don't ever do that behavior.....
I have 1700 jumps, never broken anything
Going tomorrow! No clue why im watching this but here I am haha
How was it
I witnessed someone come down under a failed chute in Italy whist driving on a parallel road to the landing zone. The speed they were travelling was alarming; shocking how fast free fall is. They disappeared behind some buildings from my perspective and despite looking I’ve never found out if they managed to save themselves at the last second; I really hope so! 😢
For those who know and like the actor Lewis Collins - Bodie from The Professionals - he made parachute jumps at the same drop zone as Ronnie O'Brien. One day, he did a jump and had a very hard landing. He got up, picked up his parachute and walked back to the packing shed half a mile away to pack his parachute for another jump and it was only when he was packing his chute that he realized that he'd broken his leg! Lewis was every bit as hard as the characters he played and he never complained about the pain in his leg - even when it was broken!
I was not emotionally ready for this!
Little did the last guy know that with 1 jump, he'd get 13 landings.
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, i thought he was going to be heading back up, at one stage.
1:39 "he doesnt have enough time to correct his 'projectory'." Genius
Like no actually when you turn you lose altitude. Low turns kill people you don’t have time to flare which slows you because you dive towards the ground
Aww man I was hoping for some splat action. 🤪
Yeah that’s definitely off my bucket list nowadays
I love how people sky dive from the clouds, it feels like heaven man.

The only problem I had doing a tandem jump freefall was that I discovered that my stomach does NOT like weightlessness, so I was dry-heaving the whole way down. Kinda took some of the fun out of it, though I was (sort of) still able to enjoy the view. My New Years resolution: Be smarter this year, and take anti-puke meds before my next jump.
Me too. The freefall bit was OK but the floating down once the chute opened was awful. Felt sick all the way down. TBH I was underwhelmed anyway. Bungee jumping was more of a buzz imo.
You know what would be really smart? Only getting out of a plane when it's stationed on the ground. One can enjoy the view from within the plane as well. When did you last see a sailor take to his liferaft just for the fun of it?
Take anti-jump tablets. They work much better.
Sky diving looks like a lot of fun, from the safety of my couch. lol!
keep in mind accidents like this do not occur very often, and if they do they usually don’t result in death.
its kind of like cars
people drive in cars
an accident happens
they usually survive it with minor injuries and very rarely die
It's good to know the pilots on that last video were okay. I rarely saw my pilots wearing a chute when I used to skydive
Trevor Jacob ALWAYS wears a parachute whenever he flies.
I think it's funny that in this event where you're literally plummetting to your ultimate demise, everybody came to an agreement that you will only need ONE reserve parachute.
I brought TWO reserve calculators to my freaking Thermo exams!
At least have air bag on your tummy
The ones that didn’t make the cut were scarier than the top 5!! Eek 😮
item #2 happened to me twice in 1975 when I tried skydiving in college. I was put out in the wrong spot and and was drifting toward some high voltage power lines. Had to turn and go over them and ended over a mile away. An hour walk back with one of those big Army surplus chutes. The other time I was headed right for a big stand of trees, but yanked my left control chord hard and hit the ground sideways and made 2 side flips. But I was ok.
His arm was completely severed from his...SPINE?!
Arm is not connected to the spine but its nerves actually are. I guess what happened is that all of his nerves got destroyed, rendering the arm useless
He has a special skeletal system no one has 😂😂😂
Different people have different bodies
just kidding lol
Music videos
Hollies songs
Esto lo más increíble que mirado de todos los videos, muy profesionales, felicitaciones
In May 1969 just before our Basic Training graduation at Ft. Bragg, NC, the 82nd Airborne Div. did a show for us hoping to get some of us to sign up for airborne. Well, Sgt. Cohen saw how impressed I was and said to me, "Ebell! There's only 3 things that falls from that sky...birdsh*t, feathers and fools!" I never did join lol
I've been skydiving before, goodness - thank God it was smooth, safe and ok!
Did this guy just say “change his PROJECTORY”. 😂😂😂.
Ikr wtf😂😂
Removing Skydiving from my bucket list before it makes me kick the bucket.
Dude getting dragged at the end... my goodness. Def taking skydiving off bucket list.
My brother and I went to Green County Airport in Georgia to see about learning to skydive many many moons ago. The first jump I saw was a woman making her first free fall jump. I watched her with the binoculars. And watched and watched. But there was no deployment of the chute. She had pulled the rip cord and turned it loose before all the pins came out and was desperately trying to grab the cord handle again. She finally deployed her reserve and got a full canopy at tree top level (the canopy was at tree top level not her). She was OK. She probably has nightmares about it some 45 years later. Me...I never jumped. That day spoiled my interest in taking up the sport.
😅
Imagine being that group that can finally say.
"For once we didnt have to jump out of a perfectly good airplane"
A guy I work with has made a couple thousand jumps [sic], and he says that the planes used by jump operators are often so rickety and unsafe that he can't _wait_ to jump out of them.
AWESOME! Where do I get my Skydiving Licence?
Great rescue. Bad pre jump equipment check.
Yeah, I'm never going skydiving.
Lets paragliding/paramotor, its safer 😅🤣😂
sky diving and gone wrong is last two things i wanna hear lol
So happy I watched this after my dive
Thanks for cancelling my sky diving plans. Much appreciated!
