I once had an unexpected main chute deployment when I exited the plane. Moving around before jump t let another guy out early had (unbeknownst to me) knocked the bottom pin loose, and my pilot chute snuck out, taking the bag with it. I ended up with a normally deployed main at 10,500 feet and a long ride down, hunched forward with the reserve container pushing my head down. I could have pulled the main ripcord (this was a 1970s vintage Paracommander pig rig), but didn't want to monkey with it.
Blimey, that plane must have been going at some rate. Even though I knew it was coming, the speed of his departure took me by surprise. I guess if you're going to do this, from the ramp of a tailgate aircraft is the best way to keep you and everyone else on board from getting dead. At least the canopy and the jumper are being extracted into clear air, and not into the tail of the aircraft!
As a former C-130 navigator, my job was to direct the airdrop mission, navigate to the dz, call the "greenlight" when it was clear to jump or drop the groceries out the back. Usually during airdrop missions, I was in the nav seat on the flight deck/cockpit. However on some airdrop missions when I was not the duty nav, I went to the back of the a/c to watch the action in the back. With the door up and the ramp down, wearing a safety harness, I have stood in the same location on a C-130 ramp as this trooper. One time I was taking pictures of the Kona Coast for a bunch of Aeromedical Evac Nurses we flew to the big Island. Back then, they would hand me their "110 instamatic" cameras and I would take a snap shot out of the aircraft, we would probably doing 175 knots on a sight seeing tour around the island of Hawaii. Amazingly, the wind across the ramp is relatively light, maybe a slight buffet, but not any strong gusts, the aircraft fuselage and the ramp deflect the airstream. The aircraft, I don't care if it was a C-5,C-17 or a C-130 was probably doing approximately 120 to 130 knots TAS. On static line drops, we would drop troopers at 120 knots and a minimum of 800 ft. agl. From my professional opinion, being that as a rated U.S. Air Force Officer, Aviator and C-130 crew hog and I was paid to run airdrop missions, this was no accident. It appears the aircraft is flying at relatively low speed and low altitude as evidenced by the ramp down and door up. The trooper appears to be getting a visual on the dz, forward and down to get a visual on the dz, check wind conditions and make sure his buddies and girlfriend are standing by to catch the stunt. It appears the a/c crewmember, probably a loadmaster is purpusely positioning himself between the cameraman and the trooper to occlude the camera view of the trooper purposely deploying his chute, either through pulling a d-ring or throwing an extraction chute. Notice that the trooper goes as the aircraft is starting a left bank turn; this is probably so the crew can catch the decent of the trooper on their cell phones. Fly to the dz, start an 180 degree turn(like shooting mid-field overhead approach), trooper jumps, cockpit crew gets to see almost the whole decent as they complete the turn. I went through C-130 training in the early 1980s at Little Rock AFB, also known as "Herky University". Anybody and everybody who flew C-130s went through Little Rock AFB in Jacksonville, Arkansas. A long time instructor loadmaster on his last mission, some how, fell out the back of the a C-130 on a student training flight. Luckily, he happened to be wearing a parachute. How fortunate since most the time he and the other instructors wore only a harness and safety lanyard. It was pretty much a pre arranged deal by the entire crew, where they let this salty old load fulfill his dream of jumping out the ramp of a C-130. The story was, it was an accident, but that was just enough of a story the brass needed to overlook the preplanned retirement festivities. Yeah, in the present case, I'm sure they told the brass this was an accident too.
You literally spent the time to write a 4 paragraph comment on a CZcams! Video that probably no one is going to care about, and your professional opinion means nothing on the internet
Just came here to say I'm sitting at a restaurant in Hungary with this man right now as the table argues about the best way to celebrate Thanksgiving. He's alive and well
I'm a Navy EOD, and when I was going through jump school, I toll'd a very minor fuck up. AND HEARD ABOUT IT FOREVER. I can't imagine how much shit was dished at this guy.
A long long time ago, I can still remember how that grammar used to make me smile. And, I knew if I had my chance that I could make those people dance, and...maybe they'd know grammar for a while. But, February made me shiver with every paper I'd deliver Bad grammar on the doorstep - I couldn't take one more step. I can't remember if I cried when I read about capitalization tried. Something touched me deep inside the day the grammar died.
Yeah he's going to do something like that on purpose when his static line is still hooked up to his main, which means his main deployed as well. Meaning he's lucky he lived through this.
Back in the late 70's there was a similar but much, Much worse accidental deployment. Airborne trooper was going out the starboard door when the "No Jump" light turned red and someone grabbed him (for his supposed safety.) Unfortunately, the grab also caught the reserve parachute handle which stuck out to the right side. The reserve deployed inside the aircraft, which 1) bent the door frame 2) bent the supports which held the wire all the static lines hooked to, and 3) killed the parachutist.
Def real. His hand motions must have caught and loosen the rip cord. The reserve chute has a spring loaded pilot chute that helps it open quickly. Former rigger.
he wasn't falling down when his parachute opened up so he would just have a lot of forward velocity to kill. yes he would've slowed down enough to land safely.
Both parachutes probably deployed since the main chute was connected via static line to the cable in the aircraft. I'd guess it was the jump master verifying the drop zone visually before the C-130 dropped the (training) troops. Probably a long walk to the DZ for the jump master. lol
He's not dead people. Looks as if he is the jump master looking for the dz when his reserve chute deployed. Not to mention he still had his primary cute. It was probably a very uncomfortable ride down.
Accidental deployments do happen, He's using a chest mounted reserve which tend to be larger parachutes, he most likely survived. Could have a minor concussion or some whiplash but there is very little possibility he actually died. Source: Been in the sport of skydiving for 13 years
I've seen this in a movie somewhere but I can't remember which one! It has a proffessional business guy that doesn't want to jump out (but he has to, I think the plane's going down or something), and the (army?) guy in charge is telling him which cord to pull, but he pulls it then and flies off the plane like this video.....
For the non-accident believers let me help you understand. It was a Mistake, meaning he was suppose to do differently. Camera was there to show how awesome it was going to be. Damn peanut brains.
Damn THAT SUCKS! He's lucky he was right next to the open cargo door though. If he'd been yanked out the side door he probably would have been spaghettified.
At least put the info about it in the description. An army paratrooper from 5th SFG accidentally deploys his reserve parachute inside the plane. The solider sustained no serious injuries, but landed 30 miles from the intended drop zone.
Ben Jack how did that happen if he was a trooper? In my experience being lined up waiting to jump the chute would just depleted inside the aircraft, unless he was doing something similar to this vid and that’s not in a normal troopers pay grade, where they doing HAHO or the less done HALO. Just trying to picture the scenario in my head.
Even if they shouted no one would hear it, the jack of the plane is open, the voice of air and engine is REALLY loud. And they properly took few seconds to realize WTF happened.
It looks like he didn't hit the tail or the exit as far as I can see. So he'll probably just have some bruise marks where his straps were from the initial jolt out of the aircraft, and his pride may be a little bit hurt.
It was definitely the reserve deploying not his main. He didn't protect his ripcord grip while checking for hazards for a tailgate jump; Jumpmaster error. He'll go back to Jumpmaster Referesher Training.
BS! You can clearly see the parachute coming from behind him on the floor. Last time I checked chutes open from the top of the pack not tbe bottom. Correct me if I'm wrong cause its been a while since I messed with a chute
Dude, what exactly do you think they CAN do? There's nothing than going "oh shit" over the comm and letting the DZSO know "hey, we just had some asshat go out the bird 30 miles prior to the dropzone due to a reserve activation on the ramp"
i can think of atleast 5 legitimate reasons the military or an individual would be recording this, regardless of the fact that some1 is about to get yanked out the back of an airplane
According to MailOnline
"He managed to control the parachute in the air and landed safety about 50km from the intended drop zone."
"I can see my house from heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
When the Jumpmaster says, "Follow Me", I don't think we have to do it in EXACTLY the manner he does it.
The load master was like “oh shit! He’s gone!”
He went out with a lot of force I hope he's ok

+Zayyn Malik that the parachute deployment wasn't an accident
probably the longest comment ive ever seen
Jadin Canadian your inexperienced youtube user
You literally spent the time to write a 4 paragraph comment on a CZcams! Video that probably no one is going to care about, and your professional opinion means nothing on the internet
Any chance you could explain in more detail?
yeah, I heard so. he landed safe about 50 kilometers away from the planned landing zone
"Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die"
He ain't gonna jump no more!
And the VA will be like "Not service connected"
I'm sure the film of a guy just crouching there was going to be extremely worth it but that damn parachute stole the show
Just came here to say I'm sitting at a restaurant in Hungary with this man right now as the table argues about the best way to celebrate Thanksgiving. He's alive and well
I'm a Navy EOD, and when I was going through jump school, I toll'd a very minor fuck up. AND HEARD ABOUT IT FOREVER.
I can't imagine how much shit was dished at this guy.
It had that feel about it, right. I know the military do love their pranks... Still funny
A long long time ago, I can still remember how that grammar used to make me smile. And, I knew if I had my chance that I could make those people dance, and...maybe they'd know grammar for a while. But, February made me shiver with every paper I'd deliver

Guy standing up was like. Whoa.... Guess that works too.
Yeah he's going to do something like that on purpose when his static line is still hooked up to his main, which means his main deployed as well. Meaning he's lucky he lived through this.
That's gotta be the worlds worst whiplash
lol the guy behind him takes a few steps back probably thinking "did he mean to do that? should i go?"

Imagine your unit having to pick you up in lmtvs at a local bar hammered drunk carrying equipment around. Don't think they'd argue your decisions
"Good news is my reserve works!"
His squad mates didn't even look concerned they were just like "Well that's the third one we lost this week sir"
Def real. His hand motions must have caught and loosen the rip cord. The reserve chute has a spring loaded pilot chute that helps it open quickly. Former rigger.
You can see all the force on his body when it opens up. Wow.
I dont jump out of ordinary planes, I only make jumps out of the MILLINIAN FALCON.
he wasn't falling down when his parachute opened up so he would just have a lot of forward velocity to kill. yes he would've slowed down enough to land safely.
One hell of a ride that was.
We got an extreme badass over here! Please, give him the whole internet, no freedom of speech! NO SIR!
The next morning? You get it immediately.
Both parachutes probably deployed since the main chute was connected via static line to the cable in the aircraft. I'd guess it was the jump master verifying the drop zone visually before the C-130 dropped the (training) troops. Probably a long walk to the DZ for the jump master. lol
True, but it happens more often because its bigger than most armies
His reserve opened. He also had a static line that opened his main. If the static line didn't kill him the tangled chutes can.
Good thing he had his camera
that guy :" I must go, my people need me."
He's not dead people. Looks as if he is the jump master looking for the dz when his reserve chute deployed. Not to mention he still had his primary cute. It was probably a very uncomfortable ride down.
The "wasted" time is cool to excite the watcher.
This is a jumpmaster with 5th SFG. He landed about 30 miles from the drop zone but is otherwise doing okay.
He’s with me at 3rd SFG now
Accidental deployments do happen, He's using a chest mounted reserve which tend to be larger parachutes, he most likely survived. Could have a minor concussion or some whiplash but there is very little possibility he actually died.

All I know if there's a unintentional Reserve deployment, the jumper should follow out the door. This jumper didn't have any choice I don't think.
I was a paratrooper back in the 90s and have no idea how this happened unless the reserve was packed loosely.
News reports said he survived, he just had a 30 mile walk to the DZ.
"Hey guys where did joe go? He was here like 5 seconds ago?"
Thumbs up, lets do this... LEROOOOY JENKINS!!!
I bet that guy that was next to jump said "Screw you guys, i'm going home!"
For the non-accident believers let me help you understand. It was a Mistake, meaning he was suppose to do differently. Camera was there to show how awesome it was going to be. Damn peanut brains.
When you tell your squad to wait but that one guy insta jumps
I'm sure the commander loved that
Here is how Parachute School happens: Week 1-Separate the boys from the men, Week 2-Separate the. men from the fools, Week 3-The fools jump.
Damn THAT SUCKS! He's lucky he was right next to the open cargo door though. If he'd been yanked out the side door he probably would have been spaghettified.
I love how the camera is just recording waiting for it to happen. Come on! Who records that and not know what's about to happen?!
At least put the info about it in the description.

Ben Jack how did that happen if he was a trooper?

Just trying to picture the scenario in my head.
That's why I'm never going skydiving!
The entire time he is returning to the surface, i have to think he was laughing his ass off :D
Now you see him, now you don't
Even if they shouted no one would hear it, the jack of the plane is open, the voice of air and engine is REALLY loud. And they properly took few seconds to realize WTF happened.
Title should read "How Bosses Leave Planes".
The parachute already looked deployed , looks like it was caught on something and he was trying to get it unhooked
meanwhile up high some birds minding there own business.....
bird A "wtf"
bird B "dumbass"
bird C "dang he flew like frikkin laser beam"
Oh God. I didn't even think about that!
It looks like he didn't hit the tail or the exit as far as I can see. So he'll probably just have some bruise marks where his straps were from the initial jolt out of the aircraft, and his pride may be a little bit hurt.
He realises it a half second before it happens
Heard of such a thing..Never seen one before now. That must have been a Long walk back.
That hit him like a sack of potatoes
LMAO - He got snatched
Plane $ 2 million dollars, flying gear $800 , pulling the reserve shoot while inside the plane, priceless.
When the shoot opens the guy in front is like omg the the guy is like oh god and goes flying off
whyyyyyy is this not the most upvoted comment? Well done sir
I like you. You've got the moxy.
Lol that guy next to him was like wtf where you go
He felled out of the plain because tha parachute opened haha
One red face warrior when he hoboed his way back to base!
he maneged to land safeli. you don't die if you fall with an open parashut. thats the purpose of a parashut, to prevent you from dieing.
Maybe the guy looking at him was wearing a helmet cam, on some ops we do.
Well that escalated quickly...
It was definitely the reserve deploying not his main. He didn't protect his ripcord grip while checking for hazards for a tailgate jump; Jumpmaster error. He'll go back to Jumpmaster Referesher Training.
reminded me of transformers and the top gear middle east special
Good thing he had a parachute.
BS! You can clearly see the parachute coming from behind him on the floor. Last time I checked chutes open from the top of the pack not tbe bottom. Correct me if I'm wrong cause its been a while since I messed with a chute
hopefully his neck was ok.
Cant argue that.
"I needed to get save my lucky hat!"
when your mom call you 50times but you never answer it.
Thank you for the 30seconds
Parachute "hmmm I seam to be allergic to this plane *SNEEZ*. Guy wearing parachute "OH SHIT". bystander 1&2 "WHAT THE FUCK!!!!"
Yea, because there is totally a benefit to breaking paradrop rules and whiplash.
I MUST GO, MY PEOPLE NEED ME!
If your having parachute problems I feel bad for you son I got 99 problems but a chute ain't one hit me(flies off)
Dude, what exactly do you think they CAN do? There's nothing than going "oh shit" over the comm and letting the DZSO know "hey, we just had some asshat go out the bird 30 miles prior to the dropzone due to a reserve activation on the ramp"
WOW , FIRST TIME I EVER SAW THAT.
Not on purpose. This could be the end of his Jumpmaster career. He wouldn't risk that.
Damn this is our military?!? no wonder we can't defeat Al Queda!!!
i can think of atleast 5 legitimate reasons the military or an individual would be recording this, regardless of the fact that some1 is about to get yanked out the back of an airplane
time to face gravity!
Hello my baby hello my darlin, hello my ragtime gall.
well atleast he had a parachute...
besides the fact that he accidentally deployed a parachute....he didnt just jump out lol.
