I bet the riggers still yelled at him for having to re-pack his MIRPS. Good on him for getting that MIRPS out on his first jump! Knew dude in my unit was towed on his first jump. Kinda all down hill from there.
The guy in the video had a malfunction on his first jump it seems. By the level of spacing between jumpers you can tell they are only jumping from one door this is done only on the first jump, this man is scarred 💀💀
Bro, my last jump at BAC, i collided with the other jumper on the opposite door during my c-17 exit. Immediately our main parachutes became entangled in the suspenders and I was wrapped in main chute which didn’t allow me to pull my reserve. So we started free falling towards the earth and I’m screaming at him to pull his reserve which he eventually does about 50 ft from the surface and we both land without injury.
I saw that happen my first time as Jump Zone Safety Officer. Neither guy deployed their reserve, and they went in hard. When I got over to them, they were both conscious. They said that the rigging lines were completely wrapped around them and they had no chance to get a reserve deployed cleanly. So they followed their training and locked in the tightest landing position they could. One guy was going backwards, sat down hard and broke 4 vertebrae. The other stayed upright, but as his knees buckled, he broke his nose on the reserve pack. Both survived, as you can tell.
IF ALL ELSE FAILS, I remember back in '69 jump school, the Black Hats showing us the proper sequence on how to " Kiss Your Ass GOODBYE! "👍😎👍 11B4P, 173rd Airborne
I agree, later down the road I had another one in Bulgaria. 670ft combat jump - full kit, 240 in the maw and a ruck at about 70-80lbs. Instead of reaching for the reserve handle I let my ruck and maw get shoved down to avoid breaking my legs worse than they’d of been anyways. I like this comment
@@blackout8213 He doesn't know what he's talking about, the only reason why u wouldn't pull your reserve is if you were completely wrapped up in your canopy, and even then you don't exactly have much to lose...
Thank GOD the jumper got the reserve out and the last minute. Anyone! Anyone! Who thinks that they would have done any different in jump school did not attend US Army jump school. I remember my last day in ground week, they gave a demonstration, a black hat wearing a T10 had the chute deployed and the instructor called a malfunction, the jumper was shaking the risers, kicking at the chute and blowing in the direction of the chute. The instructor said, "you have the rest of your life to get your reserve out". This after they had dropped a streamer and a may west from the big ungawa. This jumper most likely didn't pull the reserve consciously, the jumpers training took over.
I saw many Maye West and one failure to open and was shocked just now fast the reserve opened. He land fine and I talked to him afterwards having run to his location his having jump in stick after me.
Yea, I was civilian parachuting on a cold day my hand literally froze from the cold couldn’t grab my hand deploy so I immediately went for my reserve D-ring which I used both my thumbs to deploy my reserve. When I landed I thought the jump master was gonna be pissed he just walked over and said:”congratulations, you saved your life” never jumped again.
Everybody saying "Thank God!" "Thank the Lord!" "Thank Jesus!" No! Thank whoever it was who first said "Hey! Maybe they should have a backup parachute!"
Black Hat with a megaphone: "Jumper.... with the malfunction... Release.... your reserve..." A half-dozen guys pop their reserve, but the guy with a problem is busy fighting his chute and never heard.
Landed in the Chattahoochee River after a sudden gust of wind at Ft, Benning on my Final Jump and one of the Black hat was hung up in the Power Lines outside of the zone.
I must admit my single greatest accomplishment in Benning Jump school was hiding under a bed during a morning PT run, to hung da hell over to run, until one of my room mates, ran and jumped behind the same bed on top of me, we both got caught, we were laughing so hard the Black hat heard us LOL @ each other, we paid dearly!!! True story 1981 (0) (Ground) (Tower) (Jump Wk).
My mate who was No 4 had a BP when jumping out of the balloon at Weston on the Green.Pulled his reserve and walked away with no major injuries except some skin burbs on his hands
My second jump in airborne school i got my air stolen and fell 80ft snd got dragged across the dz., ended up with a concussion, bruised tailbone and strained neck muscle to the point of tearing.
@Jimmy Kimmel Um, what? Combat jump altitude? Before you keep going, I was a jump master for many years so just stop. You know how many units have jumped at 600' AGL? Not many. This is at 1250' AGL. He had a partial malfunction which resulted in reduced lift. He is supposed to activate his reserve as soon as he notices there's no opening. Even if I gave this guy the benefit of the doubt (and I really don't considering this says Army Airborne School) he at the very least should have realized there was a malfunction during his second PoP. Count the time elapsed yourself from the exit to the deployment of the reserve.
@@dustinmcook2605 You exited at 0:21 and your reserve activated at 0:42. That makes you the fucking idiot guy. Do I need to remind you of prejump? Because it's obvious you didn't remember it during one of your first five jumps. If this actually is you failing to perform your simple PoPs on a jump school jump, I wouldn't be so quick to raise my hand and be proud. 21 seconds from malfunction to deployment. You're very lucky the main was providing any lift at all, because with you(r) reaction time, you'd be dead if it weren't. Have a nice day shitbag.
I agree with all of the above. To Crusader of Thot I’ll say look at a previous response of mine to the exact same comment made, and to the others It’s true, I’ve seen way more t-11 failures than I’d like to of, but at the same time yes, it’s literally one of those just 1 in who the fuck knows chance that it’ll happen to you. I’ve had another one here recently but again it’s just luck of it. That’s coming from me with 31 jumps now out of all sorts of cool aerial vehicles
Cookie Monster bro. Where the fuck was your reserve? What do they stress 12 times in prejump? “If you are falling faster than your fellow jumpers, immediately pull your t11 reserve parachute. “
Some 800mg Motrin and some stern head shakes in his/her direction and they will be fine. Can you stand up? How many fingers am I holding up? Good. Now move your a$$, we got civilians watching.
28.5 years USMC FR MOS 0326 certified MASTER JUMPER. Myself and my Camp Team( primary) of my 22 years active duty pipeline. I have had to do 3 CUTS ( Release Primary Canopy) and deployment of secondary ( emergency ). 2 conducting HAHO And 1HALO. All 3 In country and condition black . It comes with the responsibility. I bet this soldier has a unique appreciation of secondary and respect for the insignia. When that black dot past decent from the first wave of jumpers. You can actually see him double what you have to. Too allow yourself those few seconds 1.5-3.0 seconds to get your secondary but cut away your primary is a MUST YOU HAVE TO NO IF OR AND ABOUT IT. Them pull. But he or she made themselves big and wide to slow the decent. Those 4-11 Mph decreased speed adds up to seconds 2.5 -3.5 seconds for full ribs opening and eating air. They still hit in double digits but not high digits under 45mph. Bet it Hurt too LOL. But you gotta be alive to feel pain .😂😂😂😂😀😅

After you recognize your chute didn't open you have about 15 seconds to overcome the mind numbing terror and pull your reserve.
Has to be less than 15 seconds 😅
@@p_owlow yeah definitely because even if your main does open you are only in the air for like 30 secs
You've got the rest of your life to pull that reserve
15 seconds and your on the ground.
You do not have 15 second s with a cigarette roll malfunction.
"The VA has decided that your injuries are not service related."
Not really…the VA has decided that your injuries were self inflicted for your stupidity in not following your training by deploying earlier.

You can get Combat Related Special Compensation or "CRSC" for being wounded during combat training. That includes jumps. Crazy, but real.
Yep that sounds like the VA.
Exactly
He waited a long time before throwing the reserve.
He probably realized he wasn't supposed to count to twelve thousand & then decided to throw it.
He may have survived but my neck is broken now.
What saved his life was the fact that he was wearing his pt belt:)

At any accident or similar event--if a woman starts screaming this "oh my god" business--knock her out. This panics people.
Knocking some bitch out will also panic a few people, or is that what you meant? Consider other options Bob.
At least it got people's attention with that many parachutes is easy for a guy to just drop and no know untill they do a count.
