- Skydiver Daniel Herndon was performing a demonstration flight over Taft Stadium in Oklahoma City when he lost his main parachute. He managed to finish his descent with the reserve parachute and successfully landed on the stadium field, along with the ball to be used in a soccer match between Chivas and Oklahoma City Energy FC. Herndon’s friend, Jenifer Miller, was able to catch the moment of landing.

God bless the guy who invented the reserve parachute
Anyone would have thought to have something like that
It was me
Welp yes
I say lets have three chutes...…….
Amen!
I like how he says, "No no no no no." And then the universe agrees with him, so he lives.
+Machimina Aren't you just the glass half full.
+Brian Breed it was God, not the universe
+Marcelo Navarro harry potter exist because there is a book saying so
+Please dont hack me cuz Im not a rapper 😂 I'm in tears, of all the arguments going against the existence of God that is by far the worst
+Gmmarktech 234 to be fair, there is no actual proof of God other than stories people could have easily made up. With that said, there is no way to disprove a god. I am personally am atheist, but you can believe in what you wish.
He didn't "lose" anything. He had line twists he decided he could not remedy so he carried out the drills every skydiver is taught, cut away the main, and deployed his reserve and landed safely.
“LOST” his parachute ?? .. Really ? I’m pretty sure he dumped it due to line twist. He didn’t even “lose” the reserve handle.
Randy Porter I think they mean he lost sight of his main, which would suck ass in an urban area like that
I think if he actually lost the parachute, we wouldn't see this video, on account of everything, including the camera, being smeared across a pavement
Clay B Yeah, good point. Just a bad choice of wording I guess.
He should’ve rode it in!!
the line twists didn't look very bad... not spinning too much... and pulled high enough to kick out of them... i would have tried to save it. am i wrong?
*BREAKING NEWS: A blue and green parachute fell out of the sky landing on the freeway today causing a major accident*
EmeraldEyeProductions I know right. Parachute man lives, family of 5 on fire.
Seriously now?
EmeraldEyeProductions lol

I went skydiving once. I left my parachute on the plane cause I was drunk. This is why I have a flat ass.
That was a good one, Hank.
***** It's not a joke, Steven.
You're not the real hank
Hank Hill I am the realest and you know it. You damn imposter.
Omg
the older I get, the less of a good idea skydiving looks
So true😂🤣
That's why you have to start early! ;p
If it's not for you it's not for you.
Do a tandem jump. I did a tandem jump aged 45. It's scary but fun!
Do you swim, ride a motorbike, run long distance, drive...? There are plenty of things in this world as dangerous as skydiving. None quite as fun though.
He didn't lose his parachute, he opened his main and had some line twists so he cut his main parachute away (you can see him pull the red handle on the right which cuts away his main chute, then there is a silver handle he pulled on his left that you can't see in the video that deployed his white reserve chute. For those of you who don't skydive, there are 2 parachutes: you have your main chute, and then a reserve just in case things get weird :) Honestly, he panicked (like everyone does), and maybe could have cleared the twists by pulling the risers apart and kicking his legs a bit harder, but when your parachute spins like that you're losing altitude fast; he got down safe and that means he did the right thing! I love skydiving, it is my absolute favorite past time, and his line twist deployment is actually fairly common, especially if you pull your reserve while not very stable in the air.
he is clearly clickbaiting everyone with this routine cutaway. Starved for attention???
He still lost it tho
Hey at least he live and let us say u salty writing a damn book about what happend
Jessica Breeding You are on the right track ,but l am sure it's water off a ducks back from the comments being made . 1962-1977 l was in 16 Para Bgde. and tried skydiving just to see what it was like , in '64 .Military jumps were always an "Uplifting experience" and my sense of humour prevailed ! Whilst serving a 1 year tour in Bahrein in '66 ,the chance to do a 10 day free-fall course arose . No pun intended ! So off we went to Aden , which was a Civil War Zone ! Our instructor was a very experienced Worldwide skydiver and all was going well ,until l pulled my first reserve on my 13th jump .A grain of sand had jammed the ripcord ( tolerence free housing) , and so began a spate of white 'chutes being deployed. With 2 reserves to my credit l gained unwanted notoriety , but it did not end there. Back in England by 1967 another chance to redeem myself had me doing a continuation course , at APA Centre ,Netheravon . Captive ripcords were being used ,causing me to become unstable as l struggled to get a clean pull .Along came my 3rd reserve , and being such a expert a good landing ensued 😁. After 49 jumps l quit but had my first ever military reserve pull during a Low Level night jump from a Andover supply aircraft over Salisbury Plain . 16 twists and a reserve that did not open ,a weapons container strapped to my leg , the PX chute unwound seconds before landing . Walking away from that and seeing all my grimfaced comrades was so enjoyable . Wishing you safe and happy landings ,Jessica .
Brian Lane- Who are you to say that? He was doing a demo jump and demo jumps like that usually go from 5000 ft. He delayed before opening his main, so there was already a good 2000ft loss...then time for canopy opening and trying to kick out of twists... another 1500 ft loss... he probably hit his hard deck and chopped. No one can sit back and say he did the wrong thing. He did what was right for him in that situation and lived to tell the tale, so step off your high horse. No one should be critical of another skydiver chopping because it is their decision and they are using their emergency procedures for what they feel is an emergency.
real men don't need parachutes
I agree
Aim for the bushes.
Real men doesnt need a parachute for a noble death
@spllitz you’re Chanel is a gold mine of old vids
"real men don't need parachutes" says the guy who never jumped out of a plane.
That's why you should always pack a spare... Pair of underwear~
ya
Just bring a back up umbrella
+Raul Gonzalez Backup ☔? Just like the guy in Preacher?
+LLMBC or like mary poppins
Lol indeed
He didn't 'lose it' he got rid of it before opening his reserve. And nicely done. The reserve just don't fly as well as the main!
in this case it flew quite a lot better
@@yarpos LOL
This is clickbait, he didn’t lose his parachute, he cutaway his main.
thank you.... Airborne!!
he still lost his main parachute
He lost it.. As I found it and sold it on E bay...Not my color....
True but he had a problem with his parachute and had to lose it so...
@@thecrap-crap2414 its because the title was definitely writen by someone not in the skydiving scene. The correct term is: cutting away the main chute.
This is why jumping out of a perfectly good airplane is a bad idea.
LMAO
This was in a movie
+Terrence Smith fast n ferious 7
Missing balls?
there's no such thing as perfectly good airplane
I don't know what's worse. The fact that he almost died or the awkward situation created when he landed in a stadium full of people.
+Jack in Black okay well I didn't know that. No need to be rude.
its ok buddy, you didn't know
+Jack in Black calm down there jackhat.
+Phillip Velednitskiy Well, if you can't see the damn smoke in the middle of the field when he lands, then you get an answer like that.
+Glenn Karmun I have never gone skydiving before and smoke can mean a lot of different things. I was trying to make a joke and rude, sarcastic remarks are uncalled for. There is no need in putting others down the way that guy did.

@@bmac4039 LMAO
I bet they're like "FFS not ANOTHER parachutist. Happens all the time during these games!".
This guy could have caught Bin Laden by himself.
it's football
Football
He doesn't lose his parachute. He performs a cutaway that was perfect. I hope he found his main again.
He didn't lost his chute. It's called a cutaway.
There are several ways the main chute may deploy incorrectly. Divers trained for this.
If the main chute doesn't respond to user inputs to correct the issue (can can see the diver trying to untie the chute for 5 seconds), you detach from the main chute, get stable, and deploy the secondary chute.
This is a normal part of skydiving. It happens to everyone eventually.
I remember reading that if you havent yet cutaway, then you will have one soon haha
Rosie Cheeks
if they find it and it's still airworthy yes he will use it again.
Have you guys ever had a cutaway?
When did he cut away his main parachute? I don't know
what if the 2nd chute jam?
damn talk about cool under pressure
Yeah... I go "ahhh... ahh.. ahhh ... ahh..." as well because I'm cool under pressure.
cuhleef good stuff
One for the money!!!!! Lol
You guys should look up "Friday freakout" lots of malfunction videos that are much worse than this.
That's because you have to be mentally prepared to cut away "if" a malfunction occurs. He knew what he had to do, and I'm betting he has a few hundred jumps under his belt and all the training beforehand pays off.
Bro almost had a mental collapse
So I take it that you did not land in the water?
Rj the great He almost kicked da bucket.

agreed
Fellow Armenian 💪🏻👍🏻🇦🇲
+Swagger Do He handled it correctly. With a canopy that is spinning that hard, there's no way you're going to recover in time to land your main. (I'm a skydiver, and I know the jumper in this video.)
+Chaotic Charge Wars are you educated
+royquitter if you had like a walmart plastic bag and your parachute broke then could you use the plastic bag as a parachute?
After the freefall he was flat and stable when he deployed his canopy. When he looked up he had about three line twists. This will prevent the steering lines from working and may cause it to not fly straight. Normally you can just kick around to clear the line twists and continue on but in this case while he was kicking the canopy went into a spin. The rate of decent greatly increases, the centrifugal force makes you appear to weigh a lot more making the kick out more difficult. At this point he made the decision to cut away his main canopy and deploy his reserve canopy. One handle cuts away and another deploys the reserve. At 1:34 you can see the red cut away handle with yellow cables and the silver reserve deployment handle. Stash the handles and continue to the landing site. Normally the skydiver might follow the $1000+ canopy to the ground if at his normal drop zone where he would know where are all the obstacles like power lines are located but he is flying a demo jump in an area filled with unknown hazards so the original target is the best option. It is unknown if the original canopy was returned to him. Most of the time when people see the falling detached canopy they swear they see a person flailing around in it. Fortunately, this usually leads to better recovery.
“You okay?”
*Should I tell him I almost just died..?*
Nah
My father has been skydiving longer than I've been alive and all of his children have been up with him. He's a master rigger that also worked to educate my brother who followed him as a master rigger himself. After watching this video and understanding how he must have felt, I can only imagine how many lives my father has saved by being certified to pack the reserve chutes and how many my brother may save by doing the same.
Goddamn that video was uncomfortable to watch.
He might have saved my life if he was doing it in the 90s 😁
Isn’t the whole point of skydiving to get an adrenaline rush? No greater rush than needing to deploy a secondary measure, outside of a rush so great you splatter everywhere in the end.

This skydiver is a reel pro. He had a massive line twist and hade to deploy his reserve. Only a pro skydiver could land a reserve parachute into a soccer field. I liked it. I am still a student skydiver and loving it. I have videos of my jumps.
I came to watch a parachute detach itself. Then ad came up: Why flies rub their legs to each other. I'm probably the first person who didn't skip youtube ad.
If the ads were all like that yt would make more money.

Parachute hack?
(30 PEOPLE DIED)
Bro, if my main and emergency chute wouldn't work, i would definiletly ask for a refund.
Better ask for it quick.
Guys. The first parachute is a performance parachute for turning and having fun. It will sometimes tangle up from very specific wind patterns through the equipment or wear from use. The reserve is a full parachute that doesn’t do anything exciting and will open 100% of the time unless the equipment is damaged. When packed by the special professionals, the equipment is brand new and/or completely undamaged. When the main chute has a problem, which happens to most all experienced jumpers at least once in their career before they stop, you cut it away and use the boring one lol
I was so terrified of heights but then I went skydiving, it's really not that bad. I actually really enjoyed it and I'm planning to go again. If anyone is thinking about going I'd say to just do it, you feel sooo accomplished after.
he didn't "lose" his parachute. He intentionally detached it, because it got tangled and was rotating. Then he opened the spare.
what if the spare chute also had an issue? what then, eh?
glovefet the spare is professionally packed by people that were certified by faa and it also has a spring that will force it open
I'm working on getting my Skydiving license right now (AFP level 5). As soon as you pull your first parachute, you ask yourself "Is it there? Is it square? Is it steerable?" His first parachute had a line twist. I get those all the time, you just have to kick out of it (as though you're in a swing set) and the lines automatically untwist. If you can't untwist within 2 seconds you should immediately cut away that parachute and pull your reserve (which he did). Skydiving is dangerous, but it's also a lot of fun!
Brilliant recovery! Split second decision and made the right choice! Good landing too. Glad to see you safe pal!
I bet the first chute lands on car and causes an accident.
xD i wanna see that
And 5 die
1:15 to about 1:25 is all you need to see. Next.
THANK YOU

Thanks Mr. Rodgers!
Hi, Neighbor! Did you mean 1:15 to 1:35 ? Coz that would make more sense
Thanks!
Whenever I lose my 'chute, I always ask myself "Where was the last place I saw it?"
🤣🤣🤣
On ebay after it fell in someones yard.
Luckily he had like a back up parachute.
yeah like so lucky, you would think they would design it with two for skydives wouldnt you? so lucky
.."...like a back up parachute"...yeah...pretty much like a parachute...what are the odds?
Its kinda like a parachute but its not really. Its a backup parachute
All skydiving containers/bags have a 2 parachutes 1 main canopy and a reserve canopy that is packed by a faa certified person
what if the second one fucked up
This video would not be up....
Then this video would be on liveleak...
+Nik Cruz bars
the second one is packed 'professionally' every 6 months or something, whereas the main one is packed every time by the person and mistakes happen.
Most parachutes includes a device that register the altitude and speed that you are falling, if the speed to high and the altitude too low, then a 3rd parachute will be deployed automatic.
"No no no! No no no!" Yep, that pretty much summed up what I was thinking.
Unfortunately no arguing with gravity.
Imagine just watching a game of football then all of a sudden some guy parachutes into the pitch
“Hey, did I make it on time?”
This looks to me like a planned "demo" (or demonstration) jump. These are planned, for the entertainment of spectators. The jump itself, over a crowded urban area is approved by Air Traffic Control and the jumpers are qualified to make these demanding jumps. There would have been a ground crew as well and they would have dispatched someone to find and recover the lost main canopy. I hope they found it and in good condition, because the canopy alone would have cost over $2000.
It's a "pitch" in soccer. Football is played on a field.
That must have been the scariest moment of that guys life
Lol that's routine linetwist cutaway🤣 Not that scary
Not likely. Scariest moment of his life is when he sees his main in the road after having gotten driven over about 20 times.
Cool under pressure.
Main to reserve like a pro.
Well done.
People are disliking because this guy had a reserved and didn't die... Wow that's sad
I will only skidive with a proffesional.

@@ankleplayyzplayyz3847
Mmmm. No. Maybe
Manuela Mejia must attmet nice way to go to a soccer game or a nba game out the helicopter right into the arena.

I sure didn't see a flat earth.....
lol that's a fish eye lens
+George Lopez ah that would explain the horizon bending.
+Uncle Lou look at the airplane pole, it's bent.
you guys are all dumb. its the go pro. the way that go pros record give it that round effect.
1) The Earth is round
2) If the curvature you saw in the video was the same curvature of the Earth, the entire planet would be roughly the size of Texas. What you saw was the "fish-eye" effect from camera lenses. If you saw that with your bare eyes, it would appear completely flat. The Earth's curvature is way too gradual to see with your eyes alone at that low of an altitude.
I am an AFF student on the way to A license, this is even more motivating to me.

Golden rule our instructor gave us was learn to pack your own chute and always check the pack
Always
This is why you don't trust Brian Griffin to pack your parachute.
The white parachute was like an angel.
He went to his reserve. Jumped 23 years and had to go to my reserve 5 times. He had to make a choice as it's harder to get out of line twists with a ram-air canopy than a round. We weren't on the jump and this fella had to make a decision based upon altitude and where he'd land.
Richard Baker I am a novice skydiver, my question is..under you point of view, you dont think that line twist was about to be fixed? I have seen the video many times and I think so..thanks in advance
"Loses" his chute? No.
Has a malfunction and deploys his reserve? Yes.
Thank God this man is alright! Good job of remaining calm.
I like how the other guy "flew" away from him like "Welp, see you in hell."
😂😂😂
In freefall, that's called tracking and it's done on every jump to give the jumpers safe separation for opening.
That's standard practice for every jump. And yes we will all be partying in hell
Thank god the guy had an extra, my Gosh people you guys wanna watch this guy die?
Yeah?
+Umbreon Guy Lol I'm sure your going or trolling, but people forget the person has a wife, a child, a mom, a dad, a cousin, family and friends that love the person just like us. I know I'm thinking into to this way to much, its the interwebs, but life is precious people...
Every jumper has a backup parachute. That is standard...
+Ferenc Kocsis yeah but some can be ripped or something
+Mike you really don't need to be an ass
He RELEASED it and went to his secondary shoot after the first became tangled.
Omg fuck your profile photo
Man you profile photo is weird. I thought it was a piece of hair and i spend 5 mins trying to get it off my phone it was the longest 5 minutes in my life
It wasnt tangled. The wind was so strong it snapped it
Every single time I see your profile picture...I waste 30 minutes trying to scratch an eyelash off my screen
im happy that he survived that. but lets appreciate that well symmetrical planned area of streets and greens.
I went tandem with this guy, daniel, several times at airtight. They are very focused on safety and proper training. This clearly reflects that. Now he's living it to the fullest jumping and diving in Hawaii. So jealous Daniel.....

I’d like a back up for my back up for my back up
Thank goodness he was trained well for emergency situations.
Same thing happened to me on my one and only parachute jump. We were told to get the tangles out using scissor kicks. I didn’t panic, though I did think about jettisoning the main chute and using the reserve, but I decided I had time to work out the tangles. It worked a treat, no problem at all. I ended up on the cross on the ground we were supposed to land on so even had time to guide it too. It was a two thousand foot jump with a static line. The tangle was caused by me not jumping from the plane properly,( I spun round before and during the parachute opening). Happy days😳.

+Adin Freese The second word is Loses, not loose.
+Adin Freese No, that says "loses"
little piece of information.. he didn't "lose his parachute mid flight" he ditched his main because he couldn't get the suspension lines to untwist then pulled his reserve. a lot of veteran skydivers will tell you they've had to rely on their reserve at least once in their life.
Don't see what everyone is talking about, it went great and he acted perfectly. Showing that even if shit happens you can still make a great entrance at a football-arena!

Rest in Peace, Daniel :(
He didnt lose his parachute, it failed to open properly and he did the right thing by cutting it loose before opening the reserve.
this proves the earth isn't flat look at dem curves
the earth is round. however that's the camera lens distorting it. if earth was that round you could fly around it like 50 times per day.
"No no no, no no no, no no no, no no nooo"
That scared the crap out of me when he lost his parachute. I'm glad he got a spare
A question to anyone who has had to ditch the parachute after its released.... Do you feel THAT drop?
I heard you don't feel the drop from plane but if you release parachute and now you're kinda spinning in air and see ur lines entangled... You release that one and the backup parachute opens... But when you're cut from the first one do you feel that drop?
