  • Every skydive is built from many variables. Sometimes a CYPRES save is created by a freak occurrence with no conscious contribution from any human participant. Sometimes decisions are made at points along the way that affect the outcome.
    In March of 2019 over Spaceland Dallas, Alex Ogden was knocked out following a collision with another jumper shortly after exit on an otherwise pretty straightforward wingsuit jump. Alex would then go into a prolonged and violent flat spin for the entire remaining vertical distance, only regaining consciousness after touching down under his reserve canopy in a Texas field.

    That was tough to watch man. I hope the person that hit you watched it, pursues you and landed with you. Blue skies man, thanks for sharing.

    LOVE the ground rush. Horizon is much calmer and seems longer, then look straight down and everything is coming up fast to gobble you up.

    Thank you cypress. I got to learn more about my own life saving equipment (i have a cypress in my rig) at the perris fresh meet 2023. This video is so fucking scary I dont have proper words. I also do not have proper words for the relief of seeing his aad go off and save him. Holy fuck holy fuck holy fuck. Thank you for the lives youve saved and the work that goes into each and every device. I hope I never NEED mine, but Im very thankful i have it.

    What kind of helmet was Alex wearing? I can't believe he didn't get a single line twist!

    Dumb question for sure but what hit him? And would the spin been that violent if he wasn’t wearing the wing suit?

      Another wingsuiter hit him and knocked him unconscious. This was a serious mid air collision. Luckily, happy ending at the end. Guy lived and recovered.

    I use Your AAD. I never had to use it. I hope i never will. But it's good to know that the best available equipment on the market is watching my ass. Thank You. Thank You so much.
    This is not an add. This are my personal feelings.
    cheers.

    I don't understand why turning so fast he was falling, I thought he would become a helicopter

    This guy who I don’t know personally looked like he was in a fight. Soo much blood went to his face and feet. He had black eyes and a puffy head.

    Вот это его размотало.. Отрицательные перегрузки, чёрная пелена, потеря сознания. Если бы не прибор - так и воткнулся бы... Не приходя в сознание.

    Dude is so dizzy he can't even reach up to grab the toggles. Jesus Christ, he should have cut away as soon as he started to spin out of control. Take your chances on the reserve chute. Woof.

      No what happened. He was unconscious his cypres fired and deployed the reserve.

      ​@@AnomalousCanidI didn't watch the whole video I was ready to throw up 5 seconds in from the spinning. I mad a simple assumption without context. You on the other hand had to take time out of your day to comment on it? Woof
