*WHAT HAPPENED* This skydiver pitched her pilot chute while riding a wingsuit rodeo, but the pilot chute got caught in the wingsuit’s burble and wrapped itself around the jumper’s neck. She unwrapped it but, again, it caught around her neck a second time! She was able to clear the bridle from her neck and the main deployed - albeit with a snappy opening and a few line twists. *WHY DID IT HAPPEN* Large Burble The burble created by the wake of wingsuit is far wider and longer than many people think. This is why wingsuiters use longer bridles and are taught to have a confident and strong pitch when deploying their canopy. In this incident, the rodeo rider did not have a longer bridle and her pilot chute got caught in the wingsuit's large burble. *HOW COULD IT BE PREVENTED* Dismount (also, trust your instincts!) This jumper noted that before going up, she had discussed the dive flow and said she would get off the wingsuiter before deploying her main. She was - correctly - concerned about the burble. However, the wingsuiter told her not to worry about it and that she would be fine. Her instincts and logic were right. Had she stuck with her gut feeling and dismounted the wingsuiter before throwing her pilot chute, this incident would not have occurred. *ADDITIONAL NOTES* Wingsuit Rodeos at Large Wingsuit rodeos seem to have become increasingly common over recent years. As that has occurred, there appears to be a trend towards letting jumpers of relatively low experience participate in them. Fortunately, that was not the case in this video. This was an experienced and skilled skydiver who knew the dynamics of the jump, and - given the potential for what could have been a fatal injury - did an amazing job dealing with the situation. A newer jumper would potentially have not been able to remain as calm and this situation could have ended very differently.
Wingsuiter said "You'll be fine"... famous last words. That's why always say "you'll probably be fine" if situation goes tits up, my response is "I did say probably."
That's why I usually say to rider 'you should go away at 1800m. if no - I'll do a barell roll'. They other rule I got from my own (quite scary) experience - I (anymore) would not go rodeo if rider weights more than me But they got a nice video, so maybe my rules were good only for the old, 'before gopro' times ..
No doubt WS rodeo deployments are sketchy, and generally best avoided. But looks to me like the rider is too far back, almost sitting in the wingsuiters knees, which are bent right up. With the collapsed wing and COG far back there's barely any forward speed which seems to be parts of reason the burble was so bad and why the riders head was in the thick of it.
What a nightmare that would have been had it been just barely strong enough to pull her pin, but not pull the dbag out into the relative wind. Nightmare fuel
your own burble should make you cautious enough.. will never understand people who can't just enjoy the thrill of jumping out of a plane, gotta get even crazier with it
Genuinely laughed at the "inexperienced jumpers" part. That's because only inexperienced jumpers join a ws rodeo. It's freaking dangerous and can go south so fast
This video is the definition of inexperience and asking for it, without knowing you are. This has happened in the past multiple times. Talk to experienced jumpers. You don't know it all. Those who don't learn from the past are bound to repeat it.
I'll be honest, having about 150 jumps under my belt, it sucks to know I won't really get to do anything interesting as an "experienced skydiver" for like 2-5 years from now. No hate. I'm just saying....

There are some freakouts that are entertaining and others that are genuinely terrifying. This is definitely the latter.
I donno. I was laughing pretty hard.
Wingsuiter said "You'll be fine"... famous last words. That's why always say "you'll probably be fine" if situation goes tits up, my response is "I did say probably."
"Don't worry, we do this all the time." Is second only to "Watch this!" On the list of phrases most likely to precede a fatality.
Was that an assassin pilot chute or a suicidal skydiver? Holy moly.
Back to back freakout fridays at SDC xD
Skydive Chicago?
@@bigb3n011 yep
When watched in slow-mo the bridle unwraps itself, count yourself very damn lucky. Incredible footage
She's very lucky she was able to unwrap the bridle twice and she's lucky the Parachute stayed inside the container.
Definitely a case of the burbles
...on a Monday...
And she looks happy !!!
Wow ! Awesome Snappy response , TWICE! ""I KEEL YOU!" nope...... Same guy that says "I know a shortcut,, follow me!"
Wow the old head removed from body trick
That's why I usually say to rider 'you should go away at 1800m. if no - I'll do a barell roll'.
They other rule I got from my own (quite scary) experience - I (anymore) would not go rodeo if rider weights more than me
But they got a nice video, so maybe my rules were good only for the old, 'before gopro' times ..
I thought the #1 rule of wing suit rodeos was 'Get OFF my back BEFORE you pitch!!!'
Dont "back pitch" because turbulence is a .........
Pitch off to the side of that's how you're going to deploy.
Your correct. But ppl like to look cool and shit like this happens 😂
I have a feeling this could have gone _much_ worse. Wow.
I definitely understand larger wingsuit burbles because I wingsuit, but at not point in all of that did that PC look like it was cocked.
Wondered the same... Looks like half cocked, but i guess only the person in question knows that.
It was cocked. It deployed after getting out of the burble
It took me a minute to figure out that the parachute we saw at the ends was her main
Me too. Fucking terribile
And MY knickname is "Mr. Burble!"
I thought I was watching a scene from Final Destination 7
Pitching off the back isn’t fun anyways, unless you like whiplash.
Strange that the Pilot chute fly against the Wind forwards
Very
Not strange at all. It's already explained in the description, the pilot got caught in the burble.
Thanks, maybe a good idea that i read that 👍
Whatever happened to S-E-P-A-R-A-T-I-O-N ??
Ride of her life
Damn, that’s scary.
Wow that was crazy.
Burble be crazy
Just me or is that pilot chute not cocked?
I guess we can call this a pilot chute rodeo..
That coulda been fun ☠️

Super sketchy
Weak pitch... seems like the worst situation for a weak pitch
I don't think it was smart to pull while still mounted on the wingsuiter due to the vortex drag created in his stream.
oh my gees! 🙈
w o w ! that was scary
Holy shit! Yikes
Doesn't help that the WS pilot was closing up during her deployment
explain? Closing wings reduces the WS burble as far as I know.
@@sergeig685 Doesn't reduce burble just changes the burbles position relative to you
That's scary. Pitching in the turbulent eddie-stream (burble) is a very bad idea.
maybe they would have been better off had they swapped bridals for this jump
Sheeeesh
🥶😱OMG
My god😳😳😳😳
Everyone trying to be a stuntman. 🤦🏾♂️
Let’s take a already risky activity & make it riskier 😒👎🏾

Maybe you should find a new hobby if you don't find it interesting
@@ryandsucks maybe you should mind your own business.

Literally posted a public comment then said mind your own fing business 🤣🤣
