Skydiver "Ejected" From Plane
What goes up, must come down! This skydiver gets ejected, for lack of a better word, from a YAK-52 trainer aircraft over Sosnovy Bor Aero Club in Russia. In addition to the mad video editing skills and music, the sub-500 foot static line exit at 2:11 is pretty epic too. Only in Russia. What’s the... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Skydiver Hits Truck, Loses Arm (G...
In the words of Tommy Ferguson, “Awww, crap! That sucks.” I’m not sure WTF this truck/trailer was doing parked on the landing area, but target fixation got the best of Tommy on a downwind landing and he managed to hit the one object in an open desert that could — and did — mess him... Watch Video »

Naked Women Falling From The Sky. Literally. [NSFW...

At some point I’m sure we’ve all had to twist someone’s arm – figuratively speaking – to get on a load. But this poor skydiver literally has his arm twisted out of the socket in freefall which apparently makes dumping your main extremely difficult, if not impossible. Opening and landing a parachute with a dislocated... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Scary Double Malfunction. Make It...
Ground rush can be fun occasionally – except when it doesn’t actually stop. This German skydiver narrowly misses an early appointment with death when his lines snag on his container and the freebag gets entangled with the main. With a heroic effort to climb the lines, he manages to get the reserve out, lands hard,... Watch Video »

Golden Knights: Army Girls Git 'Er Done
Go Army is right! The U.S. Army’s Golden Knights Female 4-way (GKF4) competition team is relatively new, but they’ve been training hard.

Congrats to this up-and-coming female 4-way formation skydiving (FS) team.... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Another Wild Parachute Wrap
What starts out as a solid 4-stack CRW (canopy relative work) rotation by Team Hypoxia quickly turns into four good friends trying to kill each other in another wild parachute wrap. Surprisingly, this mess only resulted in one cutaway. Watch Video »
