This skydiving student is fine, just a minor bruise to his ego. In the wise words of Tyler Durden from Fight Club… “JUST LET GO!” Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Broken Nose In Freefall? Blood Ev...
We can all agree skydiving is a bloody good time, but this is a bit too much. Spin spin spin, spin stop, bloody mess. That about sums up this gem. I’m not sure if this instructor broke his nose, but with the amount of blood squirting from it, it sure looks like he did. If... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Skydiving Student's Low, Low, LOW...
Maintaining altitude awareness is a good thing. Having an instructor that saves your ass is even better, especially when you’re flopping around on your back and then you freeze at pull time, like deer in the headlights. Before watching the very last second of this video, take a guess at his deployment altitude. Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Opening Parachute Hits Instructor...
Sometimes when a situation takes a downward spiral, you’ve got to take matters into your own hands. One of these skydiving instructors keeps his hands on the student. Good call. The other instructor takes a set of lines to the face instead. Not such a good call. Watch Video »

Friday Freakout: AFF Student Spins Like A Top
As students, we’re all taught to arch, ARch, ARCH! Unfortunately that doesn’t work so well for this guy. He ends up on his back, spinning like a top. Or maybe he just couldn’t wait to start back flying. After all, it was his fourth jump (AFF Level 4). How did you fourth jump go? Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Student's Toggle Fires. In Freefa...
What do you do when your AFF student’s toggle comes unstowed in freefall? Do nothing? Watch it flop around like spaghetti? The instructor in this video had a pretty sweet (slash scary, slash dangerous) save, and managed to unstow the other toggle on deployment. Luckily it worked; the student had a nice on-heading opening and... Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: AFF Instructor Low Pull + Malfunc...
Although this AFF instructor-in-training seems a little nervous, there’s no reason he should’ve dumped this low. Line twists below 2,000 feet are a pain in the ass, but then chopping that low and having to deal with more line twists on your reserve really sucks! On the bright side, at least his main wasn’t too... Watch Video »
