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 you’ve ever had any full-contact freefall injuries, tell us about it in the comments.

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.

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.

Imagine what his 100th jump will look like. Now he just needs to downsize and start swooping by jump #12 ;) If you’re a freeflyer, how many jumps until you were flying head down? Let us know in the comments.

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?

]]> 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 the instructor landed with all 10 fingers. What a lucky grab.
