]]> Some days things just don’t go your way. This poor skydiver was having one of those bad days. First, the freefly tube was spinning him around like a top. Then, his altimeter gets trapped in his risers on deployment. And finally, he steers one-handed and lands super hard in a ditch. In a situation like this, let go of the damn tube — it’s not worth your life! Live and learn people, live and learn.

If you’re going to play chicken with the earth, just remember that it will win. Every time. What exactly happened here? Did he grab his front risers too low? Discuss.

]]> 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 up really badly. You have to watch out for those trailers… they’ll come out of nowhere! All jokes aside, every skydiver makes mistakes. But unfortunately for Tommy, he wasn’t able to escape this mistake without a life-changing injury; his arm was amputated between the shoulder and elbow due to nerve damage.
