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.

Not so much when you’re exiting a plane. This skydive instructor forgets to unbuckle his seatbelt before exit, and ends up hanging from the plane as his student exits alone on his first (unplanned) solo jump.

This skydive instructor forgets to unbuckle his seatbelt before exit, and ends up hanging from the plane as his student exits alone on his first (unplanned) solo jump. We all make mistakes, and the key is to learn from them. I’m sure he’ll be dreaming about seatbelts for weeks to come and won’t forget to unbuckle anymore.

]]> OMG! This has to be one of the craziest/scariest tandem videos I’ve ever seen. Kinda makes me feel sick just watching it, but luckily this tandem instructor’s negligence ends without casualty. Long story short, this 80 year-old grandma does a tandem skydive for her birthday and nearly falls out of the harness because it’s not properly adjusted prior to exit. Certainly not your typical tandem jump, but WOW is this scary. Barf.

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!
