Awesome job, your experience as a skydiver and instrucor really shows. Thanks for posting the video, it will serve as a lesson learned for future AFF candidates.

It was a TEAM effort, we both battled her, the bridle and for stability to get the job done.

Yeah, I can imagine. I think you meant to say “I’m the guy in the goofy yellow helmet…” :)

Wow, so this was your video Tim? That must’ve been intense. Good job on your split-second reflexes

She had a few abrasions to her neck but other than that she was fine.
She had no clue as to how close she came to dying.
It was just by luck that I got the bridle unhooked from her helmet chin strap the split second before her canopy opened.

Can’t really blame the instructor and it looks like it was his first AFF jump hope he was ok!!

Exemplary performance from the main-side AFF Instructor! From the in-air coaching to the situational awareness to the near-instant reflexes, this jump deserves green bottle beers!

I’m not sure Chris. The bridle was cleared from her neck once the bag came out, so aside from a messy deployment, I think she landed safely.
