Re: Parachute Jump Goes Fatally Wrong for Infantry Officer
That was easily corrected with a cut away... He was either poorly trained, and/or panicking and frose up...  |

Any parachute people here know what happened? Seemed intact. Crossed lines?

In Brazil, even the air will execute you.

Re: Parachute Jump Goes Fatally Wrong for Infantry Officer
When does he open the reserve? Can you see it in the footage?

Re: Parachute Jump Goes Fatally Wrong for Infantry Officer
They take you through a LOT of different scenarios when you are learning skydiving. I was surprised to find out all the things you can do with a bad chute. There are probably 10 different things you can try. But the end decision is to cut the main chute loose, count to 3, and pull your reserve. You can't hesitate. You go through the steps and DO IT!

You gotta admit, that uniform looks badass. Wonder what it looked like flattened on the ground.

Re: Parachute Jump Goes Fatally Wrong for Infantry Officer
I believe he opened it at 19 seconds. I think its the small dark blue chute that comes out behind the main chute. I'm not a parachute expert so someone can quote me on this.
