Worst Skydiving Student Mistake Spinning Low Altitude Deployment AFF Category E2 AFF Happens

AFF Category E2 is the last jump before a student is allowed to jump unsupervised solo. In this video, the student had a great jump overall until it came to the final step, deployment. The student's body position was head high and his legs were on his butt. This made for a very unstable body position. Most importantly, the student almost forgot the most important priority of any skydive, PULL. Priority #2 is to pull at the correct altitude. Stability while pulling is the least important, and as you can see this student forgot that. Skydiving Gone Wrong

Buddy wanted every last foot of that jump

Bro, the instructor opened his canopy before the student did 😂 he said “I ain’t dying tryna save this fool”

The best part about these videos is that they can never really be too long

The student's mistake aside, this is one of the most stunning and impeccably shot skydiving videos I've ever seen. That pass through the clouds @1:04, almost didn't look real. Like it was CGI. This was breathtaking to watch.

Skydiving fact: if you make a stupid mistake… you have the rest of your life to fix it.

The groan from the instructor, said it all!

Thank you for posting. Half way through Spaceland's STP program and feel really confident. This is a good reminder that just because you had a few good solo jumps, doesn't mean you're a pro

Man .... ! what a stress for the instructor....

[mathixx]

It's funny that all you need to do is arch and yet under stress you forget about it.

Best cloud fly-through I’ve seen! That reach backward has to have messed up many stable descents!

It's a good video for students but also all future AFFIs. You can see how fast a student can get away from you and how AFFIs really need to stay in that slot to do that bottom end sequence.

Meh nobody pulls anymore. It’s so overrated

[fcwolfx]

He panicked. The worst possible thing you could ever do during free fall. Helpful advice for future AFF's; if you ever find yourself in this situation, don't worry about trying to get stable. Pull anyways. Deployment might be a bit uncomfortable, but you won't put yourself in a deadly situation with a low altitude deployment.

I had the pleasure of Jumping with this instructor, before he was an instructor, and I was only on jump #40. I never met him before that jump and he s Always one of the nicest guys at the DZ, and extremely trust worthy. Great video, keep up the good work

I hope he carried on with it after this, it’s a harsh learning environment, but fortunately it was all good.

[ilyafilru]

That was sketchy. I'm seriously rethinking becoming an AFF-I. I'm a new instructor and have had a couple of saves already. It's so stressful sometimes, but very rewarding also.

[Matt-dgue]

He was so focused on the advanced that he forgot the basics

[stevemcilroy]

Wow, that was close, seconds away from disaster.

[Tundraalex]

Putting the AFF student through a cloud, you're brave for putting this on here...

[Skyomen]

That's my home DZ, close call, glad he made it!
