This incident starts off with a pilot chute in tow, which was caused by a packing error (uncocked pilot chute). After an unsuccessful attempt to deploy his main parachute by pulling the bridal, this skydiver decided to go straight for his reserve parachute.

As the reserve deployed, his main parachute also came out of the container, which he immediately cut away while it was still in the d-bag, but the lines were wrapped around his feet and the main parachute began to inflate. Luckily he managed to ball up so that he could reach his feet to clear the entanglement, and he landed his reserve safely without any other exciting surprises.

This is an intense malfunction, which could've been avoided with a simple fix: cock your pilot chute 😉 What would you have done in this situation?

Well this escalates quickly! The forecasted winds drastically changed direction, leaving this jumper with very few outs for an off-DZ landing. He managed to fly under a set of power lines and land on the side of the road. Phew!

During a rookie 3-way scramble competition, one of the jumpers doesn't track away at break-off and deploys under the camera flyer who had planned on pulling in place. Combine the lack of separation with an off-heading opening and you have yourself a near collision.

If you're a camera flyer on a skydive with rookie jumpers, you might not get the separation you were expecting if they don't track far enough or if they pull high at break-off. Just some food for thought.

A BASE jump starts off with an off-heading opening, but the 'excitement' doesn't stop there. After flying through fog, over trees and crossing two sets of power lines, I'd say this landing qualifies our friend Luiggi for official ninja status!

During a coaching jump, this skydiver loses control while back-flying and goes into a flat spin. Unable to regain control, he deploys his parachute while spinning on his back.

There's never a good time for a premature opening, but luckily this didn't happen on a bigway with more jumpers in the sky. Another repetitive reminder to check your gear to ensure you have a tight closing loop and tight BOC, as well as a bungee cord on your leg straps to make sure you don't fall out of your harness.

A wingsuit collision can really mess up your day (or your life), so try not to fly into your friends. Way too close — this could've turned really nasty, really fast. Fly safe out there kids.

There are far too many "near misses" and canopy collision close calls being sent our way lately, I'm losing count.

This incident occurred on a team training jump after both jumpers had off-heading openings on converging paths. Sure, two off-heading openings flying towards each other might sound like a fluke or rare occurrence, but adding more horizontal separation at break-off (and more vertical separation if a camera flyer is pulling in place) is usually a good idea.

An unstable body position on a hop 'n pop turns in to messy deployment as the bridle wraps around the skydiver's foot. Yikes!
