This swooper felt the canopy wouldn't turn left when rolling out, so he went over the parking lot and slid in under the power lines. Power lines are never a good thing.

A wingsuit pilot has a "slider down" deployment, resulting in a very hard opening — instant canopy! After being winded from the forceful opening, he mutters "check canopy," which he doesn't recall saying out loud. Four weeks later, x-rays revealed an AC shoulder dislocation and a bulged disk in his neck.

Another self-induced step-through malfunction strikes again. Here's what Sam had to say about it:"Prior to this cutaway, I'd been coaching for a few days and had partially disassembled my gear for demonstration purposes... but hadn't done a line check and repack since I was 'certain' that I'd been careful when reassembling my gear. This video clearly suggests otherwise. My first cutaway, and completely, embarrassingly avoidable if I'd been diligent and thorough instead of complacent and careless. Lesson learned the hard way."

Dust devils bring new meaning to the term "dirt dive." In this case, a skydiver gets dragged across the ground by a dust devil while landing at Skydive Arizona. While the large canopy (Safire 210) certainly didn't help in this situation, it's good practice to release your RSL (if applicable) and cutaway to prevent yourself from being dragged in high winds or dust devils.

Did You Know: A dust devil is a strong, well-formed and relatively long-lived whirlwind, ranging from small (half a meter wide and a few meters tall) to large (more than 10 meters wide and more than 1000 meters tall)!

That moment when you deploy your parachute and realize you packed yourself a fun surprise... a step-through malfunction! Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Go directly to cutaway.

An aggressive toggle turn at 850 feet causes spinning line twists all the way to the ground. He was way too low to cutaway, but luckily he clears the line twists just before hitting the ground. Aside from being winded and some bruising, there were no serious injuries!

At first glance, this appears to be a tension knot malfunction, but it was actually caused by one of the lines being wrapped around the bottom of the (Wings) container. It turns into a messy cutaway and reserve deployment, leaving the main parachute wrapped around this skydiver's foot!

NOTE: It was a Contour camera mounted to the side of the helmet, but the mount broke and the camera was just hanging by the tether to the helmet, hence the seizure-inducing footage. Not ideal, but we tried our best to make sense of this video with the freeze frames.

This is footage from a skydiver who had two close calls in the same day.

In the first clip, he nearly collides with a canopy (orange) in freefall as the canopy flies up jump run. He noticed the canopy just as he was about to pull, so he delayed his deployment to fly past the canopy to avoid the chances of snivelling into the orange canopy.

In the second clip, he flies past another canopy in freefall while tracking away from a 9-way. This time it was an AFF student who had exited before the 9-way group and was flying their canopy up jump run.

This video is a great reminder of how important it is to avoid flying your canopy up jump run, having proper exit order (AFF should have gone after the 9-way group), having proper separation between groups, and being mindful of your tracking direction at break-off.

Location: Skydive Lodi

While hucking a gainer on a hop-n-pop, Callum deploys with his belly to the relative wind, but the bag doesn't come out of the container as he was still rotating. His lines get caught under the reserve tray, and he goes for a spin before cutting away.
