While flying his wingsuit and deploying in max flight, David gets slammed with a hard opening. He looks up to find his canopy in a "bow tie," but this was not the result of a standard line-over malfunction... his pilot chute was wrapped around the canopy! To quote David, "I give this a 0 out of 10... I do not recommend this."

A pilot chute in tow is never a fun malfunction. Ever.

In this case, Gustavo thinks this incident might be related to his gear. His container was a Racer Shadow (DOM 2012), which had two lips on the closing flap; he believes those lips were stuck on top of the bridle, which prevented the bridle from pulling the closing pin.

A seemingly harmless tube jump ends with a sketchy opening as line twists begin to develop and the freefly tube wraps around the lines. Luckily the tube doesn't get entangled within the line twists, but Jeremy still has to choppity chop chop.

What's it like to pass out from hypoxia in freefall? Well, it starts with 5 skydivers at 22,000 feet and only 4 oxygen masks. Those numbers just don't add up.

After exiting the plane, one of the skydivers becomes unconscious in freefall; his 2 friends have to stabilize him and deploy his main parachute. When he landed, he told his friends that he woke up under canopy!

A situation like this could've easily been avoided had there been enough oxygen masks for all 5 skydivers. The effects of hypoxia are serious and can happen without you even knowing, so please be careful and stay aware of what can happen on high altitude jumps.

An AFF student unintentionally pulls his instructor's cutaway handle. Nobody notices. Instructor pulls his main, which is followed by an expensive surprise.

On a scale of 1 to 10, this has a pucker factor of 22. A skydiver on a group jump turns 110 degrees at break-off and tracks away while looking between his legs. The result is nearly catastrophic, as he strikes the lines of another jumper on opening. This is WAY too close and could've been fatal. Just remember that we all make mistakes, so I want to thank the jumpers who cautiously shared this footage with us in hope of others learning from this incident. Watch, learn, and please be mindful of your comments.

Bored of 4-way formation skydiving? Just take it dirty low to get a few more points that will make things exciting again. Or don't. Heck, I'm surprised they didn't do a bit of CRW once they opened.

We all make mistakes from time to time, so if you ever forget how to exit a plane, give this a try: Step 1) step on step. Step 2) see step #1. Step 3) if you didn't follow step #1 or step #2, you're doing it wrong! Wow, that's a lot of steps just to step on a step 😉

This situation escalated quickly, from a simple angle jump to two skydivers being knocked out in freefall.

The girl in the white jumpsuit lost control and hit another skydiver in the back of the head/neck. She got knocked out for the duration of the jump and was saved by her AAD (CYPRES).

The "victim" who got hit was also knocked out, but he regained consciousness in freefall and deployed his parachute to land safely.

They're both incredibly lucky not to have been paralyzed or seriously injured from this incident.
