There's a hard opening. And then there's... this.

No details were submitted with this video, but it gets spicy pretty quickly. This skydiver cant seem to deploy his main canopy, resulting in a CYPRES save and a hard landing. By the looks of it, the pilot chute is still in the BOC after landing. What do you think happened?

How long can you wait to cutaway a line over (or was it a tension knot?) before it fixes itself? Apparently this long. Pulling the toggles might have cleared this malfunction, but don't wait so long to try toggles or follow emergency procedures.

With less than 50 jumps, there's nothing quite like getting "current" on Safety Day with a re-certification jump that involves a broken altimeter, a dirty low pull, a CYPRES fire and two parachutes to deal with at low altitude. On Safety Day!! Oh, the irony. ALTITUDE AWARENESS people... it's pretty much your only job when you jump out of a plane. Please pay attention and stay safe (especially on Safety Day).

The infamous "no pull find" when Douggs fumbles his pilot chute and the third attempt saves his life. Douggs: 1, Earth: 0 (it was a close match).

I dont mean to sound like Captain Obvious, but Id say this was a really bad idea. This botched 2-way shoulder stand BASE jump turns into a 2-way parachute entanglement and a thud.

A poorly stowed brake line catches on the ring sight of Jeff's helmet. Unable to clear the entanglement, he cuts away his main canopy without attempting to cutaway his helmet first, which is still securely attached to his head. Luckily the helmet rips off -- it should have broken his neck. Welcome to the less-than-9-lives club, Jeff! Be sure to read Jeff's recommendations at the end of the video (2:55 mark) and let us know if you agree or disagree in the comments.

Campbells nasty double malfunction is the stuff skydivers nightmares are made of. It starts off with a pilot chute in tow due to a bridle wrap. He pulls his cutaway and then his reserve, but the main canopy comes out and wraps around his reserve lines due to the dual-sided RSL, which chokes off the reserve. At this point, the double malfunction spins out of control for the next 2,500 feet (give or take) until he impacts the ground. Aside from a minor concussion, Campbell was fortunate to walk away from this incident intact no broken bones or any serious injuries!Honestly, I dont know much about dual RSLs, but it sounds like a bad idea to me. Does anyone know why a dual RSL setup would be more beneficial than a single RSL?

A Brazilian BASE jumper strikes a cliff after a 180 degree opening and luckily escapes without a scratch! Way to save your own life Rodolfo! This happened at the Mottavation exit point in Castelo (Esprito Santo), Brazil.
