Ever wonder why you're taught to throw -- not hold on to -- your pilot chute? Yup. This is why. Listen to your instructors. They know stuff.

A skydive student has a seizure in freefall while doing his AFF Level 5. The seizure begins at 9,000 feet, the instructor deploys the student's canopy at 4,000 feet, then the student regains consciousness at 3,000 feet and lands safely. Scary stuff. It's rare that a skydiving video fit for our Friday Freakout series gets posted on a Monday, but this video is an exception.

When you pay for a pack job, the last thing youd expect is a step-through and a misrouted toggle (at least thats what this looks like), yet thats exactly what Tom got on his next jump. Money well spent :p

A skydiver flips onto his back mid-deployment, which leads to a whole mess of lines entangled around his legs and likely a dirty pair of underwear. But the fun doesnt stop there. Watch how this all unfolds...

There are some people who get one chance at life and there are those who get 9 lives either due to their cat-like reflexes or just sheer luck. Then theres Sketchy Andy a manboy who continually cheats death and who has officially used 22 of his 9 lives after this intentional BASE jump cutaway that goes horribly wrong.

A planned wingsuit flyby ends with an unplanned low pull and nasty line twists. The wingsuit pilot decides to kick out the twists instead of cutting away due to the low altitude, but cant clear them in time and lands with the lines twists. Remember: altitude is your friend. Dont pull low.

Here's a quick way to learn how to break your femur in 4 places along with your spine (L4 fracture). If you don't want to see bad skills and poor decision making, please look away.

Line twists lead to a cutaway, which sends a skydiver flying through another canopy's airspace. Yet another reason why proper separation at break-off is so important. And an RSL isn't a bad idea either, but I'm sure some of you have an opinion about that.

Yes, this AFF student spins out of control. And yes, he pulls his reserve at 9,000 feet. But in his defense, the instructor unexpectedly induced the spin after telling the student to pull his reserve if he got separated for any reason (according to the videographer). Not. Cool.
