Two skydivers scrambling to deal with a Cypres fire and two-out makes for an exciting 2-way Scrambles competition. Given the situation, which would you prefer: a side-by-side or bi-plane? (the obvious choice is neither, but I'm just curious)

I bet both of these skydivers have never been so grateful for an off-heading opening. Phew! Zoo dive: 1, Death: 0.

Well, I've seen all sorts of target fixation, from a skydiver flying straight into a blimp or hitting a stage, to another skydiver hitting a parked truck and now this -- a skydiver hitting a pump maintenance shack.

Nothing puts the FUN in malfunction like an accidental jump on a Russian D-6 round that was packed for "educational purposes" and put on by mistake. Tanel exited at 2,000 feet only to discover that he was wearing the wrong parachute AND it had a step through. Oops!

I'm not a tandem instructor, but I'm pretty sure a tandem skydive doesn't involve punching your student repeatedly in freefall (regardless of their poor body position). At least the student was already in the fetal position once the jabs and right-hooks started flying. Thoughts?

I don't know anything about paratrooper / military jumps, so I can't comment on the exit separation (or lack thereof) and the ensuing cluster f*ck of 50+ canopies, canopy wrap and impact. But I do know I would pay ANYTHING to jump out of that plane!

There isn't too much snow around the Perrine Bridge in the middle of July with 100 degree temps. So what's a pro skier like Mike Wilson and his crew supposed to do when they have an idea to pull off a rail slide to BASE jump? Import ice, of course, and use a wood chipper to turn it into snow. Well, the wood chipper idea didn't go so well, and neither did Mike's first attempt. GNAR!

There's all sorts of carnage in this compilation, from two skydiving planes colliding to canopy collisions to dirty low pulls and everything in between. A little something for everyone.

Getting tossed around like a ragdoll is never fun! Dust devil: 1, Skydiver: 0
