POV footage of a paratrooper being "off-dropped" in a less-than-ideal location. Nothing says pucker factor than the fear of a pine tree up the tail! His reaction is priceless.

As if dealing with more line twists after cutting away wasn't a nuisance, (possibly) losing your Velo 111 main and shattering your camera lens makes for an all-around expensive day of jumping.

Konstantine had a premature opening during Skydive Chicago's Summerfest 2013. The only problem... he was supposed to be in the base for the Illinois State Head-Up big way formation record! No worries though, Rook Nelson pulls a "put me in coach" and saves the day. They got the record on the first jump the next day too! Recap: Konstantine wasn't hurt, Rook is a rock star, and they set the record (15-Way). Happy endings all around! Seriously, though... watch your rigs out the door people.Thanks to Ben Nelson of the B-Team for the edit.

We've all seen how scary it is to have a parachute wrap around the strut of a helicopter. Yikes. Well here's the unfortunate end result of a canopy that wraps around a helicopter's tail rotor. Anyone know more details about this incident?

Oh, that lovely moment during deployment when you look up and say, "FACK!" A step-through malfunction is guaranteed to make any deployment more interesting. Good job on staying calm, considering it was his first cutaway. Maybe revisit some packing principles though... or your packer!

Not entirely sure what happened here, but it looks like this skydiver passed out shortly after exit, then woke up and deployed only seconds before impact. And his buddy had quite the hard landing as a result of his low pull too. Anyone else have an explanation for this? Or was this hypoxia or an epileptic seizure or something like that?

Just because you've never had a close call after break-off, doesn't mean it can't happen. This video is a perfect example of why tracking and separation is essential on every skydive. Especially on tracking jumps when it can be even more unclear where to go to get that separation you need. Up the altitude for break-off to help safeguard yourself and your peeps from situations like these. Glad you're ok, guys!

I'd say tracking away at break-off and seeing another plane in the same airspace only a few hundred feet away makes for an exciting skydive. However, not quite as exciting as this other skydiver who literally almost hits a plane.

Holy shitballs, Batman! I just soiled myself. Nothin' like your bridle and d-bag wrapping around the strut of a helicopter to spice up a heli jump. Things get even spicier once the canopy starts to inflate. Scary stuff like this can be avoided with something as simple a gear checks. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR GEAR. If there was one word for you to describe this incident, what would it be? Let us know in the comments.
