Not Work Safe .

[Cookie_]

Is this even real? I've seen only 1 towed jumper and he was a fucking trauma alert/TBI.

If that's me and I survive, either pulled in or cut, I'm looking for jumpmaster blood.

It's real. The story I've seen is that dude got hung up on his equipment and activated his own reserve before being retrieved. No major injuries somehow.

WTF...dude is dangling in the wind and someone's first thought is to pull out their phone and record it rather than take action to resolve the problem?

It's probably a gopro video that got leaked. Our jumpmasters/safeties usually wear them specifically to do after action reviews on stuff like this

God... fuck...(sigh), this might be the second best post here today, but it is definitely on the podium.

Dude is a towed jumper and decides what he needs is MORE drag? That's one way to solve the problem.

REDDIT isn't always right!!!

A good JM/Pilot Brief and an experienced DZ team will be the difference between a safe recovery or a safety stand down.

This jumper was not maintaining ripcord awareness but was clearly conscious. Due to these 2 facts 99 times out of 100 this Static line is getting cut and he's owing the RIGGERS alot of BEER.

The REDDIT poster also says he was towed for over 90 seconds. I have to assume this 90 seconds was the A/C increasing altitude and doing a tight Racetrack (or a 180 based on routing) to get back over the DZ, as discussed in JM/Pilot brief. Once all parties are comfortable, break out the dull pocket knife!!!!

I don't Think this was an activation while still being towed but a text book cut and pull.

Just my thoughts on the matter!

That reddit post is just the first "round-up post" I found. Here's the original post from the jumpmaster.

Cookie, you really need to learn how to quote-copy-paste or something. Burn your phone, I don't know the answer.

It's only Instagram that does this for some reason. I'll have to figure it out

Don’t do it. Save yourself.

I'd be curious to see actual ballistics data on these. Every other shot, goes an inch high or low; depending on your shooting position.

Bullseye!!
