I had the misfortune of witnessing a static line injury my 6th jump, he had his bicep ripped clean off. His arm looked like that of an old saggy armed librarian, you could see the detail of the bone against the skin. I landed right next to him and was the first to respond but there was nothing I could do except carefully get him out of the harness and get his top off. I also witnessed my friend become a towed jumper while I was waiting to land and plf. I didn’t know it was him until we all got back to the B’s. They managed to drag him back into the jump door. I hate that it happened to either of them, especially the static line injury but I’m so blessed it wasn’t me. I have a legitimate phobia of static line jumps because of the possibility of either happening. I would rather HALO/HAHO 1000 times than ever static line jump again.

@@FormerGovernmentHuman My brother-in-law told me about something similar when he was in Green Beret training in the 70's and they were doing static line jumps. A guy ahead of him got tangled up in the lines somehow and when he hit the end, it broke his back. He then slipped free and parachuted down with a broken back. Brother-in-law saw it happen but had to jump when it was his turn.

This guy is lucky the parachute didn't actually deploy from the bag. He would likely be nothing more than a red mist and some chunks the way those risers were wrapped around him. The rigger, the inspector, the paratrooper himself, and his static line check buddy may all have some explaining to do depending on what was visible with this jump kit.

Many moons ago (mid 90's) I did a number of jumps at skydive Paso Robles; back when you had to climb out on the wing of a Cessna, hold on to a strut and when the instructor yelled at you, you released and performed the proper "Arms & legs spread out"... the line that was attached to the plane (Just like this video) would open your chute. The instructor on the ground had us "helmet-wired" to talk to us and instruct us as to when to turn, where to land, etc. Second jump, instead of performing the "Out-Stretched arms and legs", I went into the fetal position and was told "I flew over the opening chute"... Everyone on the ground couldn't believe i didn't "Clam-Shell" myself directly into the chute which would have killed me by not allowing me to breakaway from my main and release my emergency chute. Pure luck it was and the veteran skydivers looked at me all day, shaking their heads in disbelief.

Former US paratrooper here. There are procedures for a towed parachutist, as in this case. If you become towed, and are conscious, the jumpmaster in the door will begin to cut your static line, yell to the jumper that he is about to do so, and tell you to standby to deploy your reserve chute. Since you cannot actually see the jumpmaster and the environment is very loud, the jumpmaster will ask you to give a thumbs up acknowledging that you are ready to pull a reserve chute. This is to verify everyone is on the same page, and that the jumper is alert and/or conscious. Obviously cutting an unconscious towed jumper is a death sentence. If the towed jumper IS unconscious, then there is a different procedure.

Over 30 years ago, in the 82nd, I had something similar happen. The static line was wrapped around the main lift web. Something felt off when I hooked up, because as a big guy, I always popped the first band. The guy behind me slapped my back and said all good, but it still didn't feel right. I was right door, outboard and yelled to my buddy diagonally behind me on the inboard to check. It got fixed, but the jump master tried to accuse me of tampering with my own chute. Idiot was just trying to cover his ass because he missed it on pre jump inspection. I was just glad I was not a towed jumper!

Just to tie up a technicality if i may? During HUPRA nothing is attached at the body end of the parachutist. Back in the day on the PX 1 Mk 4 the Hupra cable is passed through every single static line buckle to ensure that the primary and targeted static line is encompassed in the system. Checks sre carried out until finally the 'Cable' an intrinsic piece of the aircraft is bolt cropped. On average from start to finish, HUPRA can normally be deployed successfully in around 7 minutes..!

Может он перепутал название парашютов или ему что-то не сказали? Открытие Парашюта этого типа, зависит от линя, который его выдёргивает из рюкзака. Именно по этому, парашютист должен сгруппироваться в комок, поджав ноги и охватив себя руками за места крепления строп/плечевые ремни, после выхода в открытый шлюз. А не на оборот, как с парашютом, у которого нужно выдёрнуть вспомогательный парашют. Maybe he mixed up the name of the parachutes or wasn’t told something? The opening of this type of Parachute depends on the line that pulls it out of the backpack. It is for this reason that the parachutist must group himself into a ball, tucking his legs and wrapping his arms around himself at the attachment points of the slings/shoulder straps, after exiting the open airlock. And not the other way around, as with a parachute, from which you need to pull out the auxiliary parachute.

I had the misfortune of witnessing a static line injury my 6th jump, he had his bicep ripped clean off. His arm looked like that of an old saggy armed librarian, you could see the detail of the bone against the skin. I landed right next to him and was the first to respond but there was nothing I could do except carefully get him out of the harness and get his top off. I also witnessed my friend become a towed jumper while I was waiting to land and plf. I didn’t know it was him until we all got back to the B’s. They managed to drag him back into the jump door. I hate that it happened to either of them, especially the static line injury but I’m so blessed it wasn’t me. I have a legitimate phobia of static line jumps because of the possibility of either happening. I would rather HALO/HAHO 1000 times than ever static line jump again.

This guy is lucky the parachute didn't actually deploy from the bag. He would likely be nothing more than a red mist and some chunks the way those risers were wrapped around him.

Ten seconds of searching on here will find Yanks doing so.
Many moons ago (mid 90's) I did a number of jumps at skydive Paso Robles; back when you had to climb out on the wing of a Cessna, hold on to a strut and when the instructor yelled at you, you released and performed the proper "Arms & legs spread out"... the line that was attached to the plane (Just like this video) would open your chute. The instructor on the ground had us "helmet-wired" to talk to us and instruct us as to when to turn, where to land, etc. Second jump, instead of performing the "Out-Stretched arms and legs", I went into the fetal position and was told "I flew over the opening chute"... Everyone on the ground couldn't believe i didn't "Clam-Shell" myself directly into the chute which would have killed me by not allowing me to breakaway from my main and release my emergency chute. Pure luck it was and the veteran skydivers looked at me all day, shaking their heads in disbelief.

Former US paratrooper here. There are procedures for a towed parachutist, as in this case. If you become towed, and are conscious, the jumpmaster in the door will begin to cut your static line, yell to the jumper that he is about to do so, and tell you to standby to deploy your reserve chute. Since you cannot actually see the jumpmaster and the environment is very loud, the jumpmaster will ask you to give a thumbs up acknowledging that you are ready to pull a reserve chute. This is to verify everyone is on the same page, and that the jumper is alert and/or conscious. Obviously cutting an unconscious towed jumper is a death sentence. If the towed jumper IS unconscious, then there is a different procedure.

Over 30 years ago, in the 82nd, I had something similar happen. The static line was wrapped around the main lift web. Something felt off when I hooked up, because as a big guy, I always popped the first band. The guy behind me slapped my back and said all good, but it still didn't feel right. I was right door, outboard and yelled to my buddy diagonally behind me on the inboard to check. It got fixed, but the jump master tried to accuse me of tampering with my own chute. Idiot was just trying to cover his ass because he missed it on pre jump inspection. I was just glad I was not a towed jumper!

It wasn't "his" parachute that deployed, it was the HUPRA.
Just to tie up a technicality if i may? During HUPRA nothing is attached at the body end of the parachutist. Back in the day on the PX 1 Mk 4 the Hupra cable is passed through every single static line buckle to ensure that the primary and targeted static line is encompassed in the system. Checks sre carried out until finally the 'Cable' an intrinsic piece of the aircraft is bolt cropped. On average from start to finish, HUPRA can normally be deployed successfully in around 7 minutes..!

Remembering of course that it was never a single handed effort with either 2 or 4 dispatchers on each Sortie and the cable always cut by the Air Loadmaster who was ready to rock and roll from the get go 👍👍🪂🪂
If your going to post something, don’t say in the description that he “somehow escaped”. They attach another parachute and cut the lines. Do a little research.

Well at least he was hooked in
Yes that was a special chute attached to the static line .
My desk job is feeling not so bad now.
Hook-up, shuffle to the door and GET OFF MY AIRCRAFT...and a bad exit......
Was there no way in pulling him back into the aircraft? Looks like they attached an emergency chute and cut him loose.
My first sergeant tried getting me to try out for special forces. I always refused, and he finally asked why. I said that would involve jumping out of planes. Do you really want to have someone there with a pry bar to get me out of my seat, and to have to physically throw me from the plane?? He never asked again.
Looks like poor guy picked up an injury as well (1:21)

Is that blood?
What's he pointing to in the last bit?
Fixing an emergency chute to the line then cutting it away is normal practice
WHOA!!!
Rather have the static line retriever pull me back in especially if tailgating.
I just want to know how he managed to get back to the DZ. Was the aircraft just spinning circles until he got free? it didnt seem like it.

There is a winch called a static line retrieval system that just hooks into or in front of the static line, then you suck him back into the aircraft. Or if he's conscious, just cut him free and he'll activate his reserve chute. Hopefully.

@dafox - the aircraft is trimmed to reduce turbulence around the hung up paratrooper and goes into a slow wide orbit around the DZ. The jumper is released at a point in the orbit which increases the likelihood of them landing in the DZ.
Slowed it down to 0.5speed: looks like his groin straps broke or weren’t fastened properly, after the risers tangled in that aluminum piece. Lotta things went wrong in sequence but WOW, is he lucky.
He lucked out .
He didn't escape, he was just cargo. They attached an emergency parachute to his static line and then cut him free under that chute. Actually, searches for "hangup rescue parachute" come here first, so I guess that's what it is.
Was this guy deliberately trying to do this? Or did he sneak on the plane and never went to jump school? He even ripped off his reserve.
Может он перепутал название парашютов или ему что-то не сказали? Открытие Парашюта этого типа, зависит от линя, который его выдёргивает из рюкзака. Именно по этому, парашютист должен сгруппироваться в комок, поджав ноги и охватив себя руками за места крепления строп/плечевые ремни, после выхода в открытый шлюз. А не на оборот, как с парашютом, у которого нужно выдёрнуть вспомогательный парашют. Maybe he mixed up the name of the parachutes or wasn’t told something? The opening of this type of Parachute depends on the line that pulls it out of the backpack. It is for this reason that the parachutist must group himself into a ball, tucking his legs and wrapping his arms around himself at the attachment points of the slings/shoulder straps, after exiting the open airlock. And not the other way around, as with a parachute, from which you need to pull out the auxiliary parachute.
I'm curious how far he landed from the actual landing zone lol

There's no hmmmm about it, this video was part of the training course for all British military paratroopers for about 20yrs, I've seen the full version a handful of times. The aircraft didn't just fuck off to the far horizon, it went into orbit around the DZ and the hung up paratrooper was released at the point in that orbit that would get him on to the DZ because that's where the medics would be waiting!

Find him and ask for six random numbers for the lottery.
I don't understand what happened - static line jump but he stayed attached to the Plane ?....was he unconscious? ....do they have reserve shuts, could he have cut loose and deployed a reserve?

Just to help you? The British likely the same as most countries that deploy HUPRA teach a very specific reaction to being hung up. 1. If poss, the hands should come to the top of their helmet to show consciousness. In the old days, the PX 1 MK4 could not be cut away ergo any deployment of a reserve would or could likely bring the aircraft down.
I'm not doing that again!
Many comments from the Armchair Experts feature here!
static line was under his arm when he jumped
Let’s go LEG!
Maybe he was chocked by breaking an arm or hardly squeezed (hallo Yello swiss duo) in groins by the ropes? So not moving after the strapping on.😢
Wonder how far off base he landed
I forgot why I allways carry a knife i the days I was still skydiving even started to think no reason to have it
А теперь кто понимает, расскажите что случилось???
saw a similar video where the guy got untangled and just dropped... chute never opened
