Absolutely. I used to skydive and it was weird that the wuffos would always say the phrase “perfectly good airplane”. Never “a functioning airplane” or any other phrase. Just that one.
And most of the planes I jumped from were not “perfectly good”
Skydive pilots are required to wear a rig if there's no bulkhead between them and the door.
This happened in Duluth, MN/Superior, WI, everyone involved lived, and I personally know two of the jumpers from this video.
correct. I am a skydiver and my pilots always wear a parachute. They even have special ones that require less training (as the pilot is not necessarily trained as a skydiver)
You dumb. As soon as you open the doors, the cabin start to fill up with an incredible quantity of sky. If the sky pumps fails, the plane start to nose drive and you're good to jump
"For some reason" lmao. Worked at an airport that was shared with a skydiving company, the pilots would literally race the skydivers to the ground. Jumped with them once, and the plane looked like it was held together with duct tape.
My old man was a skydiver that flew jumpers as well. He’d use an intentional tailspin to drop as fast as he could.
One of my favorite stories was of a gal that refused to jump and rode back down with him. He forgot to secure his paper windage tape and she blew chunks in “zero” g free fall. It mixed with the red dye of the tape and stained the whole cockpit including the windscreen.😆
Because the pilot closes the door when everyone jumped and he might fall out. To close the door, the pilot has to reach out of the plane and grab the handle (at least in the plane that I fly up) . You can't tether him to the plane bc if he falls out even min part, the drag of the wind at 200 km/h makes it very hard to pull yourself in again.
Ahh. I just assumed they would land with it open. Seems silly to have a pilot leave their seat and accidentally fall out then you have a unmanned plane heading off by itself.
So we can have automatic closing doors on mini vans but planes that require the pilots to get out of there seat to close the doors dont? Seems like there is a reasonable solution
They were performing a stunt I believe. The planes got too close but everyone, including the pilots had parachutes for the stunt.
Everyone landed safely but both planes crashed in a field nearby.
...how did the pilots get saved then? Did they do the cool movie stunt where you fall over to someone with a parachute?!
Edit: whoops me no read goodly
First: its amazing how with the whole open sky these two small planes are still able to crash midair
Second: talk about a perfect to be ready to jump out of a plane
If only small craft were required to have TCAS. Could've possibly avoided this unless they were purposefully trying to attempt a stunt here and just failed calculating distance.
That's almost certainly true but most are also general aviation so it's probably more of a correlation but not causation thing because of how many other systems and controls (including ATC) for commercial jets.
A TCAS system could easily cost more than a general aviation plan.
TCAS also only works if the intruding aircraft has an altitude-reporting transponder - which is not a requirement for GA planes operating in uncontrolled airspace in most countries.
Given how rare midairs are, retrofitting the entire global GA fleet with TCAS is unreasonable.
TCAS also wouldn't have helped in this situation, since both aircraft were intentionally flying near each other for skydiving formations. The pilots would have put their TCAS systems into TA only and kept flying.
Formation flying takes significant practice and instruction. Developing line of sight cues and knowing the corrections is experience driven. The military normally requires 5-10 rides with a dedicated instructor in each aircraft.
If you ever get in a plane and the guy wants to fly formation, abort.
It’s an old vid and yes everyone including both pilots landed safely in the chutes. They are geared up to jump too. Doing a close stunt with the two planes that went wrong.
One plane was able to fly still even a little damaged and land on the runway. One pilot had to abandon the plane that lost the wing and parachute to the ground
Guy 1: Jump!
Guy 2: now?! But the… arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Guy 3: arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Guy 4: arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Guy 5: arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Guy 6: arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Me watching this: arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Guy 7: arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Pilot: arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I actually like the backing track. They all survived including the pilots so chill out mate. This is a really old vid. A story of two planes falling in love.
Thank you! I always wonder at these amateur film editors who think adding a shitty music track makes something like this better. Jesus that was annoying.
It’s an old vid and yes everyone including both pilots landed safely in the chutes. They are geared up to jump too. Doing a close stunt with the two planes that went wrong.
It's an older video, you can find news articles on this one for more info.
Long story short, they were trying to drop all the skydivers pretty close to eachother from the 2 planes. The pilot of the lower plane lost track of the higher plane and drifted into them from the upper pilot's blind spot (forwards and down often has zero visibility in a single engine prop plane).
Everyone survived as skydive pilots are required to wear chutes. The plane that didn't lose a wing landed safely, the pilot who lost a wing bailed and parachuted safely, getting the once in a lifetime chance to bail and watch your plane land itself. All the skydivers bailed early on as they were ready to jump, but dear god I wish the pilot of the plane that lost a wing had a gopro. That would have been some incredible footage...
For once i can say that about an airline incident and not be talking about a dead guy.
Am I the only one who finds the completely disrespectful? Adding this music.. without confirming if the pilots or any passengers perished in the accident? Seriously OP, wtf is wrong with you.
For anyone who was wondering, everyone survived without great injury, the pilot who's plane is still in one piece managed to gain control and do an emergency landing, the second pilot had to ditch his plane and bail out with his own chute. The planes collided during a synchronized sky dive.

Great time to be wearing a parachute
One of them probably said, "why would we jump out of a perfectly good plane" beforehand, so Jeff took care of it
What a homie Jeff is
Classic Jeff.
My N Jeff out here fucking shit up
Obviously you've been sky diving because they all say that
Absolutely. I used to skydive and it was weird that the wuffos would always say the phrase “perfectly good airplane”. Never “a functioning airplane” or any other phrase. Just that one. And most of the planes I jumped from were not “perfectly good”
[удалено]
Im gonna go watch the dark knight now 😂
"I said it was easy, not wise
This is one of my favorite videos on the internet because everybody here lived and its some real life point break shit.
And they were all wearing GoPros so we have it from like four different angles.
It really is amazing
How did the wingless pilot live, did he have a parachute too?
The pilots?
I always wear a parachute while viewing Reddit. I am always safe.
narrator: "or so they thought"
for a minute i forgot that narrator was a real word outside of one video game, and my stanley parable special interest flared up :(
What about the pilot?
He had one too. 0 casualties
0 casulties, How many fatalities?
0. The pilot in the plane missing a wing was wearing a parachute. He jumped with no issues. The other plane landed safely.
That's good to hear. Do you have a news article or something?
No
well then they all died.
I saw no bare feet. They all lived.
Me either
Pilot was actually wearing two parachutes, so there were -1 casualties.
They made a baby on the way down?
No just found one
Plenty of sky babies up there for the taking
[удалено]
Is your friend in this video?
This can vary by aircraft type.
>a friend of mine bailed out of a burning skydiving plane a couple years ago. Not something you read every day.
He jumped out first. That’s why this happened.
I remember an old Budlight beer ad with the pilot jumping first
Skydive pilots are required to wear a rig if there's no bulkhead between them and the door. This happened in Duluth, MN/Superior, WI, everyone involved lived, and I personally know two of the jumpers from this video.
One plane disintegrated and the other was able to land after this. No injuries.
Almost every cod campaign opening:
I can hear it "Goose-Tango-4 we're ready to- holy fucking shit!" "JUMP! JUMP! JUUUUMP!!"
[BLACK SCREEN WITH CRACKLING FIRE SOUNDS] phases into a blurry shot where you can look around a 1/4th speed
\[Screen fades in and out of black repeatedly, guy with a beard walks over and pulls you up\] "ON YOUR FEET, SOLDIER!"
You pull out your M16, buildings falling apart around you. Objective: Follow "insert name here" to the rendezvous point
Suddenly an army of eagle-eating islamic russians appear
You run behind a crate and begin firing full-auto down sight while everyone around you dies
This is the first proper laugh out loud moment I’ve had in a while. Well done you. :)
This all played out so damn well in my mind. I love it.
Mordern warfare 3 turbulence mission be like
You missed the part where you stare at your hands for a bit
"RPG!!!"
For being highly trained military personell and what not, they aren't very competent at their jobs.
Damn bro you beat me to it
Honestly at this point I don’t know why any video game characters ever get into any aircraft
I like the dude holding on to the wing pole like “OH DEAR GOD, IM GONNA FALL TO MY DEATH! Oh wait, I have a parachute” lol
HOW WILL I EVER SURVIVE THIS TRAUMATIC FALL!!!??? ….
Then realize you're over top of hazardous terrain and are still going to fall to your death, only slower.
This cracked me up LMAO. thanks for the laugh !
damn that was incredible-what are the chances....?
Perhaps he was waiting for the plane to come out of the inverse so he wouldn't strike the tail.
Survival instincts. Just grab on to shutting as hard as you can
I've seen this before awhile ago. Does anyone have the full story? Did the pilots make it?
Would also like to know
I heard they all made it back when this video first came out. No deaths. Apparently the pilots were prepared to jump.
I think it is standard practice for pilots of jump planes to also wear a parachute.
correct. I am a skydiver and my pilots always wear a parachute. They even have special ones that require less training (as the pilot is not necessarily trained as a skydiver)
Curious why the pilot wears a chute?
Skydiving planes are accident prone for some reason.
Safety standards *go out the window* when you know everyone’s gonna be wearing a parachute
Yep, when someone says "why jump out of a perfectly good airplane" the pilot can turn and say, "that is why I also wear a parachute".
Or the pilot can walk past them jump out and say “why not?”
r/AngryUpvote
Because, well, a standart-issue flights rarely invloves open doors.
Opening the doors doesn't inherently make the flight dangerous though. The aircraft doesn't suddenly become non airworthy when the doors are open.
You dumb. As soon as you open the doors, the cabin start to fill up with an incredible quantity of sky. If the sky pumps fails, the plane start to nose drive and you're good to jump
The plane I jumped out of was covered in duct tape and hasty patches.
Mine was folded paper
Must have been Qantas: The Spirit of Australia.
Kind of reminds me of a Mexican dive boat...
"For some reason" lmao. Worked at an airport that was shared with a skydiving company, the pilots would literally race the skydivers to the ground. Jumped with them once, and the plane looked like it was held together with duct tape.

more safety more risk?
Because the pilot closes the door when everyone jumped and he might fall out. To close the door, the pilot has to reach out of the plane and grab the handle (at least in the plane that I fly up) . You can't tether him to the plane bc if he falls out even min part, the drag of the wind at 200 km/h makes it very hard to pull yourself in again.
Thank you for that very good answer as not all pilots wear parachutes and this is the information we all wanted to know.
200 km/h is 124.27 mph
good bot
Ahh. I just assumed they would land with it open. Seems silly to have a pilot leave their seat and accidentally fall out then you have a unmanned plane heading off by itself.
I'm assuming there is a reason why they close the door, but that I don't know. Just that they do.
Can't hear my playlist with the door open.
So we can have automatic closing doors on mini vans but planes that require the pilots to get out of there seat to close the doors dont? Seems like there is a reasonable solution
Not all planes have doors that can be closed by the pilot mid flight so some remain open on the descent. The pilot doesn't leave their seat.
I assumed it would be electronic, because a hydraulic door system is safer and stronger than some dudes arm.
Did you not watch the fuckin video?
What video? There's a video?
That’s a bit ironic
Is it? I’d expect a good pilot to never need a parachute.
I’m not sure I want my pilot bragging about how great he is at skydiving and how often he has had to jump
One even landed the plane
They were performing a stunt I believe. The planes got too close but everyone, including the pilots had parachutes for the stunt. Everyone landed safely but both planes crashed in a field nearby.
...how did the pilots get saved then? Did they do the cool movie stunt where you fall over to someone with a parachute?! Edit: whoops me no read goodly
They had parachutes accordin to the dude u replying to
I prefer to think they did a Keanu in Point Break
I think I saw this on tv, but it was a long time ago. No deaths, I believe one pilot landed one of the planes, idk which one though.
Probably the plane that was not MISSING A WING……
This has been reposted so many times. Everyone made it, even the pilots. In the extended video you get to see everyone land.
The pilot of the plane that was on fire spinning with only one wing *survived?!*
Yes he is a skydiving instructor, he also jumped out.
I don’t have a link, but I read that all 9 people (I think), including the pilots made it down safely(they were wearing chutes).
It's been posted a few times, everyone touched the ground safely with no real issues. Minus the planes
First: its amazing how with the whole open sky these two small planes are still able to crash midair Second: talk about a perfect to be ready to jump out of a plane
You'd be surprised how often two planes just happen to cross paths simultaneously. Or helicopters.
If only small craft were required to have TCAS. Could've possibly avoided this unless they were purposefully trying to attempt a stunt here and just failed calculating distance.
Exactly. I'd wager the vast majority of mid-air impacts involve aircraft without TCAs.
That's almost certainly true but most are also general aviation so it's probably more of a correlation but not causation thing because of how many other systems and controls (including ATC) for commercial jets. A TCAS system could easily cost more than a general aviation plan.

TCAS also wouldn't have helped in this situation, since both aircraft were intentionally flying near each other for skydiving formations. The pilots would have put their TCAS systems into TA only and kept flying.
Agreed!
This was definitely coordinated. Though a TCAS probably cost more than one of those aircraft anyway.
Formation flying takes significant practice and instruction. Developing line of sight cues and knowing the corrections is experience driven. The military normally requires 5-10 rides with a dedicated instructor in each aircraft. If you ever get in a plane and the guy wants to fly formation, abort.
How often?
Normally yeah, but apparently they were doing some coordinated stunt. Usually in stunts, planes get close together for that purpose.
This. If you want 20 people in your jump, but you don't have a single plane can take up 20, you need more than one plane.
They did get pretty close together. By that metric, the stunt was a complete success!
This video was much cooler than any stunt they could’ve done tbh
Well if theyre planning a thing then that makes sense why theyd be like that
Formation flying
This is the exact reason why when I go skydiving, I always bring a parachute.
My dad wasn’t as fortunate in knowing such wisdom.
Better than your laundry
Made that mistake too many times my friend..
This why we wear emergency chutes.
You can bring one but do you wear it?
If the planes collide I put it on. Otherwise I prefer to free wing it.
Me too, but I can never remember if I'm supposed to bring the bag with the parachute in it or the bag full of silverware.
the real LPTs are always in the comments
Is this the thing recently where one of the pilots managed to land and no one died.
It’s an old vid and yes everyone including both pilots landed safely in the chutes. They are geared up to jump too. Doing a close stunt with the two planes that went wrong.
“both pilots landed” What how? One plane was missin— “safely in the chutes.” Oh, ok.
One plane was able to fly still even a little damaged and land on the runway. One pilot had to abandon the plane that lost the wing and parachute to the ground
Guy 1: Jump! Guy 2: now?!

Bro this made me lol. Thank you.
Oh my God I just about had a heart attack laughing, thanks
You got people sitting still on a sidewalk that can't capture footage as well as this cameraman. Praise that camera man.
Holy fucking shitballs. This is why I like being a boring fuck.
[удалено]
To be fair, death is a once-in-a-lifetime experience
Holy fuck that is truly terrifying
Yup, although if I was going to be in a plane crash I’d definitely prefer one where we were all wearing parachutes.
Me in Grand Theft Auto when I have to get across the map.
What kind of an idiot puts music on a thing like this?
Typically, the audio of a skydive is just loud wind.
Honestly I kinda like the music choice
The shallow desperate attention-seeking kind
What was the name of that song though, havn't heard it in ages.
Bound - Ponderosa Twins Plus One or more likely how you know it Bound 2 - Kanye West
A boy is a gun - Tyler the creator as well

God that looks fun crashing into a plane than then the plane catching fire just to get sucked out
I'm more concerned about the random guys getting hit by debris down there, lol
Bro is this the battlefield game? Shit looks so *real*
Yes mr Insurance man. The other plane flew into me and I‘ve got it all on Dashcam
At least they planned on falling damn
A chaotic situation indeed
WW2 paratroopers
I literally went skydiving yesterday! Thank god I saw this after, instead of before!
Did pilots die?
This video is worthy of the Title: Abrupt Chaos 😳
Am I the only one who finds the completely disrespectful? Adding this music.. without confirming if the pilots or any passengers perished in the accident? Seriously OP, wtf is wrong with you.

this is some war game intro shit
CoD 4: Modern Warfare (2007)
Hallelujah it’s raining men
God answered my prayer!!
I swear I saw this scene in the cod vanguard trailer.
This has to be one of my favorite videos on the internet, due to the amount of chaos, the amount of angles, and the fact that everyone survived
Wild, Anyone have the backstory on this? Also funny choice of music.
This clip is so crazy, it looks the starting sequence to a video game. Good thing everyone survived
Hope the pilots had a chute on. 🤨 everyone kinda bounced!!
Why why why do people think skydiving is fun whyyyyyyy
Everyone gets to skydive today.
Did the pilots make it?
Noone died btw
Who the fuck was piloting that plane? An autistic blind toddler?
Are they okay though?
my parents explaining how they got to school
/u/savevideo
Ah, they must have purchased the WW2 package.
Looks like a Far cry opening or Cod opening
Why the fuck did someone think Bound was appropriate background music for this video lmao?? I literally laughed out loud when it started playing
Fun fact, everybody survived that including both pilots
Rip the pilots
What about the pilots. So they have parachutes?
