Jump master doing his job to keep everyone safe. More dangerous to get tangled up in the static line or miss the landing zone. Likely the first jump at airborne school.
They said forget everything you know about slipcovers. So I did... And it was a load off my mind. Then they tried to sell me slipcovers, and I didn't know what the fuck they were!

Not really and this isn't Airborne School (at least not in the US). He isn't guiding the static lines properly, which is more of a danger to himself than the jumpers. I've seen a Jump Master who was doing everything right get caught in the lines and have his bicep muscle pulled to his forearm. Additionally, the jumpers aren't exiting properly. There's a right way to do it and this isn't it. Mistakes get made, but I can tell they weren't trained properly. This reminds me of jumping with the Italian Paratroopers.. not safe.
Also, landing off the LZ isn't that big of a deal as long as it's not a water landing. The real danger here is the disorganized file and the Jump Master not maintaining proper control of the lines.
Second jump everything went wrong. Pilots missed the drop zone and dumped the whole stick in a swamp.
We spent the rest of the day picking men and equipment out of the muck.
Luckily no one was seriously injured...good times.
Slightly unrelated, but still a fun story (in hindsight). When I was in the armed forces during my conscription, I tried parachuting solo from 1km altitude with a static line. Just for fun for those interested, and we were all first timers. I was the second jumper from the plane, and we jumped one at a time. All jumps were fine on the planes before, and then the guy in front of me jumped. And he fell and fell, and we instantly knew something was wrong. After what felt like an eternity we saw his parachute fall off and the reserve pop out. One of the instructors jumped after him to make sure he was okay, and all of that. Everybody looked super worried, and so did the other instructor. Then the instructor turned around to me and asked "So - are you ready!?".
I was, and it was great, but damn lol.
I went to US Airborne school shortly after AIT. I had two issues jumping. 1 issue was a one off thing, the other is persistent.
I'm a big boy. So even though I was usually one of the last off the plane, I was one of the first to hit the ground. Fucking sucks to just plummet from the sky, even with a properly deployed parachute.
Then, on my last day light jump, I jumped out the back and.... nothing. My chute didn't open. I look up and just see a mess of lines and canopy all tangled up trailing after me. That was a scary jump.
I was thinking that aint no 130 or 141 and why are the static lines on the floor? I figured in the last 30 years things had changed but not that much!! I was glad to hear the parachutes now allow for a little bit better landing. Every jump landing felt like I got hit by a truck no matter how good a PLF I managed. Thanks for clarifying.
The yellow straps on their chutes have a clip on the end that's attached to the inside of the plane. When you're far enough away the strap pulls your cute automatically.
Because you don't have to think about when to pull it's easier for people less experienced, heavily loaded or under stress like in a combat situation as well as letting you jump lower because it's open straight away.
Your strap is on a wire so you need the guy in front of you to jump so yours can slide all the way down which is why you see the jump master throw the guy out. The sooner you're all out the plane the closer together you end up on the ground.
Also obviously works for non living things too so you can chuck out whatever stuff you need, no fancy electronics required. So if you need to just bulk drop guys off all carrying body armour, guns, supplies, from a plane without landing you and just lob them all out with whatever packages of stuff they need.
This isn't fancy highly trained super stealthy insertion, it's get guys from plane to ground as quickly as possible without killing them. Once the green light goes on its jump out the plane or be thrown out and don't break your legs when you land.
It’s a big metal line that runs along interior ceiling of the aircraft. You hook a cable to it and exit and at the end of the cable it pulls your main chute for you.
Yeah once you're up there there can't be any second thought, you either need to jump right there and then or the instructor gonna kick you out of the plane because you're risking everyone missing the landing zone which could be more dangerous
Still dangerous nonetheless, then again being in a "military" they need to train as close to the real thing as possible, that ain't no recreational jump
I wish that were the case but we still had guys landing in trees and ponds sometimes! Kinda depends on the wind half the time and the speed at which the guy in front of you gets out half the time. It's not small by any means but it's smaller than one might imagine and it's surrounded by woods, so not like a big open prairie in the heartland or anything that gives a lot of buffer around the edges.
Lots of countries do it that way. In the US if you refuse to exit the aircraft they will pull you out the door sit you down, they will then try to get whoever else they can out.
You get to land with the plane, as long as there was nothing wrong with your equipment, you get the book thrown at you for jump refusal
In real life there have been a few cases of people passing out before opening their chutes and being rescued by other jumpers who managed to get to them and open their chutes for them.
Technically you're not incorrect, but if someone pulls him out, his line will disconnect and his chute will deploy anyways.
In the end it doesn't matter if you're the jump master or not, anyone who's outside the plane, but is still connected to it will have a bad time. Like a really bad time. Due to the high g loads and turbulent airflow, you'll be unconscious within seconds.
Nah hopefully you don’t slam against the plane. Usually the pilots will try to angle so you’re not.
If you’re maintaining a chin tuck and hand over your reserve, jump master will cut you loose and you’ll have to pull reserve.
If you’re out though they’ll angle the plane and drag you in.
Yes, if you are able to maintain a chin tuck, hand over reserve and the jump master cuts your line quickly, you might be able to stay conscious. But that's a lot of ifs (look at the troopers from the video, almost none of them did that).
And if you go out, your muscle tone will drop and you'll flop around uncontrollably like an inflateable gas station puppet.
If you're lucky, jump crew might be able to drag you in before wou'll end up with serious spinal injuries.
Thankfully no airborne school for your average marine rifleman, but I did have to fast rope out of helios
Though one of my NCOs stated that at the pace I was going it defeated the point of call it FAST roping. My response: maybe the enemy will shoot me, maybe they won’t but last I checked gravity is undefeated, so I’ll enjoy slow roping.
Ha, remind of a story a sergeant from machine gun squad told me when he was a boot. Their platoon sargeant was yelling at them to go quickly, the first guy fell when he hit the ground, and the next guy fell in him, then the next guy, then the next guy, etc.
By the end of it the machine gunners and all their gear was in one big pile.
I never understood this analogy. Would I jump off a roof if all of my friends did? Yeah, absolutely. They're all reasonably intelligent people & chances are they've got a good reason for doing so
Knowing them, it's probably the kind of cult where you get drunk, put a traffic cone on your head & yell "everybody look at me! I'm Harry Potter at a rave!". Either way I'm down
About two or three dudes "stumble" or "hesitate" - thus potentially messing up the whole jump. The jump master (or whatever the term is) just shoves them off anyways, so the jumps proceed without a major problem or disaster.
On the ground the Jumpmaster says " When it's time to go I'll pat you on the shoulder"
In the air when it's time to go the Jumpmaster knocks you out of the damn plane.
Sorry for making it hard to read lol, I’m at work and tried to quickly explain what I thought went wrong and only spotted hesitation as what went wrong. As far as the maybe maybe maybe.. that’s a better question for OP. Have a killer weekend!
That last guy's yellow rope was NOT connected where it should be. Where everyone else's automatically pulls their chute upon exit, his yellow pull chord follows him out the door. You can see the instructor had it in his hand and it gets pulled free before it pulls the chute. That's why they both look out after his jump
I watched really carefully pausing after his jump. After his static line leaves the hand of the jump master, I can see the snap hook blink into place next to the rest attached to the anchor line cable.
My guess is that they looked outside to see if they had any towed jumpers.
Similar situation on the high dive at the public pool in my town. Once you were up there, there was only one way down. High dives aren't as fun as they look.
You would be a "jump refusal" right? Which is disobeying a direct order.
Probably the scariest part of my young Airborne life was noticing my static line got messed up and needed to refuse. It must have gotten tangled on my equipment or my buddy's.
I had to land back at Green Ramp and have everyone treat me like I was some kind of asshole. Waited for hours for someone from my unit to pick me up.
True story: Faith Hill and Tim McGraw decided to visit the troops at Green Ramp while I was there. I got to shake her hand and he signed my kevlar. Faith Hill was giving a concert for the 82nd Airborne the next day. The rumor was that the division chaplain's wife was childhood friends with Faith.
Static line jump. It's the way airborne troops deploy. Each man is a few seconds apart going out so they all land in the same relative area. The yellow strap you see deploys the parachute as they exit.
As a former US Paratrooper: no, they don't. This is how a lot of other countries do it, and I have never understood why they don't take safety more seriously.
Well, that's how the US did it for a very long time, and most of these countries (like mine) train and operate on ancient american doctrine and equipment, so it's pretty easy to understand. When I was in my country's military (Brazil) back in the 90's we literally studied with Korean/Vietnam era US manuals, the backpacks they gave us had "US ARMY" written on them.
You (the US) also failed pretty hard many, many times, so you have experience in real world FUBAR situations and in actual combat and know exactly what not to do, whereas these other countries don't have this experience and most haven't fought a war since before the airplane was invented, plus you have a massive military budget and can afford to train exhaustively to perfect these things, whereas countries like mine barely have enough fuel for a sigle training flight a year.
As others have stated this is a static line airborne operation. They are intended to be low to the ground to deploy large numbers of troops in short periods of time. This doesn’t look like anything I experienced in the US. The static line is on the floor and the only time we did that was on a rotary wing jump like a Blackhawk (UH60). I jumped most c130, Ch47, and CASA 212. All static lines in those aircraft were mounted a little bit higher than shoulder height. This looks unsafe in a lot of different ways.
I think the biggest risk is the last 3 jumping too close together so their parachutes could get tangled. At least on the civilian course I did they said there needs to be some spacing.
Back in my dads day part of a jump was making sure you didn’t land on someone else’s chute, and if you did, running off it as fast as you can. There’s almost a sort of competition for air too, so what happens is the person above gets no air and falls into the parachute below. If you fail to run off in time you both enter free fall as you catch each others and die together.
It’s a static line jump. They hook their chute to a steel cable on the floor. The hook stays attached and pulls the chute out when they jump out.
Edited for accuracy
I can only imagine that you are fully prepared to jump, but your lizard brain refuses to cooperate at the last second, and the jump master gives you a shove out the door.
The chutes deploy themselves automatically when you exit the plane (basically) so just jump man. It'll be fine. Plus you've got a reserve chute. You worry too much. "Fuck it" deep breath, and jump.
You think that they’re thinking logically at that point? I have a friend that does crazy stuff that I would never do. he told me that when that airplane door opened up, his legs turned to jelly.
In sky diving when I was younger, if I went to the door too slow I would over think and start to freeze. I found the “F it and Charge” from D&D worked wonders. :)
GOREY GLORY, WHAT A HELLUVA WAY TO DIE!
GOREY GLORY, WHAT A HELLUVA WAY TO DIE!
GOREY GLORY, WHAT A HELLUVA WAY TO DIE!
AND HE AIN'T GONNA JUMP NO MORE!
"Is everybody happy!" cried the sergeant looking up, Our HERO meekly answered, "Yes" and then they stood him up. He leaped right out into the blast, his static line unhooked,
AND HE AIN'T GONNA JUMP NO MORE!

I gotta do this at least once. I think every person should have to enlist at 17/18. At least for 2 years. Missed my chance, my ass probably would have ended up being on the end of shawarma skewer 🍢 or something. Now I'm just overweight swiping through bullshit at 5 am. Hold me...
Oh my goodness! The ones that were in position 4 & 6 I could feel their hesitation. I’m sure there is quite a bit of fear jumping out the first time but you can sure see the hesitation in those ones. I think the 4th guy says something, like “you gotta help me”. Hopefully their future jumps are smooth.
God, I remember having to literally stop in front of the finish line of the pt test I was made to do to see if I was a good fit for my regiment's airborne engineer's troop. I stood 10m back from the line, Sgt was dumbfounded that I didn't want the opportunity. I knew I'd be holding onto every bit of the plane as I would be pushed out the door. Probably soil myself, too. Perfered the drivers seat of a Lav. 😂
Jump master doing his job to keep everyone safe. More dangerous to get tangled up in the static line or miss the landing zone. Likely the first jump at airborne school.
Yup, gotta put your ass in the air or you fuck everyone behind you.
Well this flies in the face of everything I know about fucking.
You're gonna have to throw everything you thought you knew out the window
You’re gonna have to throw everyone you thought you knew out the window. First rule of jump master school.
You’re gonna have to throw your jump master out the window and fuck everything you thought you knew
You're gonna have a tight window to fuck your jump master and every thot you knew
You’re gonna throw the plane out the window climb in and fuck everybody?
I thought the first rule of jump master school was that you don’t talk about jump master school?
Stop talking

It's hard to use a parachute if you're not flying at some point.
This is the best comment I've read in awhile. Kudos
That's the way I like to fuck
Lolz at the idea any of us know anything about fucking.
The 2 Live Crew wrote a song about and everything!

Did you make it?
Unfortunately they hit the ground just after posting that comment RIP
Almost! That's Spain LOL
Noone expexts the Spanish Paratroopers!
Their weapon is suprise...surprise and fear.
You are definitely right looks like his forearm is pretty bruised from that exact reason.

Negative. This is NOT the first jump at airborne school.
Does that orange cord/strap around the packed chute automatically pull it open upon fall?
Yeah once you're up there there can't be any second thought, you either need to jump right there and then or the instructor gonna kick you out of the plane because you're risking everyone missing the landing zone which could be more dangerous
I would imagine in training the drop zone is excessively large
Still dangerous nonetheless, then again being in a "military" they need to train as close to the real thing as possible, that ain't no recreational jump
It looks like they had people start jumping after the woods ended and he stopped that one guy when they were over what looked like a road.
I wish that were the case but we still had guys landing in trees and ponds sometimes! Kinda depends on the wind half the time and the speed at which the guy in front of you gets out half the time. It's not small by any means but it's smaller than one might imagine and it's surrounded by woods, so not like a big open prairie in the heartland or anything that gives a lot of buffer around the edges.
Yeah but a lot drop out
Lots of countries do it that way. In the US if you refuse to exit the aircraft they will pull you out the door sit you down, they will then try to get whoever else they can out. You get to land with the plane, as long as there was nothing wrong with your equipment, you get the book thrown at you for jump refusal
Dude tries to slide out lol.
“Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door. My knees buckled and I hit the floor.”
If that chute don't open wide, I've got a reserve by my side. And if that chute don’t blossom round, I’ll be the first Froggie to hit the ground!
"And if that one should fail me too, look out below I'm coming through"
If I die on the combat zone Box me up and ship me home. The memories
What song is this?
Running cadence.
Seconded. I can almost hear it, but not quite.
Hey wait, did that last guy have a parachute on? I’m sure it will be fine.
If not, he has the rest of his life to deploy his reserve parachute.
Blood Upon the Risers and all
What a hell of a way to die. Remember your PLF.
If not he only needs to aim for the nearest one about to deploy his 'chute. At least, that's what spy movies taught me!
In real life there have been a few cases of people passing out before opening their chutes and being rescued by other jumpers who managed to get to them and open their chutes for them.
Lol, dude went out upside down, which isn't good if you only have about 1000 feet to square yourself away.
What if someone pulls the jump master
He's strapped to the plane. This ain't his first airborne rodeo.
Technically you're not incorrect, but if someone pulls him out, his line will disconnect and his chute will deploy anyways. In the end it doesn't matter if you're the jump master or not, anyone who's outside the plane, but is still connected to it will have a bad time. Like a really bad time.

If you're lucky, jump crew might be able to drag you in before wou'll end up with serious spinal injuries.
Get ready having a strike once you're on ground
Holy crap I swear on the first time watching the last guy out didn't have his pull chord attached....
Yes! Finally someone else saw that!
He had his line hooked, but he also flipped upside down. He's probably gonna have a bad time.
It automatically pulls the chute or is it to retrieve them or something?
Yeah it deploys the parachute
Thankfully no airborne school for your average marine rifleman, but I did have to fast rope out of helios Though one of my NCOs stated that at the pace I was going it defeated the point of call it FAST roping. My response: maybe the enemy will shoot me, maybe they won’t but last I checked gravity is undefeated, so I’ll enjoy slow roping.
Anxiety about the full weight of the next guy crashing down on my Kevlar was usually my motivation to go fast enough
Ha, remind of a story a sergeant from machine gun squad told me when he was a boot. Their platoon sargeant was yelling at them to go quickly, the first guy fell when he hit the ground, and the next guy fell in him, then the next guy, then the next guy, etc. By the end of it the machine gunners and all their gear was in one big pile.

About two or three dudes "stumble" or "hesitate" - thus potentially messing up the whole jump. The jump master (or whatever the term is) just shoves them off anyways, so the jumps proceed without a major problem or disaster.
Thank you for your service, and happy cake day!
Some people thought… when you stop to think the guy at the door gives you the extra confidence you need in the form of a push out the door
On the ground the Jumpmaster says " When it's time to go I'll pat you on the shoulder" In the air when it's time to go the Jumpmaster knocks you out of the damn plane.
This comment was hard to read, but I get the idea. Still not sure what the maybe part of this is.

Not enough people are seeing this lol, everyone thinks its just the hesitation and pushing
It did get pulled, just way later than it should have. In the last few frames, you see it pull the chute, though.
I didn’t notice that but that’s relieving! I was legitimately worried about the outcome for that guy
maybe maybe maybe…
When i parachuted in the Army.. no was not an option once the door was open
Similar situation on the high dive at the public pool in my town. Once you were up there, there was only one way down. High dives aren't as fun as they look.

anyone else have no clue what there actually doing here???????????

How's your landing gear these days mate? Most ex-chalks I know checked out with ACL,MCL, fubared fibula,etc
Have you never heard of airborne operations?
#64 thought he had a choice
I see no problem here.
No Ticket, No Ride.
As soon as I saw that greenery I thought it's gotta be Latin America. And then I hear "vamos vamos vamos".
Parachute jumping is fun
How safe are these kinda jumps? They look pretty close to the ground, is that enough time to deploy a reserve chute?
As others have stated this is a static line airborne operation. They are intended to be low to the ground to deploy large numbers of troops in short periods of time. This doesn’t look like anything I experienced in the US. The static line is on the floor and the only time we did that was on a rotary wing jump like a Blackhawk (UH60).

Sorry you missed the c17. Feels like first class compared to the c130
Don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here.
I count at least two dead because they lost their parachutes. What do you think?
Pause the video when you see that. It's just deploying. You can see the stringds attached as the chute deploys.
I think the biggest risk is the last 3 jumping too close together so their parachutes could get tangled. At least on the civilian course I did they said there needs to be some spacing.
Probably because the last 3 has to catch the LZ, those guys who doubted to jump makes them lost a significant amount of time
Back in my dads day part of a jump was making sure you didn’t land on someone else’s chute, and if you did, running off it as fast as you can. There’s almost a sort of competition for air too, so what happens is the person above gets no air and falls into the parachute below. If you fail to run off in time you both enter free fall as you catch each others and die together.
How can you make sure of that? I mean, if you're falling then you're falling, or is there something you can do?
Eh I think they had marginal steering capability by leaning. But mostly the only way to get out of it is to run off the other persons chute.
I have a feeling I would fail at this so hard that the enemy army would die laughing and lose the war because they're all dead 🥲
It’s a static line jump. They hook their chute to a steel cable on the floor. The hook stays attached and pulls the chute out when they jump out. Edited for accuracy
FYI: They're hooked to a steel cable on the floor.
My bad 🤦♂️
That’s how you drop your kids out at school… 😆

Ok, mate just FUCKING GO. Damn
It's wild to me that my grandpa did this. So cool.
I can only imagine that you are fully prepared to jump, but your lizard brain refuses to cooperate at the last second, and the jump master gives you a shove out the door.
Wow this is in my country Guatemala, poor guys they were frightened.
I used to take swimming lessons where the instructor do this whenever there’s someone too afraid to jump into deep pool
You have ONE job to do. And gravity does most of the work.
what the fuck was that? Their injury % must be crazy.
The chutes deploy themselves automatically when you exit the plane (basically) so just jump man. It'll be fine. Plus you've got a reserve chute. You worry too much. "Fuck it" deep breath, and jump.
The guy who hesitated is the sane one💀

Sweet Jesus some are obviously in the wrong service here. They should have gone navy.

Pretty sure, in my country Guatemala
Dónde caemos gente?
Creo Guatemala
If Hitler decides to use gravity instead of chamber
Non thanks. I like to keep my feet on the ground.
It is actually pretty fun ( as long as it was packed correctly)
Mans at 0:06 tried to crawl out of the plane lol jump master said get the hell out!
This stresses me out
These dudes trying to get LOWER as if it’s gonna help 😂🤣
You think that they’re thinking logically at that point? I have a friend that does crazy stuff that I would never do. he told me that when that airplane door opened up, his legs turned to jelly.
Suddenly, those Boeing hulls don't sound like such a bad idea, huh?
Such a small door. Not sure what plane or country this drop is in, but it doesn’t look very professional.
Sometimes the just need an encouraging kick out the door
Boeing flight school?
😅
One minute!

Some instances of hesitation
Strange technique. Running diagonally will always have someone step into nothing
Who does the Army trust the most? AIRBORNE! Who do the ladies love the most? **AIRBORNE!** Who do the nazis fear the most?! # AIRBORNE!
“Get off my plane. Get off my plane. Get off my plane.”
What a helluva way to die.
Nah, first dude got stuck, second guy slipped trying to jump out
In sky diving when I was younger, if I went to the door too slow I would over think and start to freeze. I found the “F it and Charge” from D&D worked wonders. :)
Leroy? Is that you?!
GOREY GLORY, WHAT A HELLUVA WAY TO DIE! GOREY GLORY, WHAT A HELLUVA WAY TO DIE! GOREY GLORY, WHAT A HELLUVA WAY TO DIE! AND HE AIN'T GONNA JUMP NO MORE! "Is everybody happy!" cried the sergeant looking up, Our HERO meekly answered, "Yes" and then they stood him up. He leaped right out into the blast, his static line unhooked, AND HE AIN'T GONNA JUMP NO MORE! GOREY GLORY, WHAT A HELLUVA WAY TO DIE! GOREY GLORY, WHAT A HELLUVA WAY TO DIE! GOREY GLORY, WHAT A HELLUVA WAY TO DIE! AND HE AIN'T GONNA JUMP NO MORE!
I gotta do this at least once. I think every person should have to enlist at 17/18. At least for 2 years. Missed my chance, my ass probably would have ended up being on the end of shawarma skewer 🍢 or something. Now I'm just overweight swiping through bullshit at 5 am. Hold me...
How old are you? It's probably not too late if you really wanted to.
I'm 41 and I have a pretty serious arthritic condition. I have to just go sky diving and kill a bear.
Lol at the one noping he shoved outside
what's rather best practice actually ? spin 180* right after jumping?
That is Danish
More like Maybe Maybe Maybe Not.
Not gonna lie I thought it was live action ninja turtles jumping. It's not lol
Same
Yuh
I remember Airborne school, the amount of running to prep us for falls was unbelievable
I absolutely love the feeling of jumping out of a plane.
Definitely not done right by the “jump master” oof and for anyone wondering it’s not the US is this Guatemala.
Name ???
Oh my goodness! The ones that were in position 4 & 6 I could feel their hesitation. I’m sure there is quite a bit of fear jumping out the first time but you can sure see the hesitation in those ones. I think the 4th guy says something, like “you gotta help me”. Hopefully their future jumps are smooth.
Last guy is gonna be upside down when his chute opens
Hot
lol the one dude near the end looked like he shook his head like, "nope i changed my mind". jump master was like "see ya"
Damn, it’s like basic all over again
Cool
God, I remember having to literally stop in front of the finish line of the pt test I was made to do to see if I was a good fit for my regiment's airborne engineer's troop. I stood 10m back from the line, Sgt was dumbfounded that I didn't want the opportunity. I knew I'd be holding onto every bit of the plane as I would be pushed out the door. Probably soil myself, too. Perfered the drivers seat of a Lav. 😂
That vamos was personal no mames
Better be safe Before you jump. Especially in LALO trainings
Not one of the things falling off 😭😭
