I had 2 main parachute malfunctions during my time. You never experienced a DZ with lack of safety and control procedyres? That DZ the accident occured have been troubled with accidents as long I have known about it, and also personal conflicts occured. Same goes for the bungy jumping business here In Thailand, the land of safey first. I have to say that most skydiving and base accidents I have seen or known, there have been mostly personal mistakes done, but some of the personal mistakes could have been avoided with better rutines and training, as the DZ as well routines and equipment standards as well maintenance. Equipment failure happens, and one rigger packed my reserve with a thicker loop that would never let the container open! Pilot chute errors, bridle mailfunction, risers, 3 rings, and so much more you should know about. No cypress fired on this one? Low speed impact?

sweatalot Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I don't know how I would feel and react when the parachute doesn't open. But I like to think that after the first shock I would decide to enjoy the last seconds of my life in free fall, (nothing can be done anyway) wondering what the experience would be when it's over. RIP to that poor guy. We will never know what his experience was. Utterly panic? frozen and numb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GroveHillWanderer Posted February 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2020 56 minutes ago, CharlieH said: Conflicting information, "freefall" is no deployment, if his parachute wasnt open he cannot "try to land" If you have used Thai news sources Yinn please include links. There is a link to the original Thai language report in Naewna, in the OP. According to the English version as rendered by Google Translate, the man was found unconscious, with a broken leg and blood coming from his mouth and nose, but only died later in hospital. So that doesn't sound like he was in total free fall or he surely wouldn't have survived the impact? Perhaps a partial deployment or tangled chute? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SomchaiCNX Posted February 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Yet again a lot of wrong information in the article and replies. Chute was deployed (open) Low turn (hook turn) causing a hard contact with the ground. The accident was filmed by another skydiver The previous dead was somebody who got a hart attack during his skydive. As somebody mentioned 99.9% is human error. I activated my account again just to reply. My last jump was 28 years ago. R.I.P.

Sorry for your loss Gary79 For those who is interested, a brief statistic about what can go wrong and how to prevent some of those incidents. It is an absolutely incorrect statement claiming that 99,9 % off all deaths in skydiving is pilot error. Yes other humans could be involved, but also equipment failure can and will happen. Myself 20 years skydiving 18 base jumping total numbers of jumps 3500 +- stopped counting people I was friends with, god friends, people I knew and had met after 60 leathal accidents.

They have these things these days you know. It was a low turn accident, wich in most case is a high speed impact under a perfect canopy. This case pilot error. Sometimes low turns can be to avoid collishion with other pilots, or infrastructure you see you will hit in last minute. But overall hookturns is exiting, but dangerous. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
