How NOT to exit a helicopter.

[iluvtofly 0]

So I had an interesting helicopter jump on Saturday. When watching the video you'll see a little hook on the skid to my left...yeah, my chest strap go caught on one of those.

I wanna see YOU do a one handed pull up. But it is a good thing I've started going to the gym again.

Did the one who gave you a hand, actually help? Or did you release it pretty much yourself?

He was able to pull me up just enough for me to get unhooked. I don't think I could have done it without his help.

It's awesome when a person is trying so very hard to look cool by doing something and it ends up on YouTube for our amusement.

I tried the same exit on my 3rd helicopter jump - my friend titled that video "How to fail a pull up" ... I couldn't hold myself and fell right off .

I also see it as a good lesson. You need to be VERY aware of little things like that. I can tell you for sure no one else at the boogie made the same mistake as me. They all knew to look for that thing before they slid down to hang.

I am just a big fan of the "Crucifixion Exit" arms out to the side at 90 degrees.. looking up at the blades and fall back doing a few layout flips... it looks and feels cool

You're SO religious.


I call that the Nestea Plunge.

My reality and yours are quite different.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

That exit is the shizzle off a CASA or Skyvan! Just try to not flinch to catch yourself.

Two words for that helo pilot. DUCT TAPE! Cover all those snag points. Video looked purty cool! You hauled ass once you got loose!

Nope. Not the pilot's fault in any way.

Skydiver makes a non-standard exit and it's ALL the skydiver's responsibility.

Sex with sith is like sex with a stripper. A lot of flashing lights and waving of glowing sabers, but in the end you end up with something dark and wrinkely.

I said nothing of "fault" Before helo jumps at the DZ I used to fly at, we took care of snag points. Kinda a standard thing. But I digress.
