Quagmirian 40 #1 June 18, 2013 I don't know if this has already been posted, but it's only been up for two weeks. Video Playlist It's a nice video series that covers all malfunction scenarios. I don't know if this is a new series that's just been made or whether it's been around for ages and just uploaded recently. Maybe someone form Oz can help us out?

Fuzzwah 0 #3 June 18, 2013 It seems they've busted the playlist by removing one of the videos. I recreated a working playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTYsjH7DSVA&list=PLk7oiO9xalU3lX8WQwC8NlS-4-ogWOEAR Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Divalent 89 #5 June 19, 2013 FuzzwahIt seems they've busted the playlist by removing one of the videos. I had no problems viewing all in the original playlist. (perhaps they fixed it after you made your comment). This really should be cross posted in the Instructor's forum (with a more descriptive title). IMO, getting some of those videos of actual mals took some real balls! I mean, who would actually volunteer to be the subject demonstrating how to fire your reserve into an actual horseshoe and into a PCIT? They do teach the "cutaway-then-reserve" method for all mals (even hard/no pulls on the main), and the terminology/checklist they use for assessing your main after opening differs from what I was exposed to in the US. But these are great quality examples of the situations students need to be familar with and know how to handle. (And which more experienced jumper need to review from time to time). Most excellent.

nigel99 143 #6 June 21, 2013 Peter, never underestimate the craziness of people who do CRW. Read up on Michael he's an awesome jumper - was lucky enough to do a canopy course with him last month. It's a brilliant video series.Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, who would actually volunteer to be the subject demonstrating how to fire your reserve into an actual horseshoe and into a PCIT? What about waiting until 1,000 feet to pull, knowing that the reserve was also coming out? "So many fatalities and injuries are caused by decisions jumpers make before even getting into the aircraft.

JeffCa 0 #11 June 23, 2013 nigel99****** IMO, getting some of those videos of actual mals took some real balls! I mean, who would actually volunteer to be the subject demonstrating how to fire your reserve into an actual horseshoe and into a PCIT? What about waiting until 1,000 feet to pull, knowing that the reserve was also coming out? Which video? I missed that, but can't believe that was done. Are you sure an offset wasn't entered on the aad to simulate the situation? It's in the 7th video, two times, but seems it's the same event doubled-up. Check it out at 0:45. What do you think of the altitude from looking at the ground? Looks low, but I'm not sure if it's 1,000 feet low. I guess a simulation makes more sense, but they've done a lot of crazy shit in those videos.

Squeak 17 #12 June 24, 2013 ***I guess a simulation makes more sense, but they've done a lot of crazy shit in those videos. There's no "crazy shit" in any of the videos. the guy in the vids, is a professional skydiver HP canopy coach and test pilot. As well as being arguably the best all round skydiver in the country. Ill pretty much guarantee everything in those vids was very well planned in advance. Michael is nobodies fool You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There aren't many skydiving bodies that provide this quality of service to their members and the skydiving community at large.Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.

Eddles 0 #16 June 30, 2013 Sweet videos - they're getting downloaded! I'm hoping someone will have subtitles or transcription for those videos somewhere, I'm deaf and don't understand the dialogue. Also would be useful for other deaf skydivers, present & future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AdD 1 #18 June 30, 2013 Did anyone else think it a bit strange that AFP isn't recommending you throw or otherwise attempt to clear the PC in a horseshoe? Would be interested in hearing from AFP - AFF guys on this. Is the idea that you don't want to teach any variation in the EPs in the FJC?Life is ez On the dz Every jumper's dream 3 rigs and an airstream Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good idea, unfortunately they have to be enabled by the owner of the video - which for these videos, doesn't seem to have been done. Also, if you read the captions on other videos, you'll quickly figure out that they're based on voice recognition and is usually very inaccurate with occasionally laughable results. If you chance on those rare videos with perfect captions, chances are that it was transcribed by a human operator. Good try, though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strife 0 #21 July 2, 2013 yeah worth a shot I should have turned off the sound and see if it made sense. I think all they have to do is transcribe it and add a txt file for you tube might be worth an email to the producer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
