I saw this on a National Geogrpahic show, Man Vs. I think its called.

NG said that neither of the people on the video were hurt.

That is all I know, prolly not what you were looking for, but its a start...

already good news. I'm not looking for carnage if it's what you're thinking.

Very educational video though.

you're rigth, that's a pretty scary video. It almost made my stomach turn. It clearly shows how important it is to be aware of your own skills, and be honest to your self. Othervise you can easely kill your jumping collegues and your self....

Glad to hear that nobody was hurt og killed.

Wow that poor guy never saw it coming either.

Well.......Unfortunately thats what happens when a group of new freeflyers decide to jump together.

Thats an example of why folks need coaching and to stick to 2 ways until they have enough control to jump with more people.

Ouch,,,,

im pretty sure that he saw the person zooming at him at 39,40 sec mark..
you can see him turning around at 38.5 sec mark and by 39 sec his face is in someone else's stomach...

Look...ah just my 2 cents here:

The sitflyer was pushed and may have been backsliding just a little bit. the head downer side-slid and then turn at the sitflyer and increased forward speed instead of slowing it.

I would argue that the hit, while hard, was not as bad as it appears. That is a highly keystoned fish-eye lens. So when your close things are magnified and things far away are demagnified. This will account for some part of the quick approach on the head-downers part.

Regardless. I don't know about the camera flyer, but the other guys have little business on a four way.

Levels were off.
Eye contact was off.
Apparently no base is set.
Those head-downers should not be head-downing with others.
Glad the receiver (sitflyer) had a face mask on.

It looks like the sitflyer caught the guys arm. This probably obsorbed a lot of the collision. A few feet higher and to the right, this could have cause a concussion in mid air.

I had a concussion in mid-air once. Smacked right in the jaw and got stiches. Please, you don't want to be hit that hard in freefall. It completely disorients you. Waking up and seeing yourself in freefall all-of-a-sudden is uncool.

Either trust the people you are flying with or have an eye on them during the jump is probably the best rule. Coaching at that level...yes, someone said that I think. Probably a good thought too.

Just trying to help along with avoiding this kind of thing.

A common problem is letting a four way become two 2-ways.
