Funny Ryan Reynolds on Skydiving Show

This happened to me, actually. 8 of us went skydiving and I was the last to jump from the first group of 4. It was my tandem instructor's first tandem jump and the chute did not open for us. When he pulled the release it got caught around my ankle and we could not shake it free. The point in time came where we had to pull the 2nd shoot anyway and it ended up becoming tangled with the first.The two chutes were circling around and slowing our fall, but not all that much. When we were about 20 ft from the ground the chutes cut out completely and we free fell to the ground.

Lucky for my instructor my face and arm were there to break his fall.. When we hit the ground my forearm basically snapped in half and was hanging limply. I was 100% knocked out, concust, bruised ribs, shattered cheek bone, bruised knees, and broken arm. I think one of my friends still has the video, but I don't even want to see it again.The only real long term injury is to my arm, which will only be about 85-90% functionality for the rest of my life. I do have a sweet plate in there though.

My guess was it wasn't his first tandem jump... it was his first tandem jump with a new person. I can't imagine it was the instructors first ever tandem jump.They make you do tandem jumps before they let you jump solo. To become an instructor you have to do a lot of skydiving.My understanding is that the old AFF program (where you're allowed to start directly into AFF) has been replaced by tandem progression as of a few years ago.That's the most off-putting thing ever. Please tell me that is rare because I would like to skydive one day.Yeah im pretty sure most surgical metal these days are an alloy that dont set off metal detectors. I was just giving op a hard time.

Same! I'm starting to think about it and I will be out of town for the first time in the studio than anyone else if you are out of the way to me I couldn't make it far lol I know you are looking for a spot in the morning.Honestly all i remember is the guy shuffling around, telling me there is an issue with the chute, having strings caught around my leg, and then the two chutes twisting around eachother until we free fell and hit the ground. we skydove at TAFT in Bakersfield and had to go to the kern county hospital. crazy thing was the people who were running the show were mostly pornstars... this was one of the guys i think his name is alexandre voisbert, but i am not sure. he is in a bunch of skinemax flicks .. he went by the name of voodoo at the skydive place. his wife was also there and she is far more famous, but i don't remember her name .. this happened in 2007 or so while we were in college.

I've had a few malfunctions skydiving two of which I had to use my reserve parachute (the other one is hard to explain but knocked the fuck out of me). It was actually really calm, training just took over and I initiated "emergency procedures."I'm curious.. when you have a malfunction, do you try hitting chute/backpack behind you a few times in an attempt to knock it out? I have no idea how they are packed, but in my head it makes sense. Most malfunctions aren't a failure to release from the pack, but a failure to deploy. The chute pretty much is in a knot, but is out of the backpack. Hitting the pack wouldn't do much.
