Skydiver Knocked Unconscious By Accidental Blow to the Head Is Rescued in Freefall by Fellow Divers... The Drama All Captured by Helmet-Camera
— Ace

Sometimes I ask, "Is this something?"

I'm not asking that now. This is something.

One diver, named James Lee, was knocked out by a collision with another diver. His chute had to be deployed by hand (pull the ripcord, you know), so with Lee unconscious, that chute wasn't a life-saver. It was just deadweight on his back.

The other divers realize something's gone very wrong and free-glide over to him, to pull his ripcord themselves.

The video isn't really more than you might imagine-- the other divers glide over to him to pull his parachute. Yet, still compelling, as they hand-signal each other to coordinate the rescue. Apparently they had to get his body into safe orientation for deployment of the parachute (head up, feet down) and then pull the cord.

The most important thing that happened can't be captured by video: the other divers' internal realization that their unconscious friend was falling like a rag doll, not like a conscious man.

And the rescue maneuver was itself dangerous: as the knockout demonstrates, you don't want to collide with heavy bodies in freefall.

The unconscious diver did wake up from his knockout... as he approached the earth, parachute deployed.

In many ways, this is the story of Obama.

Imagine if he woke up as he approached the ground, parachute NOT deployed. And no time to pull the cord.

That. Would. SUCK.

13 Saw this on the news yesterday. It was during a segment where some 16 year old girl from Texas was given a parachute jump as a birthday present from her parents. They had to go to OK for the jump cause you have to be 18 to jump in Texas I guess. She and her dad jumped. His chute opened, hers didn't. And she lived!

17 Imagine if he woke up as he approached the ground, parachute NOT deployed. And no time to pull the cord. Actually, from what I understand (I've never jumped out of a perfectly good airplane), it would suck ALMOST as much to wake up approaching the ground even with the 'chute deployed. Landing isn't as simple as just touching down (we've all seen the videos with the tuck-and-roll, and all of that). So waking up just as you were about to hit- even with the parachute deployed? Yeah. I'd need new underwear, even if I came through otherwise relatively unscathed.

Posted by: AllenG (DedicatedTenther) Ah, F It. at January 31, 2014 10:41 AM (PYAXX)

18 JackStraw, I saw a snippet of a segment on that. I admit that one reason I doubt I would ever skydive is the fear that my 'chute would not open and I would have many, many seconds to ponder my imminent, painful but rapid demise as I smacked into the ground at 120+ MPH.

20 When I did skydive (once) we had a device that would automatically deploy the reserve if the barometric pressure changed too quickly, that is we were dropping too fast. That was back in 88 (I think).

Never jumped out of a perfectly good airplane even though my uncle was the president of the American Skydiving Ass. many years ago. We'ed watch them practice out at Courtland and imagined what it would be like.

30 I've tandem dived, once. The fella I jumped with had an altimeter device that would cause the chute to automatically deploy at a certain height if he had not already deployed. He said that it was in case my head flew back or if I freaked out at the last moment and somehow knocked him out. I would think something like that would be standard.

I saw a video on TV at some point of this group of skydivers who jumped out of a plane IN THEIR CAR. They had chutes; the car did not. One of them got hit by the car in midair. How the hell do you file THAT insurance claim?

"Um, I was hit by a car."

"Where did this happen?"

"About 8000 feet above Arizona."

And I still don't know how it can be legal to drop a car from the sky. I mean a CAR. Not a fake car; an actual CAR.

35 They had to go to OK for the jump cause you have to be 18 to jump in Texas I guess. She and her dad jumped. His chute opened, hers didn't. And she lived! I've been following that story- and she's really freaking lucky. The chute deployed (they were on one of those auto-line thingies so it opened as soon as she jumped), but got tangled. Then she either didn't or couldn't get the backup chute to deploy either. Somehow she not only survived but, despite a fractured spine, is already able to stand and walk a little (obviously with help and in great pain).

63 Most of skydivers jump with an automatic activation device that deploys a parachute automatically at a certain altitude and decent rate. That said, you don't want that parachute deployment to occur when you are tumbling or on your back. This was pretty awesome.

78 one really fun conceit of Terminal Velocity is the fact that the heroine keeps LYING to the hero about what is going on, and the poor hero is just dragged along by her deceit (and also, as he later admits, because "I thought I was going to get laid"). Like in the Falk/Arkin "The In Laws," where Peter Falk just keeps lying and getting Arkin in more danger and trouble. Except with a sexual/romantic element. It's a great dynamic they should do more often.

85 I have had a couple hundred jumps, and can testify that performing this took great skill on the part of the rescuers. Also, when I was in training, our parachutes had AADs (Automatic Activation Devices) which are barometrically (altitude) activated. After training, not so much...

I almost always wore a helmet, not so much for landing, but for in-air collisions like these.

I admit that one reason I doubt I would ever skydive is the fear that my 'chute would not open and I would have many, many seconds to ponder my imminent, painful but rapid demise as I smacked into the ground at 120+ MPH. Many moons ago I went with a bunch of friends to a sky diving place. I couldn't jump as I was on crutches with a sprained ankle but I went to watch. It was pretty low altitude thing, first jump for all. I remember listening to the instructor tell the guys how to deploy the emergency chute if their static line chute didn't open. Long story short it was a pretty involved process and my back of the napkin ciphering led me to believe that after realizing your main chute hadn't opened you would get that emergency chute open about 3 seconds after you hit the ground. Pass.

102 Now, Republicans would tell you that we should just let this skydiver fall to his death.

While in the Army, I jumped static line from 800 feet at night from a C130 or C141 with a 120 lbs of parachute, rucksack, weapon, and assorted other gear, and I did it dozens of times without serious injury. Lucky me, because many of my buddies did get hurt on jumps, some of them badly hurt.

But no, I haven't had a burning, yearning urge to jump from airplanes since I've been out of the Service. I was single then, for one thing, beholden to nobody but myself: no wife, no kids, no responsibilities to others. I was also young, which meant I felt myself immortal, invincible, unbeatable. It was exciting too, and I loved the rush.

None of those things apply now. Perspectives and priorities change. I happen to like my boring, ordinary life and want to keep it if I can. Besides, I don't want my now-adult kids standing over my grave, shaking their heads, going, 'What a dumbass.'

That way you know he is in a safe position when the chute opens, he will have more time to recover and regain his senses before he lands and so you don't have to worry about his chute going off in your face--or vice versa (cause if he has a safety you probably have one too).

When he found a small airport that offered static line jumps (in the late 70's, early 80's), he signed my brother and one of his friends to jump with him. After they landed, my brother's friend commented that, by the way, it was his first time EVER in an airplane. And he jumped.

On my bucket list, but with a tandem. Don't think I could do it by myself...

310 "When a bomber explodes it's like a cigarette lighter that you try to light but won't. You see the flash of fire in an instant, and then the fire goes out. All that's left is smoke. When this plane exploded [direct flak hit] all I saw were little pieces of debris.
About four months later we heard that the two waist gunners from this bomber were back in England, thanks to the heroics of the French Underground. The American and Allied fliers had a lot of respect for the Underground because it performed many good works.

When we found out about the two waist gunners, we were informed that they would be shipped back to the States after their arrival because they knew too much about the French Underground, and they didn't want these GIs flying missions over France and Germany again.

When I heard about the survivors, I just couldn't believe it. I kept saying that I had seen the plane explode with my own eyes. I hadn't seen any parachutes. I wondered what it would have been like to have your B-24 blow up at 22,000 feet. I waited for their arrival, because I had to hear it from them to believe it. When I finally saw them I touched them and asked them 'What was it like?'

They said it was like being hit hard in the back of the head. They figured they both came to at about 5000 feet and pulled the rip cords. when they hit the ground, one of the gunners broke his leg. Other than that they were fine. They said the French Underground took damn good care of them, but that was all they could say."

321 Soothsayer... ;-)

Yup, jumping scared me far less than the planes I jumped from (which IIRC is statistically the correct fear-- at least *you* have a parachute, your jump plane doesn't!).

Actually, jumping itself never scared me much, either-- the part that freaked me out was AFTER the chute opened. Perhaps that's counter-intuitive to those who haven't jumped, but note that even at the door, the experience is unreal-- you're so high up, you might as well be looking out the window from your 767 passenger seat. I'm deathly afraid of heights, but the fear of heights never bothered me either before the jump or during (hellaciously cool) freefall.

Nope-- it was the moment the chute opened, and it gets all quiet, and then you're free to contemplate the few thousand feet right beneath your toes... THAT was the part that freaked the eff out of me.

Note: I never did conquer my fear of heights. Or, for that matter, widths.

451 Prince Charles calls climate-change deniers'headless chicken brigade'(Get ready for next king, UK) foxnews ^ | 1/31/14 Prince Charles has called people who deny human-made climate change a "headless chicken brigade" who are ignoring overwhelming scientific evidence. The heir to the British throne, a dedicated environmentalist, accused "powerful groups of deniers" of mounting "a barrage of sheer intimidation" against opponents. He made the comments at a Buckingham Palace awards ceremony on Thursday. Charles said it was "baffling ... that in our modern world we have such blind trust in science and technology that we all accept what science tells us about everything Â— until, that is, it comes to climate science." He praised finalists for the Prince of Wales Young Sustainability Entrepreneur Prize for having "the far-sightedness and confidence in what they know is happening to ignore the headless chicken brigade and do something practical to help." So long as he wastes the UK and his own money, he can do what he can think what he wants. But if he puts his hand our expecting us to front this garbage, it's time for Guy Fawkes to return...

Chris Christie of New Jersey said on Friday that the governor knew about the lane closings when they were happening, and that he had the evidence to prove it. In a letter released by his lawyer, the official, David Wildstein, a high school friend of Mr. ChristieÂ’s who was appointed with the governorÂ’s blessing at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which controls the bridge, described the order to close the lanes as Â“the Christie administrationÂ’s orderÂ” and said Â“evidence exists as well tying Mr. Christie to having knowledge of the lane closures, during the period when the lanes were closed, contrary to what the governor stated publicly in a two-hour press conferenceÂ” three weeks ago.

555 When cleaning your gun, make sure it is loaded. You never know when someone will attack you. Serious question: Has anyone actually killed themselves while "cleaning their gun"? I always assumed that was a euphemism. When I clean mine I break it apart before I clean it, then only put it back together when I'm done. I do a function check, I can see that part going wrong, if you're an idiot. If you shoot yourself in the gut or leg, you're stupid. If you shoot yourself in the head or upper torso, you probably meant to do that.
