*** What happened ***
This short video came with a single sentence stated in the submission notes, “At the time pull another skydiver passed the parachute.” That’s a pretty succinct and accurate summary! We would also note that the jumper whose camera view we’re watching appears to be opening directly under another canopy.
*** Why did it happen ***
Unfortunately, we know very little about the events leading up to this incident. There are a few possibilities:
-- If these jumpers were on a skydive together, they may have done a poor job tracking away at break-off; they may have been off-level from one another and lost awareness of where everyone was; they may not have cleared their airspace, etc.
-- If the jumper who falls past the canopies was in a different group, he may have moved up jump run and entered the other group’s airspace. There is also a possibility that he may not have given proper exit separation.
*** How could it be prevented ***
Group Basics
When jumping in a group, everyone needs to ensure they are aware of where the other jumpers are, that they don’t fly over other jumpers at deployment altitude, that they track away properly at break-off, and that they clear their airspace before deploying.
Separation Basics
Before boarding a plane, jumpers should be aware of the direction that jump run is flying. When in freefall, they should ensure that any movement -- including tracking away at break-off -- is perpendicular to jump run to avoid encroaching into the airspace of another group. Jumpers should also ensure that they don’t rush the exit count. Counting out loud and/or counting with your fingers can help prevent a fast-count.
