Skydiver left hanging at 15k feet after parachute catches plane’s tail – National

A Skydiving attempt in Australia went awry after one person’s parachute got stuck in the tail of a plane, leaving them stranded 15,000 meters in the air.

The plane, a Cessna 208 caravan, took off from the north of Queensland on September 20 with a pilot of parachutists who was 17 meters, the Australian meters, Aparalia Palloy Bureau, said the security incident.

Footage from the jump, captured by a camera mounted on the plane’s mount, shows the first skydiver operator and camera operator exiting the roller door and the prover parachute snachute handle on the wing flap, accidentally using their chute.

The parachute pulls the sky back, sending its legs into the plane’s stabilizer and knocking the camera operator out of the brake. The parachute then deployed the stabilizer, stopping the parachutist below the plane.

“The pilot remembered that the plane came in suddenly, he saw that the airspeed was quickly reduced,” said ATSB chief commissioner Angus Mitchell.

“At first not knowing what happened, the pilot believed that the plane had gone up, and it went forward when the skydiver responded with -aclane, reduced power.”

While the pilot scrambled to stabilize the plane, the top 13 parachutes came out of the plane, and two stayed at the door, watching as the skydiver used a hook knife to detach their 11 parachutes from their plane.

During the free fall, the Parachuter Parachuber successfully deployed their large parachute, which was fully supported despite being tethered and still tethered.

The parachutist then landed safely, we suffered minor injuries in the accident.

“With all the parachutists on board, the pilot checked that they had limited pitch control, given the severely damaged tail, which had part of the reserve parachute wrapped around it,” Mitchell said.

The pilot maintained a steady airspeed during the descent and made a timely call.

The pilot, who was wearing an emergency parachute, prepared to eject when he realized he did not have enough control to control the aircraft, the report said, but he landed without incident.

Mitchell said the frightening turn of events reminds Skydivers of the importance of remembering where their handholds are, especially when leaving the plane.

“Carrying a hook knife – although not a regulatory requirement – can be a lifesaver in the event of early displacement,” he said.

According to the report, the For North Freefall club in the North, which used to help you jump, now requires all skydivers to carry a hook knife. It also reiterated the importance of wearing an emergency parachute and said it was making several updates to its training and safety programs.

All parachutists on board, including the camera operator, were safely placed.
