steelyeye 0 #1 July 13, 2007 Does anyone have an electronic copy of a photo of the results of a container coming open in the plane and the damage done to the side of the aircraft (presumably by the jumper going through the side vice out the door)? We have a really poor quality picture, and I know I have seen one on-line, but can't find it. My students are always stunned when they see even the poor picture. Makes a big impression!

altichick 1 #2 July 13, 2007 I haven't seen an on-line picture but Nov 2005 Parachutist has a picture (Pg 56) - I don't know if they'd e able to help you out with an electronic copy.

jimjumper 25 #3 July 14, 2007 There is a picture in the orginal "Skydivers Handbook" by Dan Poynter. I don't have a scanner but I'm sure one of the old-timers on this site can find it and send it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lekstrom10k 0 #19 August 22, 2007 We had a quite similar one printed in Parachutist about two years ago, only it was 3855G. The whole thing was senseless and the pilot had to land with aileron and throttle as the lowest experienced jumper of 150 jumps refused to get out. two other jumpers stayed in also. Now back to the cause Bob was on a load before jumping a PC in a Style -Master type rig long risers out the top of the reserve container. He was making a second jump-mastering load with a B-4 container and attached the same reserve to the low mounted attachments. He commented "Hey look here as the reserve bounced off his knees as he walked to the plane. We always took off our reserves and put them in the corner while running the static line under our kneeling legs.When the girl was in the front side of the door Bob had the static-line down his left side then held up at her right shoulder . As she left it went down the front of him firing the center pull handle. It extracted him through the side.To this day I doubt the girl doesnt know that she didnt cause the problem. His mother was going to sue the parachute sales because if his Pop-Top had come in on time her precious darling would still be alive today. It was a hush hush story until a few years ago . Goes to show if you cant trust a story as big as a small band-aid why should you trust the rest of the paper that can cover the whole room. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d123 3 #21 August 24, 2007 I've seen the picture while I was reading emergency procedures. http://www.dropzone.com/safety/emergencies/emergency_aircraft.shtml#opem The jumper whose reserve escaped out the door of this aircraft was lucky; he survived. The 2nd picture says something about a static line student but nothing detailed. It might be lekstrom10k story. Edit: to add the link.Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

DesertDevil 1 #23 December 30, 2009 We had some guy dump his parachute out of the King Air while he was climbing out. It was scary shit. A picture was posted on Facebook. I'll see if I can find it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #24 December 30, 2009 This is a King Air N32229 currently owned by Skydive Utah as referred to above. The pictured damaged occured more than a decade prior to Skydive Utah acquiring N32229 and prior to N32229 being used for any skydiving operations. This damage did not occur during a skydiving operation, but rather when the King was being used for equipment testing and a test device had a parachute wrap the tail. There is video; I do not have permission from the owner of the video to post it. I do believe it has made its way to YouTube. The photo is used with permission from Michael Owens aka "Sparky," who was in the aircraft as a Safety Officer when the incident occurred. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tetra316 0 #25 December 30, 2009 I'm assuming from the picture the King was still able to land? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
