No words, except near-missed Darwin Award ? (and by the way, what's this helmet and camera for what seems to be a newbie-jumper ??

These guys are so far to the left of the bell curve they can't see an elevation change.

Mission accomplished. They got the dock.

At like 1500', too! My butthole imploded due to such an extreme pucker

Dude this time we're getting that dock! I don't care how long it takes this time. SERIOUSLY BRO!

01:45 the guy is checking the altimeter... wtf

All I can say is, your fucking lucky to be alive.

not so lucky are the souls that have to share airspace with them

Your right!

My thoughts exactly!!!

Holy. Fucking. Shit. No words.

Maybe he is "no"ing at his failed suicide mission??...maybe they were really trying to go out with a bang! Goodness....

Are they blind?

Miiiierda!!!. Guy in front try to open the parachute and make the waive off. Too crazy. Thanx Cypress.

Nice alti checks on the ground. High fives, guys.

Waiting for that someone to blaming the GoPro...

I think it may have been "booties" that made them fall faster. !?!
Great altitude awareness on the ground after you crashed into Kevin Costner's "field of dreams".

Anyone recognize the DZ or jumpers? Want to make sure Im never in the air with these Darwin wannabe's.

for sure DZ is Lobos, 100km from Buenos Aires, Argentina. i don't know the jumpers, they seem to have enough money for gopros, but an audible altimeter is too luxurious.

Why, oh why would you upload this video for the whole world to see how stupid you are?

maybe they're not very smart.

Because they want people to learn from it and not sweep it under the rug like everyone else?

very true, we will always have idiots like these guys to help keep others from becoming them.

I learn from my mistakes...now I can learn from theirs.

they shud not be skydiving and shud have the license cancelled

Nice AAD ad. (Cypres or Vigil?)

These guys almost went skydiving forever

I believe Kirk Vernor coined the phrase, "A case of modern technology interfering with natural selection."

Hooooooolyyyyyyy shiiiiittt!!!!!

OMG! No words! He's checking his alti four times while on ground. It's a typically case of natural selection - and one day, this will happen, for sure!

GROUNDED... Knob 'eads

Safety suggestion: If these two alternated their Cypres settings, (one "student" and one "expert") they could get better separation on opening on their next skydive!

They could just use the offsets...one sets his 200 feet lower, the other 200 feet higher...and then only one of them would have to worry about the next skydive.

You should reread the manual, expert/student doesn't make a difference at terminal.

It was a joke, asshole.

Oh, you must be very good at that joking stuff, right?

Judging by how the jump went I'd say these were rather novice skydivers (with cameras? distraction issues? hmm). They both made a novice mistake and even with AADs, they got lucky. Canopy ride was 9 seconds...that would not have been enough to clear an entanglement, assuming an opening collision didn't take them out first.

Lot's of people here saying they should be grounded, or quit... I say only if this followed a pattern of reckless behaviour. Otherwise, a good chew-out from the DZO and S&TA ought to straighten them up.

There is no way on Gods green Earth I would let those two morons jump at my DZ. They are a news story waiting to happen.

To be fair a famous camera flier with a more famous model had Cypres fires in the same way about 10 years ago when they both had lots and lots of jumps (probably many thousands between them).

I know two multi thousand jump freefliers that had a similar issue and have since went on to make 10000+ more jumps.

Everyone makes mistakes, if you try to pigeon hole it into low experience or they are dumb, then you'll miss the big lesson that altitude awareness is key and this can happen to anyone.

Newer jumpers are the ones looking at their altimeters frequently.

i totally agree with you... but based on their "level" of flying skills i do belive they are pretty inexperienced ;)

As Base698 points out it is not their general level of inexperience that matters, it's the gap between their experience level and what they were trying to accomplish. That can happen at any experience level if you stretch yourself too far - it's no different than experienced jumpers femur'ing in all over the place these days.

But at that stage of development most of us think we have it licked and given the nature of the sport we (experienced jumpers) need to be particularly mindful of overzealous noobs and protect them from themselves. Think back and if you have ever heard the word "No" coming from a coach/instructor/DZO you just might have been spared from a moment like this. I know I certainly have.

I don't think I've ever seen a skydiving video with two people as careless and incompetent as these fuckheads

I don't think I've ever seen such incredible altitude awareness.....while sitting on the ground. 0' AGL, 0' AGL, 0' AGL, 0' AGL, 0' AGL, ....bahahahaah wtf?

He missed that perfectly good swoop pond. Shame!

Go Pros on the head, they're experienced!

Not necessarily, there are jump centres abroad that don't always bother checking your jump experience for camera jumping - especially after clearing your docs etc. They see a camera on your head and if you're from another country they just assume you're experienced with camera jumping. Time will eventually tell though, one day this will happen to someone who doesn't have an AAD - then things will change.....at that DZ!

At least their choos were tied.

That will never get old

56 seconds from exit and no altitude check... I am noob but I kept tapping the screen on my phone to see how long they had been dicking around. I even looked at my own wrist!

Just sell your gear and take up golf.

What a fucking idiot following a second fucking idiot....
