"HOLY make the beast with two backsING SHIT!!!" is a bit of an understatement!
News feed slow over there?
Football season over? ;D
oh the sky is only so big for 2 little planes.. lucky no one died..
I know a guy that is a pilot for that skydiving company, and had flown that very plane, but he wasn't up that day.
Needless to say, he was a little freaked.

No doubt. I have spent a good amount of time hanging off the strut of a Cessna, that vid had my heart racing!!
holy crap.
how did the pilot survive that?
each time ive jumped, ive always wondered what happens to the pilot if we had to bail. its not like they have their own parachute. unless he purposely wears one....

They all wear an emergency chute just in case.
Seems like the pilot at my drop zone does not wear one!

Yes he does, it's an emergency chute. It is up against the backrest of the seat. You will see them slide their arms through the shoulder straps, usually before takeoff. I'm sure it's a reg on skydive planes.
Only crazy people remove themselves from a perfectly good airplane in a non emergency.
Of course the pilot knows this...
which is why he wears a make the beast with two backsing EMERGENCY chute. ;D

that i have seen, i didnt know the back of the seat was a parachute though. I feel a lot better about the pilot now!

A lot of them look like the one on the right.

That was nuts! :o
When I went skydiving I don't think I would have gotten on the POS plane they used without a parachute! [laugh]
They were on the Today show next day. Did the upper pilot lose his license? Hope so....

man... the jumpers on the struts are freaking lucky - especially the two on the upper plan. I don't know how they managed only minor injuries
I've jumped from a King Air and a Twin Otter, but I haven't jumped a Cessna yet... What a scary video... Still makes me want to go skydiving again, though.

Sequence of events if I were the pilot and the wing came off in a fiery explosion:
1) shit pants
2) leave plane
3) continue shitting pants
4) everything else
