Zoso 2 #1 Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) For Safety Day I'm looking for a well known picture. It is of damage to a fuselage that resulted when a jumper had a premature deployment in the plane. The canopy exited the plane and took the jumper with it. The jumper died and the fuselage looked like a huge can opener had opened it up. If anybody can help me out I would appreciate it. I've googled up a storm and failed to find the exact pic I'm thinking of. Edited March 6, 2021 by Zoso Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Binary93 65 #2 March 6, 2021 Doesn't exactly fit the description (as the jumper survied) but might be useful to you if you don't find the other one. Taken from this post: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zoso 2 #4 March 7, 2021 Binary93 – That is not it, but I can definitely use it. Thank you. The damage I recall was even worse than in the picture you posted. Gowlerk – That is not it either, but thank you for posting it. Even if I don't obtain the pic I'm thinking of, these 2 pics will get the message across. These pics are eye openers for those not aware of what can happen. The pic I'm remembering is even more shocking. I seem to remember maybe 5 feet of ripped fuselage.

A lesson I learned here and with the Australian incident is verify which parachute is wrapped before reflex cutting the main. Hope to never be there.

threecats407 0 #13 May 6, 2021 Years and years ago this happened to my Jump master (Frank) when I was doing a hop and pop in Bristol WI. We used to do poised exits straight out of the door. He used a T10 and a belly reserve, same as students did. Airplane suddenly shifts a bit causing me to lean back some. Next thing I know I am halfway down to the peas and I see another canopy and I was supposed to be the only one jumping. Turns out when I was thrown backward a bit I must have set off his reserve yanking him out after me. Thankfully he only fractured a bone in his leg and I do not recall any damage to the airplane.
