What’s the video shared by ATSB about?
The viral video shared by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) shows a parachutist during his jump for skydiving experiencing a shocking scene. He had an orange-coloured parachute which got stuck at the tail of the plane. Other parachutists were seen jumping out of the plane following the incident.
When did the incident take place?
The incident happened in September but came to the public eye when it was shared by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB). The skydiving incident in the video happened south of Cairns in Australia. According to the report of ATSB, the incident took place at 15,000 km from the ground.
The best part is that the skydiver had survived the incident, and the ATSB in its report shared, “Despite control difficulties due to substantial damage to the horizontal stabiliser and part of the reserve parachute wrapped around the tail, the pilot safely landed the aircraft at Tully Airport.”
How are people reacting?
Ever since the video has been shared, people have flooded the comment section online. One wrote, “Glad this incident occurred without further serious injuries. Had the parachutist hit their neck or head this could have been much worse!” Another said, “Reason number 863 for not ever sky diving.”
As much as the video has raised safety concerns during skydiving, it has also increased the need for the parachutists to stay mindful at the time of exiting the plane.
