The Pow Video - Terminal Slider Down Parachute Opening at Brento

Terminal Slider Down BASE jump. August 2014 at Monte Brento. This was definitely an error. Fuck. This was a no clamp pack job packed near the main landing area that morning after the first jump. This being my 10th or 11th no clamp pack job. I was so impressed by my own awesomeness of not using clamps and doing a fuckin awesome pack job that I forgot to put the slider up. I even remember seeing the slider next to the links and neatly folding it in the pack tray. I had been jumping slider down all the week before, this was my second slider up jump of this trip at Brento. A Slider is a critical piece of material that slows the opening process down while the parachute is deploying. In BASE jumping, delays from 0 to 4 seconds usually have the slider down or off to speed up the opening on lower objects with less free fall time. Delays longer than 4 to 6 seconds require a slider (so called because it "slides" down the lines to a point above your toggles after opening) to slow down the opening. Fast parachute openings can cause severe injury or death and are extremely dangerous. Canopy: Standard F-111 Apex Flik 280 with heavy Dacron lines. They took all the stretch and punishment. some of the inner attachment tabs were a little tighter, but nothing ripped. Very close full canopy inspection revealed no damage, line trim all good. Only a slight heat kink in one of the C/D lines below the cascade near the toggles. Container: Morpheus Helium 3 ring system, fully articulated. One out of the luck bucket and into the experience bucket. Fuck. This could have been a catastrophic failure, full canopy blow out, or at the very least a broken back or neck. A mild chinstrap burn is all I got. Watch and learn kiddies. Watch and learn. DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME. Interestingly enough, this is not the hardest opening I have ever had...that was on a skydive canopy, and that opening sent me to the medical clinic.
