Yeah, this was the Golden Knights accident that happened 13 years ago. Guy lost both his legs around the knees and the other died instantly. The one that survived re-enlisted, got married, and has like five kids now. |

What are the odds of that happening? Guy gets his legs cut off by an arm? I think that guy deserves a beer. |

That was really unfortunate that happened, but I guess when your doing high risk stuff like this, you go into it understanding the risks. :( |

Omg, Even at 35Mph it's painfull. My hand was outside the window, while driving. Didn't see the biker going between lanes. my elbow to his chin. Lucky he was wearing as helmet, Both didn't break anithing. but couldn't move it for 6 days. |

The one thing I do not get is how the hell did the guy keep enough composure to open his chute? I am thinking shock numbed the pain, but still, looking down and seeing your legs in freefall without your body has got to throw you into some sort of panic. |

Hmmm was all that red shit that shot out the blood from his legs or the Red Smoke that was coming from them when they started the dive? |

And that guy still made several jumps after the accident without his legs, if I'm correct. |

That was their blood, the smoke they were using that time was white.
I'm curious as to Jose's injuries as you'd expect his to be the more survivable bases on what was shown here. |

Yes the guy made many more jumps afterwards without his legs, The red was a mixture of blood and smoke, and the other guy perished because of the other guy's legs pierced his chest and killed him instantly. My dad was there.... |

He was knocked out from the impact, which also popped open his chute. The landing must have been rough, those chutes have a forward speed of 30 MPH. |

curious to know how they attained 300mph from free fall when terminal velocity exists: "Higher speeds can be attained if the skydiver pulls in his limbs (see also freeflying). In this case, the terminal velocity increases to about 320 km/h (200 mph or 89 m/s), which is also the maximum speed of the Peregrine Falcon diving down on its prey" from wiki
unless of course they were doing some really hardcore high alt jump...? |

"Each diver was traveling in excess of 150 miles per hour"
150 from one direction + 150 from another direction = 300 at the point of impact

Of course that would be if they hit each other at 180 degrees i.e. coming from totally opposite directions, which may be quite hard when sky diving. :xyxthumbs: |

Some of the force of impact is lost, but the angle of impact does not become a significant factor in reducing the force of impact unless the angle is lower than 90 degrees. I don't know the exact angles but from the video the angle of impact looks pretty close to 90, which means that 300 mph would be a relatively accurate estimation as the two divers were each travelling in excess if 150 mph. |

"One of the sky divers arms actually cut both legs off the other skydiver." For some reason I couldnt help but think of Baraka from Mortal Kombat the minute I read that.

Basically what happened is that two skydivers were performing a pass-by stunt and when they passed each other (at a combined relative speed of 300+ mph) one of them clipped the other below the knees with his arms.
The result; the man who was clipped lost both legs below the knees (they were cut off when he was clipped) and the other man was killed by the impact. |

Good thing they both didnt die. At least one of them can have their chance to live life to the fullest but then again sky diveing makes you feel alive to begin with. |

WOW, thx man. I just finally got to see it too. that's incredible, the guy who lost his legs didn't die, but the other did. and how come his arm didn't break also? anyone a physics wiz in here? i suck in physics |

The man's arm was probably shattered and the impact likely transfered up to his spine and neck, breaking it and possibly also resulting in massive brain trauma. If the vid is true in that it said the guy died instantly, that is how the impact had to have affected him. |

K, but it said it was a combined speed of over 300mph. They were obviously travelling faster than just 150mph. I'm sure there's not much else but wind resistance slowing you down when you jump from a plane:cool: |
