Watwheels Supersonic July 15, 2021 Share July 15, 2021 https://www.asiaone.com/singapore/red-lion-stretchered-bishan-field-after-hard-landing-during-practice-jump SINGAPORE - A member of the Red Lions parachute team was carried away on a stretcher after a hard landing during a test free-fall jump on Thursday (July 15) afternoon at Bishan. The skydiver, who was parachuting onto a field near Junction 8 mall, had a flag attached to him which got caught in the grass as he was about to land. The Straits Times saw the Red Lion parachutist take a hard fall forward and remain motionless on the ground. Medical staff who were on site quickly tended to him and placed a neck brace on him. He was then carried off the field on a stretcher. The accident occurred during the Red Lions' second test jump of the day at about 2pm. Five of them had earlier descended onto the field at about 9am. The Ministry of Defence has been contacted for comment on the incident. The skydivers are slated to make jumps at various heartland sites on Aug 7 and 8 as part of National Day celebrations. While the actual sites for the National Day celebrations have not been announced, the Singapore Armed Forces said on Wednesday that suitability assessment jumps would be conducted from Thursday to July 29. Members of the public are advised not to be alarmed and to keep clear of restricted areas within these regions for their safety. This is not the first time a Red Lion hit a snag during a rehearsal, which speaks to the calculated risks taken by the skydivers in every free-fall jump. In 2017, a member of the team had to be stretchered off after a hard landing at the F1 Pit Building during a rehearsal jump for the Army Open House. He suffered minor scrapes. During his landing, he got entangled in mid-air in the parachute of another skydiver who had landed ahead of him. In 2015, a Red Lions skydiver had to cut off his parachute while descending to the Padang during a rehearsal for the National Day Parade. He managed to deploy his back-up parachute, before landing safely on the parade grounds. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic July 15, 2021 Share July 15, 2021 Only one of the skydivers has the Sg flag attached to him/her? If the dead weight at the end of the line get caught it will slam the skydiver straight to the ground. Hope he is alright. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macrosszero Turbocharged July 15, 2021 Share July 15, 2021 Faceplant. Ouch. As someone on the video said, it appeared that the parachutist failed to flare. Operator error or equipment failure, at least he'll live to talk about it. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windwaver Turbocharged July 16, 2021 Share July 16, 2021 Hope he recovers quickly, many of my commando friends have bad knees from jumping. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttle2 Supersonic July 16, 2021 Share July 16, 2021 Probably didnt estimate the descent speed well enough due to the extra weight. Yes, confirm he didnt flare his chute (done by pulling downwards both controlling hand cords in a smooth fluid motion from top to bottom) this would make the chute lift briefly before dropping quickly and timing is crucial. I have had one bad landing for flaring too soon and too quickly during my early jumps which resulted in a drop of about 2.5m off the ground. Not serious but a pretty hard one for the legs and knees. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mersaylee Supersonic July 16, 2021 Share July 16, 2021 The beedeo showed his chute was angled slightly downward whereas others more leveled...that weight below the flag was too light...? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kklim Supercharged July 16, 2021 Share July 16, 2021 [ flag attached to him which got caught in the grass] Huh! Grass so stiff! Probably some wooden or metal stake left behind by pasar malam or funfair operator. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picnic06-Biante15 Supersonic July 16, 2021 Share July 16, 2021 Wonder how is the commando doing ? Usually a commando who injured during parachute jumping will be downgraded. It this true ? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
