Mozhaisk landing: from a strafing flight without parachutes to German tanks. Mozhaisk landing: from a strafing flight without parachutes to German tanks How to jump without a parachute

The name of the person in the video is Travis Pastrana, all the details are on the website.

In general, this is the Guinness World Record for jumping from an airplane without a parachute.

Here is what experienced people write:

- Well, in principle, people have all sorts of desires, someone wants to jump base, thinking that it is safer than skydive and that everything is fine, someone starts to feel like a hero and wants, having no experience, to jump at night or jump from 4000m without an instructor and AFF classes, but all these are already ordinary cases. It’s just that when you first look at this whole thing from a monitor or TV screen, it’s all very beautiful, delights, inspires, but at the same time no one sees reverse side medals. Immediately, questions just arise, something like “Where do they teach bass, how to start jumping?” When you already start to delve a little into everything that is happening, then every time you understand how much more everything is more complicated than it seemed. Well, if a person has such a great desire and aspiration, then I think it’s not worth fighting everything off, but it’s not worth helping to clean up either. Let him go and jump as standard with a parachute from a normally flying plane, begin to practice parachuting and then the realization will come. You see, if the priorities do not change in a couple of years, which I doubt terribly, then it will come to the originally set goal.

- in order to try to prepare and accomplish this, I think it may be necessary to actively engage in parachuting for 3-4 years (well, if in days, then approximately 1095-1461 days), for which it is desirable to make at least 1000 jumps.

And people ask:

Were there such people in Russia? Interested in the price of the issue, provided there are no jumps. preparation time in days and approximate price in rubles. please answer to the point

And the answer is in 2010 prices

- Well, actually in the west, parachuting is developed and popularized much better than ours and people jump there more often and sometimes more recklessly. When it is already difficult to surprise or be surprised by something, then for the sake of action they perform tricks, etc. Such chips were not performed by many, but, as a rule, they were very experienced athletes (by the way, some of them finished playing). So there is no question of such a trick in the absence of jumping experience and not for any earthly money. The newbie just can't keep up free fall he needs to be trained. You can try to call an experienced person for such a trick a freefly jumper with at least 1000 jumps, although even this is not enough. The main thing is that these jumps are productive. There you can also add training in the wind tunnel.

Well, I called the money quite acceptable
600r one jump, 1000 jumps 600t. rub
Let's not forget to spend about 40,000 rubles on AFF
For equipment about 200,000 rubles (system system, and other junk)
It is advisable to jump periodically with an instructor - how much money depends on how many lessons there will be
It’s good to fly in a tube, where one hour costs 22,000 rubles

At the same time, every weekend you need to spend at the airport, in short, you need to actively engage in parachuting. Well, if in a couple of years that you will actively jump and the desire to perform this trick does not disappear, then you will get to know those scumbags who want to help you.

They say it's called banzai skydiving. Apparently, ordinary skydiving does not give enough thrill to Japanese paratroopers, so they jump out of a flying plane, having previously thrown a parachute out of it. The idea is to catch your parachute in mid-flight, put it on and release it before you die from hitting the ground.

This "sport" was originally invented in order to get into the Guinness Book of Records. An entry for this can be found in the 2007 edition of the Book. After the release of the Book, Banzai skydiving quickly became popular in Japan, where anything out of the ordinary is always a success.

But not everything is so simple, here a person was hardly caught.

A few stories about real lucky people who were on the verge of death, but still survived in an almost hopeless situation during a fall from an extreme height.

Source 1The stuntman who jumped from a height of 7,600 meters without a parachute and landed safely on a stretched net

More recently, in July, extreme and skydiver Luke Aikins (Luke Aikins) successfully jumped from an airplane without a parachute - of his own free will. (He is one of two people on this list whose parachute jump was not an accident.)

The daredevil jumped from a height that is almost twice the height of a normal jump (7600 meters - skydivers who make a long jump usually jump from a height of about 4000 meters) and landed on a stretched grid almost 1/3 the size of a football field. To see how it does with nerves of steel (and other parts of the body), watch this video:

Source 2The Skydiver Who Filmed an Accident He Had While Jumping


In 2006, heartbreaking footage of the fall of skydiver Michael Holmes, who survived a seemingly hopeless situation by committing hard landing into a bramble bush were filmed with a helmet-mounted video camera that his instructor put on him before jumping from a plane from a height of 4300 meters.

Holmes, 24, did not panic when he got entangled in his parachute at an altitude of about 1.2 kilometers. Based on his rich experience and training, he, not paying attention to his uncontrolled rotation - in total during the flight he made 84 turns - tried to open the reserve parachute. He succeeded, but too late to really help in this situation. The only thing that saved his life was landing in a blackberry bush.

He escaped with a collapsed lung and a broken ankle and later returned to jumping with the words: "This is what I do. This is what I love."

Source 3The Skydaver who found out she was 2 weeks pregnant after falling from a height
Shayna Richardson started skydiving when she was 21 years old. In 2005, a Joplin, Missouri resident was making her 10th jump in Siloam Springs, Arkansas with a brand new parachute when something went wrong.

She was making a solo jump at an altitude of about 900 meters when the main parachute did not open and it is estimated that she fell to the ground at a speed of 80 km / h. The girl does not remember the moment of hitting the ground, but, according to the instructor who ran up to her, she constantly asked if she was sleeping and if she was still alive.

Richardson fell face down on the pavement. As a result of the fall, she received multiple fractures of the skull and pelvis, and also broke her right fibula.

However, the biggest shock for everyone was that the hospital found out that at the time of the jump, the girl was in her second week of pregnancy. Despite everything that happened to her future child, which she wore under her heart, was not injured.

4. A skydiver who jumped from a height of 4300 meters did not open the main and reserve parachutes


Brad Guy didn't intend to jump without a parachute, but he did, and he was lucky - he survived.

Guy jumped in tandem with an instructor. They were jumping from a height of 4300 meters when their parachute broke as soon as it was opened. He asked, "Are we going to die?" The only words, which he heard in response from the instructor, an experienced skydiver with 2,000 tandem jumps behind him: "I don't know."

The reserve parachute opened, but became entangled in the main, and they twirled in the fall. The men fell to the soft earth of the dam at the golf course. Both spent several weeks in the hospital.

In 2012, 42-year-old British stuntman Gary Connery jumped from a helicopter from a height of 732 meters and became the first person to successfully complete a wingsuit flight, landing without a parachute.

During his 40-second fall, Connery reached a speed of 121 km/h. Nearly 100 volunteers, friends and family members built a 100-meter runway for him out of 18,500 cardboard boxes.

"It was bliss," Connery said of the flight. "It was a special day in my life."

In the case of 80-year-old Laverne Everett (Laverne Everett) opened up, but she could not hold on to the straps, so she also almost made a jump without a parachute.

She trained for her jump at the skydiving center in Lodi, California. And when the moment came to take a decisive step, the woman (for unknown reasons) changed her mind about jumping and began to resist, holding her hands on the open door of the plane. Her instructor had to free her hands, and together they fell out of the plane at an altitude of 4000 meters.

The agency was fined $2,200, allegedly for not tightening the seat belts enough, which "increased the chance that a skydiving student could slip out of the belts and fall to the ground." Watch the creepy moments of the jump of an 80-year-old pensioner in this video:

7The Pilot Who Survived A 4,800 Meter Fall Into The Ocean


In 1963, Naval Aviation pilot Cliff Judkins jumped out of a burning FB Crusader into the ocean. His parachute did not open, and Judkins began to fall down from a height of 4800 meters, fully aware of what was happening during the fall.

He did not lose consciousness even after the fall, swimming, despite his injuries, to the nearest life raft. He stayed in the water for 3 hours before being picked up. A man with an internal hemorrhage and broken bones was sent to the hospital, and he fully recovered.

Source 8The Rookie Skydiver Whose Survival Was Nothing Than Divine Intervention


Rookie skydiver and mother Lareece Butler rushed to the ground when her parachute got tangled during another jump in South Africa. Instructor Joos Vos says her survival is nothing short of a miracle.

Her boyfriend watched the jump from the ground and saw how she fell in a spiral, and then literally crashed into the field.

26-year-old Laris Butler escaped with a broken leg and pelvis, concussion and bruises. She later claimed that she was pushed out of the plane after she became very frightened and began to resist, noticing problems with the parachute of other paratroopers. However, this claim was denied by the operator, the EP Parachute Club.

American skydiver Luke Aikins jumped out of a plane today from a height of 7.6 kilometers. He did not take a parachute with him. But after a couple of minutes, his friends and relatives were crying for joy and hugging Luke, rather than shedding tears over the cake from his body. Relive this incredible jump with an athlete one more time.

And now we will tell you what was behind this crazy trick.

Born into a family of base jumpers and sky divers, Luke Aikins began skydiving as a teenager. By today's 42 years old, he has made about 18,000 jumps (in 30 cases he had to open a reserve parachute), trained several world-famous skydivers, prepared tricks for " iron man- 3" and acted as a consultant.

The first time Luke was asked to do this stunt, he refused. The extreme frightened by the prospect of leaving his wife and son without the head of the family. However, two weeks later, he woke up in the middle of the night and was determined to make the jump.

Luke Aikens before the jump: “This is a calculated risk, we double-checked everything, there is science behind me. Science and mathematics are with me. We'll show you what's really possible."

The jump was prepared for about two years by several dozen people, including engineers, technicians and hundreds of dummies dropped from the sky.

Aikins jumped from a single-engine plane. Due to its low horizontal speed, it was possible to determine the point at which the athlete needed to leave the board as accurately as possible.

In the first phase of the flight, Aikins was accompanied by three parachutists who filmed the jump, carried a supply of oxygen with them and, probably, would have saved the extreme sportsman if he had been blown off the trajectory. In the footage, you can see how Aikins gave one of them an oxygen mask at an altitude of 4.5 kilometers.

Landing net dimensions - 30 x 30 meters. It was suspended at a height of 20 floors. Under it and around were only earth and sand. Technicians used fasteners that loosened the tension of the net at the moment the athlete touched it.

In order for Aikins to see the landing point during the flight, 4 narrowly directed lamps were installed on the sides of the net. When Luke was on the right track, he saw White light from them. If he saw a red light, it means that the trajectory is wrong, it must be urgently corrected.

The skydiver had to roll over on his back a second before landing. If he landed on his stomach, he would almost certainly be badly injured. If he had rolled over ahead of time, he would have lost sight of the net and most likely missed. It was this pre-landing flip that Aikins rehearsed several times during the flight.

Luke Aikins after landing: “I kind of levitated like a saint or a monk. It's incredible, wonderful. I can't put it all into words. Thanks to the guys who helped me. This is amazing!

A Soviet pilot who made a reconnaissance flight on enemy territory during his return noticed a convoy German armored vehicles moving towards Moscow.
It turned out that on the way enemy tanks there are no detachments, no anti-tank weapons. It was decided to drop troops in front of the column. A fresh regiment of Siberians was brought to the nearest airfield.
They built it, offered volunteers to jump from an airplane into the snow and stop the enemy.
Moreover, they immediately warned that they would have to jump without parachutes, from a strafing flight right in front of the column. It was not an order, but a request, but everyone took a step forward.

Here are the lines from Yury Sergeev's novel "Prince's Island": "The German column quickly rushed along the snow-covered highway.
Suddenly, low-flying Russian planes appeared ahead, as if they were about to land, they were flying over snowdrifts, dropping their speed to the limit, ten to twenty meters from the surface of the snow, and suddenly clusters of people fell on a snow-covered field next to the road.
They tumbled in the snow whirlwinds, and after that more and more fighters in white fur coats jumped and seemed to the enemy, seized with panic horror, that there would be no end to this white tornado, this white heavenly river of Russians, falling into the snow next to the tanks behind the ditch, getting up alive and grenades throwing themselves under the tracks with bundles of grenades ... They walked like white ghosts, pouring fire from machine guns on the infantry in the vehicles, anti-tank rifle shots burned through the armor, several were already burning.

The Russians could not be seen in the snow, they seemed to grow out of the very earth: fearless, furious and holy in their retribution, unstoppable by any weapon. The battle boiled and bubbled on the highway. The Germans killed almost everyone and were already rejoicing at the victory when they saw a new column of tanks and motorized infantry catching up with them, when again a wave of planes crawled out of the forest and a white waterfall of fresh fighters gushed out of them, hitting the enemy even in the fall ...
The German columns were destroyed, only a few armored cars and vehicles escaped from this hell and rushed back, carrying mortal horror and mystical fear of the fearlessness, will and spirit of the Russian soldier. After it turned out that when falling into the snow, only twelve percent of the landing force died.
The rest took an unequal battle.
