| [MAIL] This is the terrifying moment an Army recruit is forced to pull emergency back-up parachute after faulty gear refused to open hundreds of feet in the air during training in Alaska. The recruit identified only as Josh was in the midst of a parachute training exercise with fellow troops in the Airborne Division in Alaska in March when his parachute failed him. Footage shows dozens of soldiers gasping in horror from the sidelines as the recruit struggles to open his parachute while in mid-air. 'Oh s**t you see that guy right there,' said one soldier. Another panicked recruit placing his arms over his head said: 'OMG!' The heart stopping incident went on for seconds until loud cheers suddenly broke out as the young soldier is seen landing safely on the ground. * And there I was.... No moonlight, twisted risers in a wind gusting to 20 knots. Rucksuck won't release and headed for the trees. |
