16 year old Texas girl "falls" 3000 feet during skydive

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/16-year-old-girl-falls-3000-feet-in-skydiving-accident-and-survives/

Wtf? I thought you had to tandem jump a couple times before you could go by yourself, and at 16??

I don't blame the company though!

Thoughts?

  • I can't read the article at work but I'm confused by fall being in quotations. Did she really fall? And live?

    There’s a lightning in your eyes I can't deny
    Then there’s me inside a sinking boat running out of time
    Without you I'll never make it out alive
    But I know, yes, I know we’ll be alright

  • Can you imagine being that instructor and watching her plummet to the ground? I mean what the hell do you do? Bottom line she shouldn't have been allowed to go by herself. I wonder if her mother was there watching her..I can't imagine.

    I put fall into quotations because she didn't fall out of the plane, she jumped and the parachute malfunctioned. She really lived

  • It is a crazy story. I didn't look at your link because, like a PP, it's local news for us. They showed her up walking, with major assistance, and smiling on Monday. It is really crazy that the parents are blaming anyone but themselves. This little girl is incredibly lucky. The doctors are all amazed at her recovery.
  • Her father is such a POS. Take responsibility for your decision, jackass!

    No, she did not free fall or reach terminal velocity. She was in an uncontrolled descent with a parachute open. I don't know much about skydiving but it wasn't free falling.

    Ahh. That makes sense.

  • The dad was there, jumping too. What a piece of work! BUT I am glad the girl is OK and I hope she makes a full recovery.

    "Robert Swainson, the owner and chief instructor at Pegasus Air Sports Center in Chickasha, defended the company Tuesday. He noted that the father went up with his daughter and was the first to jump."
