Mexican Paratrooper's Static Line Fails To Release, Dragging Him Behind Plane
Published 2 years ago
Terrifying footage dating back as early as 2014, shows a Mexican Armed Forces Paratrooper being dragged behind an aircraft like a ragdoll, after his static line failed to release.
There is not a lot of information regarding this incident, nor is there much to say other than, HOLY. CRAP. Now I myself am a dirty "leg", and unfortunately never had the opportunity to attend airborne school... but damn, this almost makes me glad not to have. This is quite literally the worst case scenario that could ever happen while jumping, other than your 'chutes not opening.
Limited reports have indicated that the Paratrooper was eventually brought to safety, but did sustain injuries requiring him to be admitted into the hospital. If you know the man behind the video, let us know in the comments below or have him reach out to us. It would be great if he could give us a breakdown of what was going through his mind.
