C208B caravan, looks like unmodified with the P&W PT6. I fly jumpers in the upgraded ones with bigger engines.
Everyone got lucky here. A canopy over the tail can cause loss of flight control. A main parachute over the tail could be cut away by the jumper by pulling a single cutaway handle. But a reserve parachute cant be released like that. The jumper fortunately was carrying and able to get to a ‘hook knife’, like a small box cutter handle and blade, and cut the individual lines to get off the tail and into freefall. He then had to deploy a main into the garbage still over his head and hope it didnt result in an entanglement.

If it happened to me, I would assume I was going to die. Then, when another sky diver saved my ass and I landed safely, I’d kiss the ground and think, never again, no way. Somebody up above me there was telling me something.

...leaving the man desperately flailing from the back of the speeding jet, video from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) shows. Since when do you parachute (for sport) from a JET?

His knife saved his life, I always carried a Glock knife upside down on my chest in my military jumps.

I always say if I fall out of an airplane, I want a welding lead because it’s bound to snag on something.
