What a way to go. Yikes.

You would have to be descending pretty fast to catch up and hit a sky diver I would think.

FilthyShrooms ,

Oh they descend very fast. I’ve gone on plane rides at a skydiving spot, and as soon as the last person is out, the plane nosedive to land as quickly as possible. There’s a good chance you pass the last guy or 2 during freefall, and you land before half of the parachutes do.

It’s really fun, like a roller coaster drop, but I can definitely see it happening

€20,000 fine and half of that is “suspended” (whatever that means). That’s rough that you literally get your head cut off, and that’s what it’s worth.

gaylord_fartmaster ,

It means probation. If the pilot doesn’t violate the terms of their probation in the time set for it then they will only have to pay half of the fine.

Unless the pilot did it on purpose or was negligent in some way, they shouldn’t be punished at all: It’s terrible, but the article isn’t very specific on how this happened in the first place.

According to Le Parisien, immediately after the drop, the pilot of the aircraft began its descent towards the aerodrome tarmac.

Before the skydiver jumped out of the aircraft, there was no consultation on the trajectory the plane would take, the paper said.

One of the parties can go up and down at will. The other can only fall. It’s absolutely the pilot’s fault.

Yup, sounds like negligence to me I guess. It would still be good to know how/why this happened exactly though.

FilthyShrooms ,

Not really, this is standard practice for skydiving planes. The sooner they land, the sooner they can pick up the next group. I’ve gone on plane rides at these places and it’s like a rollercoaster drop as soon as the last person leaves.

The pilot may be partially at fault, but this is common practice in the space

Not to take away the horror of what happened to the skydiver, but can you imagine someone finding a random smashed and decapitated head on the ground? How would you even deal with that?

HikingVet , (edited )

I would probably be calling emergency services while in shock, and then sit down somewhere and smoke a joint.

Edit: Love how someone downvotes me for knowing how I would react in this sort of situation. Like, what do you think I would do?

It would be worse if a tiktoker found it, as he would do a little dance with his head on the floor while playing some stupid music.

EmpathicVagrant ,

Wake up Carlo!

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Then make a bunch of apology videos because it’s all content to these fucks.

CmdrShepard ,

This is exactly what I did after witnessing a woman on a motorcycle smash into a pickup truck broadside. She wound up losing her leg.

HikingVet ,

How long ago was this? And are you doing alright?

CmdrShepard ,

Probably a decade or so. I’m fine for all intents and purposes, but it’s not something I’ll ever forget and smoking a J immediately after was probably pretty beneficial for any PTSD that might arise from the situation.

BastingChemina ,

A firefighter told me that one of his intervention was a motorcycle on the highway.

When the arrive someone was giving a heart massage to the driver on the ground, the driver had been beheaded by the guardrail. They were trying to reanimate a headless body.

It’s really hard to anticipate what people will do when in shock

CmdrShepard ,

Sounds like their training kicked-in in full force on that call.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Went hiking with a friend, who told me to don’t come any closer and walk back the way we came. I know not to ask questions and once he has cell service, made a call to a non-emergency line.

He told me what he saw was “like a bunch of dead dogs in the woods”. Just him telling me that was causing me to shake and freak out. Whole he was calm and collected. Never bothered digging deeper. And a part of me believes that he didn’t see dead dogs, but lied to me to spare me the sight.

JustZ ,
@JustZ@lemmy.world avatar

Can you elaborate? Did police come? Did you ever ask the friend what he saw? Why would there be a bunch of fresh dogs in the woods?

A dog fighting ring getting rid of the evidence or a shitty breeder getting rid of dogs that didn't sell would be likely.

FilthyShrooms ,

Thankfully modern parachutes have an emergency altimeter that will deploy the reserve parachute (the backup one) if you’re too low and moving too fast. It’s more likely that there was a headless corpse gliding around for a while until he hit the ground or a wall

Wow.
