Well, if two planes are going to crash in midair, I guess it's good for them to be full of suited-up skydivers.

who are in the process of getting out anyway.
Wow….first time I have seen such close coverage of an actual midair. I can count two near midairs in my flying career and I sympathize with those pilots.
+Pete Watson
And all wearing GoPros.
I wonder what the safest course of action in that situation is…. Deploying ASAP to stay above the wreckage, or trying to glide away from it then deploying?
+nick parker Get away from the plane for at least 30 seconds. The worst thing thing would be to deploy soon and have debris shred your sail.
What about Pilots
+Sonny Mikeal All 9 skydiver landed safely, as well as the two pilots, one of which was taken to the hospital to treat minor cuts.
Thanks for the answer.
+Etienne OÂ Were the pilots wearing parachutes? Â As soon as I saw it, I knew the parachuters were gonna be ok, but I worried about the pilots. Â I'm not familiar with normal procedure and if the pilot's suit up as well, or if they don't. Â The one plane with one wing left looked to just be a death trap to anyone left inside.
I just copy pasted the description lol idk man
+TheRoomy the pilots use something called a bailout rig when dropping skydivers. Parachutes can wrap around the tail, people can hit the tail and skydiving introduces a shit-ton of other unknowns that could happen. (Credit to Opcao On reddit)
