omfg i love the one that skids FOREVER!, and the one where the chutes dont open, i wish in BF2 they came with that plate on the bottom like those
What I'm trying to figure out is if these are tests or not. Surly the United States Military isn't as Down Syndromed as this video makes them out to be.
Rofl.
Rofl.
there are tonnes and tonnes of vech drops everyday, there is bound to be mess ups, some are tests on new chutes and vechs
Do you have any idea if the pallets the vehicals were being dropped with had any kind of 'skis' attached? Some of those landings looked brutal.
Notice on some of the clips that there are asian letters for time, date, etc. At least the U.S isn't the only place that screws up once in a while.
I've seen a vehicle drop like that take down a C-130. When the pallet was supposed to slide out, it got caught and the immediate drag of the parachute slammed the plane into the ground. All on board were killed. So yes, this is a normal exercise that they practice all the time, and accidents do happen.
They're either tests or training... Everthing the military buys needs to be drop tested.[RaWr]-Impsux wrote:

Every parachute the military buys needs to be tested with every piece of equipment it's meant for...
As far as the US army being stupid... Well there's plenty of that.
It would have been better if one of them had landed on a sniper.

No there isn't. It's just a fuzzy time/date stamp...in english.Ganko_06 wrote:

I am stationed at Little Rock and we do Airdrops on a regular basis, youll be surprised how many of the vehicles in that video survive just because they are built well. However some of those in the vid...obviously not so much. The chute riggers here, if they screw up a training load here, they catch alot of shit, including paperwork, if they find a rigging issue with real world, they get in serious shit, but they do take into consideration that shit happens.
Love the lady clapping on the far right...obviously stagedCoot11M wrote:

Why are the chutes in BF2 sooo small then, sureley our cars should be coming down like meteors?
