Japanese Paratrooper Jump Fail
01/28/09 - Only In Japan
“A line that is supposed to open a soldier’s parachute gets snagged during an Self-Defense Forces training exercise yesterday in Hokkaido. The situation was resolved when the helicopter slowly descended and allowed the soldier, who was a member of the GSDF’s elite 1st Airborne Brigade, to cut the line and fall safely to the ground. He suffered a bloody nose, but was otherwise okay.”
