Red Lion parachutist stretchered off during National Day Parade after incident at landing

[in3deep]

This year's NDP is probably the most cocked up in recent years. From the 2 Red Lions landing badly and the Hormat Lanjiao ceremony for Pinky.

What's wrong with the hormat?

Meanwhile… JohnTan was so touched that he decided to give his life to defend Sinkiestan against China

 

[LordElrond]

While JohnTan’s son has a completely different reaction… English failed…

This is the song that was playing in Jeff's mind seconds before he touch the ground.

 

[tobelightlight]

Why didn't they let these parachutists land on soft, padded ground instead of a hard surface? Safety first.

Yup, and with a huge print on the soft surface "Snowflake with Strawberry flavour".

 

[steffychun]

Prob too much vaccine.

 

[laksaboy]

The old National Stadium and the Padang before recent 'renovations' were better venues for the NDP.

 

[JohnTan]

Thanks to the world class PAP healthcare, the WO is feeling a lot better. But he'll still have to sign extra for fucking up the jump.

Bargain Hen says Jeff's condition is stable and no big deal.

This is the face you make when you are severely constipated and have put in great effort only to squeeze out a tiny pebble of shit.

 

[eatshitndie]

full recovery sexpected. heng ah!

 

[laksaboy]

Parachutes can be unsafe because they are vulnerable to strong winds.

How about wingsuit flying for future NDPs?

Red lions with few hundreds of jumps ?
Will he still consider himself a red lion now?

I can also say a dead body is stable and no big deal.

These sorts of incidents serve as a lesson to people to be humble like my uncle..
Boast about things that you can do and indicate those that you can't I.e leeject to be a red lion if you know you cannot.

If he give leeson about strong winds etc my uncle will say lanjiao then anyone can be red lion and give excuse later . Why your platoon mate can handle the strong wind.

Wind conditions change constantly, even within seconds. Any seasoned parachutist will tell you each jump is a new jump as nature environmental conditions are not the same every moment, let alone per day.

Any citizen can aspire to be a Red Lion, but will have to have the physical & mental aptitude to pass the selection test & then go on to Airborne school for rigorous ground trainning.

Landing safely is only one aspect of parachutist training. Leaping out of a moving plane at 10,000ft with just a piece of cloth is another.

For a sense of scale, at that height, one can only see buildings, & cars the size of ants.

Some trainees standing at the edge of the aircraft would refused to jump & had to be escorted by the shoulders back to his seat as his knees had became soft & too weak to even walk.

Others who jump off will have to maintain stability immediately-hands & legs wide open to trap air as resistance to gravity. If not, one would tumble & roll uncontrollably falling at 9.8m2/sec from 10,000ft to 3000ft, & when he pulls the ripcord to open the chute, he would only entagle himself & the chute wrapped around him unable to open, falling straight to the ground.

I hope what i had written did not discouraged anyone from their aspirations. Airborne School is designed to help you pass, so long as you have the right focus, physical & mental aptitude as a newbie to a graduate. You can only fail yourself. Most of our courageous youths passed with flying colors each year.

Freefall is a relatively safe, quiet & untrackable INFILTRATION technique used by militaries all over the World, & is only part of broader mission to achieve national objectives.

1st off, let's wish 3rd Warrant Officer Jeffrey Heng, a member of our heroic Commandos, a speedy recovery & thank him for his efforts. He is our citizen & fellow Human. We Singaporeans leave no one behind, a bond we all made with our sacred National Pledge we swore daily since 6 yrs old.

Free fall parachuting-jumping out of a moving plane at 10,000ft is not an easy task, needs much training as well as many other factors for success including even capricious Nature environment. As he was the last jumper, the aerial vessel, after dropping off 9 other jumpers, would had moved several if not hundreds of ft away from the target drop zone due to wind & pressure from Nature, rather erratic lately with thunderstorms, sunny weather, haze & heat rising from the surface, thus the last parachutist would have to speed up, manoeuvre his flight to the drop zone quickly or else he would miss the drop zone.

Such incidents are common in real life missions. No matter how much is planned & calculated, no mortal can predict minutely how Nature will act in peacetime, & worse in wars as the unfathomable fuzzy logic of Human reactions would be another inclusive factor, thus the silent un-trackable free fall method is a dangerous operation which only the best of courageous men would undertake when nations go into conflict, on missions to save lives & loved ones, that no drone can undertake due to the nature of necessary hands-on operations in later stages of missions that no robot can perform.

That this capability is displayed on NDP is not meant to show off for fun, but to assure our citizens & those from foreign nations that think Spore is just a mere prawn, that we Spore have such abilities, with not just 9 men whom safely landed on the target drop zone, but even another whom will try hard despite any difficulties, to make it to the drop zone & complete their mission of the day. Extrapolate it to the hundred thousands of men whom served NS regularly, we may be shrimps, but fully trained & mentally armored, so think again that we are presumed easily swallowed shrimps.

He's an idiot and PAP yes man like you.

He has been an instructor for 20+ years.
Very seasoned parachutist.
