All I see is "Dude saved his friend in mid-air who gets knocked out while skydiving" and another link and can't go any further without signing up for twitter.

On my phone I can watch the embedded video without even clicking on it, which is nice.

Hard to do relative work while maintaining 6’ separation. I don’t quite see his point.

I thought all skydivers used AAD’s these days?

All the smart ones do and I believe that most drop zones, especially USPA sanctioned ones, require them for students. They are a FAA requirement for tandems.

From the article I read, that was supposed to be a COVID joke.

Pre-takeoff checklist
The link posted by Capt. Thorpe indicates that this incident occurred 8 years ago. Is that correct, or am I missing something here?
By the way, if that link posted by PaulS is typical of twitter ... why bother?

I hadn't seen it, or at least don't recall it. And it was cool, took a lot of nads.

Yeah, I guess so. But I doubt anybody would have expected jumpers to social distance at all so the joke fell flat in my opinion.
"Fell" heh. Nice one.
