Video: No One Has Ever Accused The Japanese Of Paratrooper Expertise
Wow. As an ex paratrooper myself, being a towed jumper is a scary thing. At least this was a helo, and he was not bouncing off the side of a C-130 at 150 mph! In a helo, you have more options. They could secure him and easily land. In a plane, they either get you back into the plane (hopefully alive), or cut you free. No bueno.
I don't know...it looks like they were trying to reel him back in. They have devices that can do that. At least in the helo, speed is not really a factor, so they may have gotten him back onto the bird. I bet they did a really careful landing with him dangling beneath though.

Jeff,
Since we don't see it in the video, what do you think they did with this guy? Cut him loose?
