Soldier gets sucked out of plane

This video captures the split-second moment a US soldier is sucked out of a plane.

When his parachute ripcord is triggered as he crouches on the open ramp of a military plane, it takes just over a second for the parachute to expand and rip him into the air.

A spokesman for the 5th Special Forces Group of the US military told Australia's 9 News the solder wasn't hurt.

He did however land about 30 miles from the intended dropzone.
