Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Nightingale 0 #66 April 20, 2006 Well, you may be better off looking at Cypres fires rather than cutaways. It's hard to prove a cutaway was caused by "complacency" because when you chop a canopy, there's usually something wrong and you can't always tell why something went wrong. Looking at cypres fires might give you better statistics, because you can compare the rates of injured and unconscious skydivers to those who just lost altitude awareness.
