Buy the Skydiving Survival Series if you haven't already seen it.

Then watch the malfunction segment called "Break-Away" at least twice. It's not freefall information like you requested in your post, but it's a good way to learn stuff that could save your life someday.

That's a really good, informative dvd. Also these are really good fun, children of the corn, soul flyers, money meet 2008 (which is FREE), good stuff - that's probably the longest with the most variety, the remedy. There's others I've still yet to get but all those are good. I have been recommended "learning to freefly" dvd's but I've yet to purchase those, next on my list for sure. Hope that helps.

Get the video "Break Away" on malfunctions. You also can get the video "Kinestesia" from Guy Manos. Take care of your knee, it's a fragile articulation especially when ligaments are stretched from a twist. I wish you the best recovery and hope you have a good physiotherapist. There are several treatements like electric stimulation, turbo bath for massaging your knee..etc . Take care.

Learn from others mistakes, you will never live long enough to make them all.
