smiler 0 #27 November 4, 2005 What if you have a hard cutaway and need to use both hands on it? If you've already peeled the reserve pad then you've just given yourself a floating reserve pad (which ok, SHOULD be easily found by following the cable, but if you're belly to earth then it could hide itself under your armpit/along your side. No need! Also it's now easier to dislodge the reserve with your left upper arm/elbow as you struggle to cutaway with two hands...?) I'd say finish cutting away before you start (peeling and) pulling reserve.www.wingin-it.co.uk Wingin' It wingsuit school Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nate_1979 9 #28 November 10, 2005 QuoteI've never peeled before pulling my cutaway handle, after eight cutaways. If you pull the handle away from your body, and not straight towards your right foot, you should not have any problems with the Velcro not un-mating. Kinda what I was thinking... I always hear people talking about "Peel, Pull" ... I only have two cutaways, one of them I did the two hands on one handle method and the other I did one hand on each handle, ... But I didnt peel on either of them, and I had no issues pulling the handles. FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

Chilly_Dk 0 #29 November 16, 2005 I learned (and trained) this method: Look, look - grab, pull - grab, pull. But.... As I did my first chop, I used this one: Look, grab - look, grab - pull, pull My main thought afterwards was not how I grabbed the handles, but the fact that I had no doubt on which one to pull first! I blame this on training my EP (I touch/grab my handles in the order I need them before every jump) and I still use the first method described. When changing from D-ring to pillow handle on the reserve, I felt no need to change this. Also, I use the peeling movement as a twist in the wrist before/while pulling, so it's not a "seperate" part. Also, a good advice I use and give: If your reserve needs a repack, do a full EP ("live" speed) to get the precise feel of the force your handles need to be peeled and/or pulled. (Warn people behind you ) (Yes, it might seem obvious to some, but I've met people not thinking of this!) It's all right to have butterflies in your stomach. Just get them to fly in formation.
