Coreefdiver 0 #26 July 18, 2012 space/alpha @1.32 WL canopy started what seemed to be a normal deployment, then the canopy yanked me and went into an aggressive spin. The line twists just started growing and growing. I figured I'd never kick out of that, so I checked my altimeter and cut away, before I had my reserve handle out, I was sitting under my reserve; the RSL did it's job. I didn't even hesitate, just knew it was time to chop and did it. I do practice my EP's before every jump.DS#727, DB Cooper #41, POPS #11065, SCR #13183, FA #2125, SCS #8306, HALO #309 SRA #5930 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maksimsf 0 #27 July 19, 2012 First and only so far on rental Navigator 280 loaded 0.9, jump #20. It was toggle fire + line over. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muff528 3 #29 August 3, 2012 Jump #16. GlidePath Maverone. 1st Hop 'n' Pop. I passed the d-bag sideways through the risers before closing. Something didn't "look right" and instead of asking I thought I'd just fix it myself. When it opened I knew right away what I did wrong. Cut it away at 2500'. I probably wouldn't have chopped it now given experience and the same "mal". My only other two cutaways were lineovers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At that particular DZ they will not let you pack rental gear. When I jumped another rig right after that I got a slammer again and noticed that metal pins on the toggles haven't been stowed in the pockets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James525 0 #31 August 6, 2012 Snap. A staffer packed me a line-over that started spinning violently. On a 220 Navarone loaded at ~0.8, on jump number 30. It all happened to quick for me to really be afraid, before I had time to think I had my reserve above me (such a pretty canopy). Now I feel much more confident, knowing I can deal with malfunctions. http://unstable-exits.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/my-first-malfunction.html Edited because I forgot to include any useful information.My skydiving - http://unstable-exits.blogspot.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
