At terminal, I wonder if quickly reaching for silver with the right hand would actually barrel roll you on your back... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> That lunge would probably roll you onto your back, a miserable body position for deploying a reserve.

riggerrob 643 #27 May 4, 2005 A better practice would be to strip both release cables, using both hands, then reach for the reserve ripcord. The Australians figured out this solution 25 years ago, no need to re-invent the wheel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #28 May 4, 2005 Here's what a cutaway with only a left hand looks like: http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=1209. Soft housings were the cause of the hard cutaway, but even hard housings and riser housings for the excess cable won't make every cutaway easy...
