Zep 0 #7 June 23, 2005 3153 jumps no mals, Still waiting CRW = 3 cutaways From my point of view a wrap is a whole lot scarier than a mal. Gone fishing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JayCam 0 #11 June 23, 2005 Well I TRIED to get a reserve ride yesterday on jump number nine but main canopy was so twisted it would cutaway. See "first really bad experience" thread lol... I think I must have the record for "attempted cutaway in fewest jumps". Does massive line twists count as a mal? J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was in November and it was the last jump I did that year (weather). Next jump was in April or so, couldn't wait to get back in the air. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites John4455 0 #16 June 23, 2005 As soon as I made my 500th jump I wanted my tandem rating. I had never had a cutaway so I rented the rig and did and intentional breakaway on the proper 3 canopy system like you were supposed to do. (about 4 years in the sport) About 50 jumps later I had a real malfunction, a line over. Probably 200 jumps later I had a bag lock. Last fall I had my first tandem cut away, a tension knot with the slider up. How do ya like it Johnny?
