any one know the size of the main and reserve

It looks like the reserve is smaller - or is that just an optical illusion.

That's a nice picture, but without any context (such as what happened to cause it and how the situation ended) this thread does not belong in the "Incidents" forum.

Why? Is not a two-out an incident? Why would you need all the bloody details? Guy got a two-out and apparently landed safely - made for a nice picture.
I just saw the picture on a russian site.

BTW, there is Cyrillic writing in the corner of the image. My niece speaks, and reads and writes Russian. I E-mailed for a translation. The name of the file is dva kryla. Dva means two, I believe. In New York City it helps to know a little of almost every language.

"Dva kryla" means "two wings". The other writing is the name of the guy who took the picture.

You found a cool photo of a two-out on the internet and decided to post it in the Incidents forum. I agree with the previous person, this does not belong here (IMHO).

If this is not an incident - what it is? Sorry to offend incident police, of course..

I'd like to say thanks for posting an interesting picture sticky post in this forum, specifically this:

First off, this forum is for discussion of major incidents, ones that caused (or could have caused) serious injury or death. Small incidents like your run of the mill lineover should go on safety and training.

Some may reasonably argue that a two-out is a major incident (it certainly can cause serious injury/death). But a mere picture (with no ancillary information) that suggests an uneventful landing doesn't really belong here, IMHO.

This thread will probably be moved. No biggie.

Daniel,

Certainly no apolpgy necessary - as I believe I've may have found the translated Incident Report. So your post probably DOES belong here - as does the alleged picture of your most humble apology stance (which in itself may require some further explanation from you).

What an incredibly funny translation. Does this help anyone understand this incident? I know I have only five jumps under my belt, but so far this is clearly more a humorous Talk-back thread than your usual incident thread.

You posted indicating this is the "incident" forum. I guess the "safety and training" forum would be a good place for it.

Nice picture. I'm stealing it for training.

I not sure, but it is seems like student main canopy "Arbalet" (~300 sq.ft, 9 cell) and "K-15" (~160 sq.ft) reserve (manufactured by "Zvezda" factory, Russia).
