Airman1270 0 #26 October 4, 2004 First reserve ride on #14, not a cutaway. T-10 main, chest mount reserve. Student jump, a 10 second delay, couldn't find the ripcord and pulled the reserve around 1200'. Unmodified 22'round, oscillated into the trees. My first terminal opening. Oh, the beer... First cutaway was #142, followed by a hard reserve pull & finally opened at 400'. Strong 26' Lopo. Last one was seven years ago, #540 following a streamer. Got open above 1000' & steered (Lopo) to a small clear spot in a neighbor's backyard. There were people on the DZ with more jumps than I had who had never seen a round parachute.

BillyVance 34 #27 October 4, 2004 Jump #401, it was a tension knot and line twists. Had me spinning on my back, hard cut away. It was kind of a strange feeling seeing a blur of color from 60+ other canopies streaming around in circles...

flyinchicken 0 #30 October 4, 2004 Jump #19 The DZ was having some miscomunication amongst the instructors. I was told conflicting things about what to do when the pilot chute on my 280 manta went over the front of my parachute. I know now that I could have landed it as I had done a few times b4. jump#229 Bad body position on my new stilletto, won't do that again! "Diligent observation leads to pure abstraction".

gordy 0 #31 October 4, 2004 Not happened yet, touching wood. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites freeflajankie 0 #32 October 4, 2004 My first was not really a cut away! I was a student and on jump 9 or 10 I was doing my first actual freefall delay (static line) And I got out, got unstable and lost altitude awareness, thinking I had to get stable instead of getting something out. I finally realized and pull at the same time as cypres fires... Reserve opens faster and I'm flying that for a few seconds before landing... Second one I was still a student! Jump 20ish somehing! I had finally learned to be stable and I deploy and nothing happens. So since I had my previous I was scared of the ground so I cut away and pulled my reserve. 3rd not a student anymore... I had borrowed gear and it had a collapsible P/C which I hadn't collapsed! So obviously I had to chop!!! 4th was an intentional one! From a 3 parachute rig that we where testing. It was around jump 400ish! Now that was fun!!! So i'm done with my cutaways at least I hope so! I sure learned a lot when I was a student AnkieSkydivers are a bunch of insensitive jerks... And that's why I don't skydive anymore!
