elfanie 0 #27 January 12, 2004 Only had one cutaway so far (thank goodness!) - that is, if you don't count the tandem cutaway I had before my training - I would have had NO CLUE where anything was...but others were watching my back (pun intended) and the freebag and cutaway handles were retrieved. never did find the D-ring, though... My DZO started to tease me a little bit (a week later) about losing the D-ring (good humor ribbing)...and I just said, "Hey..I did exactly as YOU trained me to do. Never did you say, 'look red, grab red, look silver, pull red, hold on to it, pull silver, hold on to it..' " and grinned. he got very serious and said, "absolutely...that's absolutely right..." Not often that I get to 'win' against the DZO. -------------------------------------------- Elfanie My Skydiving Page Fly Safe - Soft Landings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
