riggerrob 643 #26 January 11, 2004 18 reserve rides total. I packed two of them, the rest were packed by other people. My first reserve ride came after another freefall student packed a rental Crossbow. Clearly he had not learned the finer points of clearing stabilizers. My second mal was my fault. The closing loop was too long for my new main canopy and I experienced a horseshoe mal shortly after exit. The other jumper bumping into me in the doorway dislodged a pin that was already loose. That was also my first save as a new rigger. My third mal was an experimental canopy packed by someone else and I completely missed the country, landing in a French swamp. Then I had a string of 14 mals on first-generation tandem canopies, all packed by other people. My last mal was a spinner under a Diablo - that I packed - clearly a shoulder position problem during deployment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
