How Dangerous Was This?

Okay, I'm the subject of this abuse, so I'll add my apology for posterity. 2k is where Nutz checked his altimeter with his canopy fully open after making a 180 deg turn, so we're not really discussing a "fixing to splatter" scenario here. After the slap on the hand, I tracked and threw out near 3k. I usually deploy a little under 3k, so I'm often at 2k before I'm steering my canopy. Regardless, I knew this altitude was below Nutz' comfort level and should have checked my altimeter sooner. I was too focused on completing the dock we had planned, and he was entitled to kick me in the face or deploy. We never seemed very close under canopies to me either, and he didn't mention this concern at the time; however, if he wants to kick me in the butt, I'll bend over for him, but that's as far as it's going.

I was wondering what would happen if I deploy with someone holding on to me.

well, you might call it a "mr. bill" at high speed...hell we tried one after 3 seconds of freefall...nearly ripped my hands off.
