how do you prevent a PC in tow?

Pretty much on every ride to altitude(during the time I seem to be napping...), I go through the jump in my mind. The exit, the jump itself, breakoff, deployment, emergency procedures.

I do the same thing. I go through my jump in my mind, but I do the aactual pulling motion right, left, pull, pull on every jump. I am sure that a high stress situation will complicate things, but at least I know my brain is trained. ---even when I am having malfunction dreams, but, unfortunately, my arms and hands refuse to move in those dreams..

Bummer. I usually just snivel until impact, stand up, dust off my suit and walk away...Erno

I just wanted to say that a loop can`t be too tight. If you think it is: get a better PC.

Yep, that's what I did first time I cut away - reverted to previous training. Then I started doing tandems and couldn't afford to do that any more, so I practiced the one handed method a lot. Seemed to work for me.

I've had two PC's in tow. On both occasions, after deploying the reserve - the main pin was released and the main canopy came out. I cut away first on both, and will do so again if I have another one.
