Leg pouch deployment

Recommended Posts

I've only done a couple of leg pouch jumps on my S3 but what I noticed is that with my hand on the pilot chute my arm is already straight, so in order to pull the pc down (ie towards my feet to extract it from the pouch) and out I have to bend slightly at the hips to create a bit of 'slack' if that makes sense. Is that pretty normal? The suit was made for me and fits great.

Don't throw it towards your feet.

Throw it on your side almost like a normal BOC, the only difference is that your arm is straight and you do the same movement with the other arm.

At pull time I pull my arms in, bend my knees a little, touch the handle, and expand the wings again like I mean it, re-close, and wait...

What I mean is: I can't throw the pc out (ie sideways) until I've pulled it down a bit (towards my feet) and extracted a bit of the pc from the pouch. And because my arm is already straight when I grab the pc I don't have any reach left to pull the pc down unless I bend a bit at the waist.
