DSE 5 #2 August 30, 2011 QuoteMy kill-line is too short. I was wondering how large/small effect this will have on my deployment and possibility for line twists? Cheers your Kill Line is too short? Or your bridle is too short? If it's a kill line, get it fixed. You run a risk of a PCIT whether it's a WS jump or not. If you're talking about a bridle, how short is "too short" in your mind? One doesn't -need- a 9' bridle for wingsuiting, but if you're flying a big suit, it's a pretty good idea. A PCIT or long hesitation increases the chances of line twists if your body is changing position during deployment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenediktDE 2 #3 August 30, 2011 Have it fixed before you next jump. Not only linetwists get more likely, but also the chances for a massive hesitation or even a PC in tow malfunction increase! Please don't jump undermaintenanced stuff.For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D-Fens 0 #4 August 30, 2011 Thanks. So I'm talking about the kill-line. I guess it has shrunk from the friction. And what you say makes sense. Shrunk kill-line can lead to hesitation can lead to line twists. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
