Thanks. I watched the video. I only have 24 jumps. In the video they emphasise following the same emergency procedures every time and immediately which is wise... however in some situations such as 'hard pull' they still suggest cutting away which seems odd to me. Also for the horse shoe with the pilot chute still stowed they recommend cutting away and pulling the reserve. If I had altitude (e.g. above 2000) I would want pull the main first. I would be scared of an entanglement.

Could you clarify the procedure in the following situations: - Bag lock (cut away then reserve) - Pilot chute in tow (pull reserve? Don't cut away?) - Horse shoe with pilot chute stowed (pull main -> if it doesn't clear then cut away and reserve) - Horse shoe with pilot chute entangled round leg (try to free pilot chute if altitude remains otherwise... just pull reserve?) - Total failure -> Do I cut away? Or just pull reserve? Cheers
