And I thought it's all about alternatives Rigging first (when you're high enough) and then cutting away if you don't really like your new creation is one option more than cutting away and finding out that you'd rather be rigging... IMHO having a rule like considering the hook knife/ves as last resort may narrow your alternatives at times (and no, I'm not teasing, just really interested in dealing with emergencies

More than full flight. It'll be controllable and predictable (no chances of the stuck toggle popping up at low altitude) Doing a PLF under a stable canopy, landing where you planned certainly isn't too much fun, but shouldn't be too bad as well... (a torn toggle is considered a "small" mal, isn't it?)

hmm, I'm highly inexperienced (approaching my 100th jump, yeah, getting the beers soon...) hence forgive me for the stupid question. My intuitive response to the initial post was, use the knife to cut the stuck toggle, leave the other one and land with the back risers. Surprisingly this option never came up in this discussion. I suppose there's a good reason for not doing so, and I'll be more than happy to know it :)
