My very first jump was an aff level 1 and when it came time to pull my shoot I pulled it. Then quikly notice nothing was happening except my instructor on my left was shaking me and the one on my right was beating the shit out of my right arm and i just look at him like what the fuck are you doing. Then I finaly notice a 1000 ft later I was still holding onto my pilot chuit. So i let that go and the rest of the way was good.
