Hi guys,
First post, so I'll introduce myself. I'm Kars, I'm currently an AFF student. For the AFF jumps, we exit at 12,500 ft and pull at 5,500 ft.
I did my level 4 jump last weekend, and lost my balance. I ended up recovering the correct position before I had to pull, but I'm wondering what would have happened if I'd had to pull while I was on my back.
I'm assuming that the lines would have whipped me around when the parachute opened. Is that correct?
Also, what would have happened if I hadn't pulled at all and my AAD had fired off the reserve? As far as I know, it fires the reserve straight out from your back. Does that mean the reserve chute would have wrapped around me?
