nicrussell 0 #202 November 19, 2003 700ish:1 spinning 105, got a little light headed, cut away 2 second delay, and open under a nice 5 cell reserve (swift). I kept both handles but I dropped one after I landed. A lawnmower found it. Doh! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
panzwami 0 #203 November 19, 2003 280:0 Thought about it a couple times, but was always able to clear the situation (line twists, stuck toggle) before hard deck. 1800' and still not fixed - bye bye main. Matt ----- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weekendwonder 0 #204 November 19, 2003 750(+/-):2 (plus one I probably should've chopped but landed safely) Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GraficO 0 #223 November 25, 2003 1362:3 #1- Hard pull on student rip-cord gear... brought both hands in and went head-low opened in a track and blew 2 cells front to back on opening. Wouldn't fly... so I chopped. Round reserve. #2- Incident report waiting to happen... Borrowed gear, 2-way drill dive busting points to 2000ft. Short track away, couldn't find pud, no AAD, round reserve that was way too small for my weight. Deployed a lineover at just above 1000'... 10 second round reserve ride to the desert floor at 5000' ground elevation. Landed in a heap. Bruised and pissed off. #3- Misrouted bridle using a BOC covered pouch (bridle on the outside of the pouch but inside the BOC cover) total malfunction. Had Integrity risers and when the reserve deployed so did the main but risers were lodged in the 3-rings.... popped them loose and landed uneventfully in the center of the peas. Just proves what I have said for many years now... "Complacency in extreme sports will kill you. When an event gives you a whisper about your mortality.... listen to it." All reserve rides were under 300 jumps... none since. Knock on wood... GraficOGraficO "A Mind is a terrible thing to taste." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
